A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the
router to an existing network or to create a new network.
The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the
router. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated.
You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the
Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset
the PIN.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well
as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures.
The process is just as easy, as depressing a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the
Pin-Code Method.
The time reduction in setup and ease of use are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting
of WPA2 is automatically used.

Click the
Connect your Wireless Device
button to start Wireless Connection Setup Wizard. This wizard helps you add wireless
devices to the wireless network.
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the
PIN for the device, or ask you to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a
configuration button, you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router
within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device has been successfully added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar
only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the
device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.

Unchecking the box will not allow the DIR-815 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
Enable Multicast Streams
box to allow
multicast traffic to pass through the router from the
Internet.
Check the
Wireless Enhance Mode
box to enable
the router to forward all multicast streams from the
Internet to the wireless station using a unicast stream.
This feature helps improve the quality of multimedia
