Section 4 - Security
Connect Using WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista
®
The router supports Wi-Fi protection, referred to as WCN 2.0 in Windows Vista
®
. The following instructions for setting
this up depend on whether you are using Windows Vista
®
to configure the router or third party software.
When you first set up the router, Wi-Fi protection is disabled and unconfigured. To enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi protection,
the router must be both enabled and configured. There are three basic methods to accomplish this: use Windows
Vista’s built-in support for WCN 2.0, use software provided by a third party, or manually configure.
If you are running Windows Vista
®
, log into the router and tick the
Enable
checkbox in the
Wireless Setup
>
Wi-Fi
Protected Setup
window. Use the Current PIN that is displayed in the
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
section or create a
new PIN by clicking the
Generate New PIN
button. Click the
Reset PIN to Default
button to reset the PIN to default
settings.
If you are using third party software to set up Wi-Fi Protection, carefully follow the directions. When you are finished,
proceed to the next section to set up the newly-configured router.

Section 6 - File Sharing
File Sharing
The DIR-685 differs from most routers as it combines the functions of a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and a
router. Combining the NAS and router functions simplifies network configuration by eliminating the need to implement
a port forwarding rule, that would normally be required when connecting to a NAS device over a WAN connection.
Once the FTP Server function has been enabled, the DIR-685 will automatically configure itself to open the port for
the FTP protocol.
Complete the following steps to set up File Sharing on the DIR-685:
1
. Create a user or group in the
Users/Groups
window (see the
Users/Groups
section on page 64 for
instructions on creating users and groups).
2.
Create a Network Access List to define the users or groups that you want to give FTP access to in
Storage>Storage Access
window (see the
Network Access Lists
section on page 68 for more
instructions on creating Network Access Lists).
3
. You can now connect to the DIR-685 by mapping a network drive or with My Network Places.
