46D-Link DIR-615 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationSPI (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 option to provide protection 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 its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the System.>.Network.Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.Enable SPI:NAT Endpoint Filtering:Enable Anti-Spoof Checking:Enable DMZ Host:IP Address:Firewall SettingsA firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-615 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 can enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.
47D-Link DIR-615 User ManualSection 3 - ConfigurationRouting This page allows you to specify custom routes that determine how data is moved around your network.

48D-Link DIR-615 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.This enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification developed to allow implementation of wireless networks in countries that cannot use the 802.11 standard. This feature should only be enabled if you are in a country that requires it.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:WLAN Partition:WMM Enable:Short GI:Advanced Wireless Settings
