Static WAN Mode
Used when your ISP provides you a set IP address that does not change. The IP information is
manually entered in your IP configuration settings.
Input the IP Address provided from your router configuration settings, ISP
or network administrator.
Input the Subnet mask provided from your router configuration settings, ISP
or network administrator.
Input the Gateway address provided from your router configuration settings,
ISP or network administrator.
DHCP WAN Mode
A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IP address when your computer requests one
from the ISP’s server. Some ISP’s require you to make some settings on your side before your
computer can connect to the Internet.
Some ISP’s may check your computer’s HOST name. The HOST name
identifies your system to the ISP’s server. This way they know your computer
is eligible to receive an IP address. In other words, they know that you are
paying for their service.
The
Release
button will release the current IP address of the router. The
Renew
button will request an IP address.

PPPoE WAN Mode
A method of connection that requires you to enter a
Username
and
Password
(provided by your
Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
The username that you use to login to your Internet connection.
Enter the password associated with your username.
Retype the password for verification.
If your ISP requires a service name, enter it here.
Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The D-Link Router allows
you to set the connection mode:
• Always on
: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
• On demand
: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
• Connect Manually
: You have to open up the Web-based management
interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to
connect to the Internet.
Defines how long the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected.
The
Disconnect
button will immediately terminate any active connection.
Note: These buttons become enabled after the router has been rebooted
with the PPPoE mode selected.
LAN
Your internal network settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in
this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. It is
recommended that you use the default settings if you do not have an existing network.
LAN Settings
The IP address of the router on the local area network. The local network
settings are based on the address assigned here.
The subnet mask of your router on the local area network.
Used with multiple routers to broadcast routing information.
This option is used if you have multiple routers.

DHCP
The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the
computers and other devices on your local area network.
DHCP Settings
Once your D-Link Router is properly configured and this option is enabled,
the DHCP Server function will assign your network devices the necessary
information to connect to the LAN and Internet. This eliminates the need to
manually configure each device on your network with IP settings.
Note: The devices on your network must have TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet
connection with the “DHCP” or “Obtain an IP address automatically” option
enabled.
This option defines the range of addresses available for the Router to assign
to your internal network. If you have any devices using static IP addresses,
be sure the addresses do not fall within the range defined here. A Static IP
address is one that is entered in manually on the device.
Example:
Your D-Link Router uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1. You’ve assigned a
computer designated as a Web server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.2.
You’ve assigned another computer designated as an FTP server with a
static IP address of 192.168.0.3. The starting IP address for your DHCP
server needs to be 192.168.0.4 or above.
The amount of time a computer may have an IP address before it is required
to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment
would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease
expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease expires
then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no
longer needed, then another tenant may use the address.
Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients
In this section, you can see what LAN devices are currently leasing IP addresses. The DHCP Client
table displays the number of clients that are receiving an IP address from the router. The computer
name, MAC address, and IP address assigned to each computer are displayed here as well. You can
Revoke
IP addresses in this section. The
revoke
option allows you to tale away a leased IP address
from a client. This feature is useful for freeing up addresses when the client table is full or nearly full.
Be sure to only revoke addresses from devices that are no longer needed on the network.

Add Static DHCP Client
Static DHCP Clients receive the same IP address all the time. This is almost the same as if a device
has a static IP address except that it must still actually request an IP address from the D-Link Router.
The D-Link Router will provide the device the same IP address all the time. Servers on your network
should either use a static IP address or this option. To input the MAC address of your system, enter it
in manually or connect to the D-Link Router’s Web-Management interface from the system and click
the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button.
A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address
is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or
colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and
the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the D-Link Router from
the computer and use the
Copy Your PC’s MAC Address
option to enter the MAC address.
Example: You have an FTP server that you want to share files over the Internet. You can connect to
the D-Link Router from the computer designated as the FTP server.
1.
Enter a designated IP address somewhere between the Starting IP and Ending IP addresses.
2.
Click the
Copy Your PC’s MAC Address
button and the D-Link Router will detect the MAC
address and enter it automatically.
3.
The computer name can be entered in for reference but is not required.
4.
Click the OK button and then click on the Save Settings button at the top of the page.
The IP address will now only be assigned to the designated computer and it will always receive the
same IP address as long as it uses the same Ethernet adapter.
Note: If you replace the Ethernet adapter in a computer that is using Static DHCP, you will need to
Copy the PC’s MAC Address again because every Ethernet adapter has a unique MAC address. The
same goes for any network device. If you replace a network device such as a print server, you will
need to input the MAC address of the new print server into the Static DHCP configuration.
Static DHCP Client List
Entries on this list can be enabled/disabled by toggling the Enable checkbox. Entries can be modified
by clicking on the paper and pencil icon. To delete an entry, click on the trash can icon. After you’ve
completed all modifications or deletions, you must click the
Save Settings
button at the top of the
page to save your changes. The router must reboot before new settings will take effect. You will be
prompted to
Reboot the Device
or
Continue
. If you need to make additional settings changes, click
Continue
. If you are finished with your configuration settings, click the
Reboot the Device
button.

Advanced
The Advanced options allow you to configure a variety of advanced features including ports, application
priority, Internet access, filters, and advanced settings.
Virtual Server
The Virtual Server option gives Internet users access to services on your LAN. This feature is useful
for hosting online services such as FTP, Web, or Game Servers. For each Virtual Server, you define
a public port on your router for redirection to an internal LAN IP Address and port.
Example: You are hosting a Web Server on a PC that has Private IP Address of 192.168.0.50 and
your ISP is blocking Port 80.
1.
Name the Virtual Server Rule (ex. Web Server)
2.
Enter in the IP Address of the machine on your LAN – 192.168.0.50
3.
Enter the Private Port as [80]
4.
Enter the Public Port as [8888]
5.
Select the Protocol - TCP
6.
Ensure the schedule is set to Always
7.
Check the Add Rule to add the settings to the Virtual Server List
8.
Repeat these steps for each Virtual Server Rule you wish to add. After the list is complete, click
Save Settings at the top of the page.
With this Virtual Server Rule all Internet traffic on Port 8888 will be redirected to your internal web
server on port 80 at IP Address 192.168.0.50.
