Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in

an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage.

Note

: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DSL-4320L

for the first time. If you are replacing an existing DSL modem and/or router, you may need

to modify these steps.

Before you Begin

•

Make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service Provider handy. This

information is likely to include your DSL account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also supply you with

additional WAN configuration settings which are necessary to establish a connection. This information may

include the connection type (DHCP IP, Static IP, PPPoE, or PPPoA) and/or ATM PVC details.

•

If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to

label each cable or take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes.

•

We suggest setting up your DSL-4320L from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet

before connecting additional devices.

•

If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE connection software

such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer as the DSL-4320L will be providing this

functionality.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the

operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other

objects that the wireless signals must pass through may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of

materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to

follow these basic guidelines:

1.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum -

each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that

the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree

angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick!

Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better

reception.

3.

Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on

range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or

open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors,

file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF

noise.

5.

If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home

security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4

GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the

phone is not in use.
