Advanced Network
The Advanced Network Settings menu is used to disable or enable UPnP, disable Ping responses on the WAN port and change WAN port speed.
UPnP
UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types
of networked devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn
about the presence and capabilities of other devices. DHCP and DNS service can also
be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows supported devices to leave a
network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other devices on the
network.
Diverse networking media including Ethernet, 802.11b/g Wireless, Firmware, phone line
and power line networking can support UPnP. To enable UPnP, tick the
Enable UPnP
checkbox.
WAN Ping
This feature allow users to either allow or block a Ping test from outside computers
looking to check the connectivity of your device. This is usually attempted by hackers
trying to access your router or computer from a remote device on the WAN side of the
connection. Tick the
Enable WAN Ping Respond
checkbox to allow WAN pinging of
your device.
WAN Port Speed
This section allows the user to set the wire speed over which the router will transmit
packets. The user has three options:
±
10Mbps
– Selecting this option from the drop-down menu will set the wire speed
at 10 megabytes per second.
±
100Mbps
– Selecting this option from the drop-down menu will set the wire
speed at 100 megabytes per second.
±
10/100 Mbps Auto
– Selecting this option from the drop-down menu will allow
the wire speed to be automatically set by the Router depending on the wire
speed available at any given time.

Gaming Mode
When gaming mode is enabled, the router’s QoS settings are adjusted automatically to accommodate Internet gaming. Gaming mode is enabled by
default.
Multicast Streams
These options are used to enable and optimize multicast streaming. Open multicast ports receive enhanced priority during streaming. The wireless
enhance mode enables multicast streaming optimization for the wireless LAN.
Routing
Use Static Routing to specify a route used for data traffic within your
Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN. This is used to specify that
all packets destined for a particular network or subnet use a
predetermined gateway. Static routing on the WAN is only supported if
your WAN connection protocol is not using PPPoE.
To add a static route to a specific destination IP address, choose the
Interface
, enter a
Destination
IP address, select a suitable
Subnet
Mask
, and type in the
Gateway
IP address. Click the
Save Settings
button at the top of the menu when you are finished.

QoS Engine
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video
Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a
single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video
streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology,
both wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple
data streams. These streams are then categorized by sensitivity to
delay, so applications like VoIP, Video Streaming, and Online Gaming
are given higher priority automatically. This enables multiple applications
to stream smoothly to your TV or PC.
Click the
Save Settings
button to implement the new QoS changes.

Guest Zone
The Guest Zone feature of the router allows an
additional subnet to be added. This is especially useful
for placing wireless stations in an IP subnet separate
from wired Ethernet stations. The four Ethernet ports
can also be configured to use the Guest Zone so one
or more Ethernet ports can be on a separate IP subnet.
To use a guest zone, click to select the
Enable Guest
Zone
box, if desired select a schedule when the Guest
Zone is effective. To create a new schedule, click the
Add New
button to go to the Schedules menu.
The Guest Zone can be applied to any Ethernet port by
selecting it from the
Include LAN Port
menu.
To create a new wireless SSID for the Guest Zone,
check to select the
Include Wireless
box, then
configure the new Wireless Network Name (SSID) and
the security used for the new SSID.
The default IP subnet for the guest zone is
192.168.1.0. To change the IP address scheme for the
guest zone type the new Router IP Address and
Subnet Mask in space provided.
If the
Enable Guest Zone Client Isolation
option is
selected, the router will not exchange traffic between
clients on the guest zone’s newly created subnet.
Guest zone clients will be able to access the Internet
only.
Click the
Save Settings
button to implement the
changes.

Routing between the guest zone and the original host
subnet can be enabled by clicking the
Enable Routing
Between Zones
box. If this option is not selected, the
two subnets will behave as separate networks with
access to the Internet connection, but not to computers
on the other subnet.
The DHCP server for the guest zone is configured
exactly the same as the DHCP server to the original
host zone. DHCP clients on the guest zone are listed
below the DHCP server setup menu.
The
Enable Guest Zone Client
option will create static
IP addresses for all current DHCP clients and leasers.
When this is enabled, no more DHCP clients are
allowed, the list is locked.
Click the
Save Settings
button to implement the
changes.
