48D-Link DIR-628 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationFirewall SettingsA firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-628 offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps prevent cyber attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you cam enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol.Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:Endpoint.Independent.- Any incoming traffic sent to an open port will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port will close if idle for 5 minutes.Address.Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address of the outgoing connection.Address.+.Port. Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the IP address and port of the outgoing connection.Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of “spoofing” attacks. If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer.Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort.Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains it’s IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the Basic > DHCP page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.Enable SPI:NAT Endpoint Filtering:Anti-Spoof Check:Enable DMZ:DMZ IP Address:
49D-Link DIR-628 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationApplication Level Gateway ConfigurationHere you can enable or disable ALG’s. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP payload to make them work with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides special handling for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs for common applications are enabled by default.Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol. Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through NAT. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network, try turning this ALG off. Please check with the system adminstrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT traversal.Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player are some of the common applications using this protocol. Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off. PPTP:IPSEC (VPN):RTSP:SIP:

51D-Link DIR-628 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationSet the transmit power of the antennas.Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is recommended. This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes, determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients.Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and may create higher data loss.Transmit Power:Beacon Period:RTS Threshold:Fragmentation Threshold:DTIM Interval:WMM Function:Short GI:Advanced Wireless Settings
52D-Link DIR-628 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationEnable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature. Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature of the router. Devices can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. However, the settings of the network will not change once this option is checked.A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the PIN. Shows the current value of the router’s PIN. Restore the default PIN of the router. Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the router’s PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar.Enable:Lock Wireless Security Settings:PIN Settings:Current PIN:Reset PIN to Default:Generate New PIN:Wi-Fi Protected SetupWi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
53D-Link DIR-628 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationThis Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network.The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network.There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.Start the wizard.Add Wireless Station:Add Wireless Device Wizard:
54D-Link DIR-628 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationTo use the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) feature check the Enabled. UPnP box. UPNP provides compatibility with networking equipment, software and peripherals.Unchecking the box will not allow the DIR-628 to respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide some extra security from hackers. Check the box to allow the WAN port to be “pinged”.This section will list any rules that are created. You may click the Edit icon to change the settings or enable/disable the rule, or click the Delete icon to remove the rule.You may set the port speed of the Internet port to 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or auto.
