Select
Invisible
if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the DIR-601. If Invisible is selected, the
SSID of the DIR-601 will not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID of your DIR-601 in
order to connect to it.
Refer to page 75 for more information regarding wireless security.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-601 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address
to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP
Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-601. The
DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting
and ending address of the IP address pool.

DHCP Reservation
If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation. The router will assign the IP
address only to that computer or device.
Note:
This IP address must be within the DHCP IP Address Range.
Check this box to enable the reservation.
Enter the computer name or select from the drop-down
menu and click
<<
.
Enter the IP address you want to assign to the computer
or device. This IP Address must be within the DHCP IP
Address Range.
Enter the MAC address of the computer or device.
If you want to assign an IP address to the computer you
are currently on, click this button to populate the fields.
Click
Save
to save your entry. You must click
Save
Settings
at the top to activate your reservations.
In this section you can see what LAN devices are currently
leasing IP addresses.
Click
Revoke
to cancel the lease for a specific LAN device and free an entry in the lease table. Do this only if the device no longer
needs the leased IP address, because, for example, it has been removed from the network.
Note:
The Revoke option will not disconnect a PC with a current network session from the network; you would need to use MAC Address
Filter to do that. Revoke will only free up a DHCP Address for the very next requester. If the previous owner is still available, those two devices
may both receive an IP Address Conflict error, or the second device may still not receive an IP Address; in that case, you may still need to
extend the “DHCP IP Address Range” to address the issue, it is located in the DHCP Server section.

D-Link DIR-601 User Manual
Section 3 - Configuration
The DIR-601 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically
redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network).
The DIR-601 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network
so all computers networked with the DIR-601 are invisible to the outside world. If you wish,
you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual
Server. Depending on the requested service, the DIR-601 redirects the external service
request to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
The DIR-601 is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port
may be redirected to a different port on the server computer.
Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual
Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them
by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service.
