Wireless Installation ConsiderationsThe D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection rom virtually anywhere within theoperating range o your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location o walls, ceilings,or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types

of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is toollow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number o walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum -each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapters range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so thatthe number o walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware o the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 eet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle

appears to be almost 3 eet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 eet (14 meters) thick! Positiondevices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead o at an angle) or better reception.

3. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range.Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or opendoorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, lecabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF

noise.

5. I you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling ans, lights, and home securitysystems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phonebase is as ar away rom your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even i the phone in notin use.

Wireless SecurityThis section will show you the dierent levels o security you can use to protect your data rom intruders. The

DIR-505L oers the following types of security:

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy).

The 2 major improvements over WEP:

Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a

hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys havent been tampered

with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead o TKIP.

User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP

regulates access to a wireless network based on a computers hardware-specic MAC address, which is relatively

simple to be snied out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only

authorized network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password

between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key

entered on your wireless router or access point.

WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more

secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

What is WPA



57/199


It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless DIR-505L

beore your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless

connectivity beore enabling encryption.

1. Log in to the web-based conguration by opening a web browser

and entering the IP address o the router (192.168.0.1). Click on

Setup, then clickWireless Settings on the let side, and click on

Manual Wireless Network Setup.

2. Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal.

3. Next to WPA Mode,selectWPA only, WPA2only or Auto (WPA

or WPA2).

4. Next to Cipher Type, select TKIP, AES or TKIP and AES.

5. Next to Pre-Shared Key, enter a key. The key is entered as a

passphrase in ASCII ormat at both ends o the wireless connection.

The passphrase must be between 8-63 characters.

6. ClickSave Settings at the top o the window to save your changes.

I you are conguring the router with a wireless adapter, you will

lose connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and

enter the same passphrase as you did on the DIR-505L.
