D-Link DIR-300 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking
- The DIR-300 provides up to ³²Mbps* wireless connection with other 80±.11g
wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming,
online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 80±.11g wireless router gives you the freedom of
wireless networking at speeds ³x faster than 80±.11b.
• Compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g Devices
- The DIR-300 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 80±.11b
standard, so it can connect with existing 80±.11b PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features
- The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management
features including:
Content Filtering
- Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain
Name.
Filter Scheduling
- These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of
hours or minutes.
Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions
- The DIR-300 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-300 can securely access
corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard
- Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-300 lets you control
what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s
server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will
adversely affect wireless signal range.

Section ± - Installation
Before you Begin
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in
an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. Also, you can only use the Ethernet
port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect
the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you
may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).
If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump,
or Ethernet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of 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 to follow these basic
guidelines:
1.
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each
wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the
number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a
45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for
better reception.
3.
Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range.
Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets, 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.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in
use.
