The D-Link DGL and the DIR series routers will measure the available bandwidth coming from your modem upon initial boot.This process can take several moments.

This process can take several moments.

1.Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1 by default).

2.Enter the username (admin) and password (blank by default), and then click Ok or Log In.

3.To check the status of this sequence, you can simply log in to the routers interface and click the STATUS TAB.

If this sequence never fully completes or doesn’t complete properly, try power-cycling both the modem and the router at the same time. Please remember to reconnect the power to the modem first and then the router. Please allow a few moments for the devices to initialize and “sync” up.

When you install a new D-Link router it is the same thing as creating a new network. Software firewalls and sometimes even the Windows firewall has to be told that you have a new trusted device on the network.

You can either set the D-Link router has a trusted network or it may require the MAC address from the bottom of the router. If you do not know how to change this in your firewall software, please contact technical support for whichever software firewall you are using for assistance in allowing the new router to be a trusted network.

Another reason, your D-Link router firmware version needs to be updated, please go to http://www.dlink.com to download the corresponding firmware update to your router

A NAT 3 situation is connecting trough a router and not having the required ports opened or not connected trough the DMZ.

If your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is DSL, it’s essential to have your modem bridged. Using the DMZ of the DSL modem with your network router is also not a guaranteed solution. Your ISP should assist in bridging the modem.

D-Link DIR series routers(DIR-615,DIR-655,DIR-660) are UPnP enabled. If your game console is also UPnP enabled, the router will permit opening ports with the auto configuration from the console.

When the device is not UPnP enabled, manual port setup is required.

Xbox Live requires ports:
· TCP 80
· UDP 88
· UDP 3074
· TCP 3074
· UDP 53
· TCP 53

PS3 requires ports:
· TCP 80
· TCP 443
· TCP 5223
· UDP 3478
· UDP 3479
· UDP 3658 should also be opened for voice chat.

Step 1: Assign your console a Static IP Address on the Network settings. You may chose the IP – 192.168.0.253 / 255.255.255.0 / 192.168.0.1

Step 2: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the wireless router in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.

Step 3: Navigate to the Port Forwarding page in the Advanced tab.

Step 4: Enable and name the rule and type in the IP address of the console. Include the ports with commas and dashes when in range. Or you may create additional rules.

Step 5: Click on Save Settings to apply the rule.

Step 6: Run the Network test in your console.

If Port Forwarding fails, set the IP address of the console in the DMZ page, but remove the previously configured ports.

The DMZ feature allows you to forward all incoming ports to one computer on the local network. The DMZ, or Demilitarized Zone, will allow the specified computer to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game does not work through the firewall. The computer that is configured for DMZ will be completely vulnerable on the Internet, so it is suggested that you try opening ports from the Virtual Server or Firewall settings before using DMZ.

Depending on the D-Link router models, divided into the following set of several.
