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.

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.

A ﬁrewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-601 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.

Routing

Enter the IP address of packets that will take this route.

Enter the netmask of the route, please note that the octets must match

your destination IP address.

Enter your next hop gateway to be taken if this route is used.

The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using

this route. A value 1 is the lowest cost and 15 is the highest cost.

Select the interface that the IP packet must use to transit out of the

router when this route is used.

Set 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 feature enables client isolation. If enabling, all clients will not be able to view or access each other’s information or within the

network.

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.

) feature click

on

Enable UPnP

. UPNP provides compatibility with

networking equipment, software and peripherals.

Unchecking the box will not allow the DIR-601 to

respond to pings. Blocking the Ping may provide

some extra security from hackers. Check the box to

allow the Internet port to be “pinged”.

You may set the port speed of the Internet port to

10Mbps

,

100Mbps

, or

Auto

. Some older cable or

DSL modems may require you to set the port speed

to 10Mbps.

Check the box to allow multicast traffic to pass

letters or numbers from a distorted image displayed on the

screen to prevent online hackers and unauthorized users from

gaining access to your router’s network settings.

Remote management allows the DIR-601 to be conﬁgured from

the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still

required to access the Web-Management interface. In general,

only a member of your network can browse the built-in web

pages to perform Administrator tasks. This feature enables

you to perform Administrator tasks from the remote (Internet)

host.

Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 whereas x.x.x.x is the Internet

IP

address of the DIR-601 and 8080 is the port used for the Web

Management interface.
