Note: Make sure you have the latest firmware for your D-Link router.

SIP ALG allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off.

Step 1: Open a web browser and enter http://dlinkrouter.local. or http://192.168.0.1 into the address bar. Enter your password and click Log In.

Step 2: Go to Features and then click Firewall. Click Advanced Settings and then click SIP to disable it.

Step 3: Click Save.

IMPORTANT: D-Link does not guarantee the compatibility of all USB storage devices.

Step 1: Open your web browser and type in http://dlinkrouter.local. or type in the IP address of the router (default – http://192.168.0.1).

Step 2: Enter or select the username (admin) and enter your password (blank by default), and then click OK or Log In. The password is case-sensitive.

If you forgot your password, you will need to reset the router back to the factory default settings. Unfortunately this will remove any settings you have and you will need to reconfigure your router.

To reset your router, use a paper clip and press & hold the reset button (usually located on the back of the router) for 10 seconds and release. Allow 1 minute to reboot. The default IP address of the router will be 192.168.0.1and the password is blank.

If you are connecting wirelessly, you will need to reconnect your device to the default wireless network after the router reboots. The default Wi-Fi network/password may be printed on the label on the bottom of the router or on the included Wi-Fi Configuration Card (newer models).

To reconfigure, refer to the Quick Install Guide included with your router or download the PDF (click Close and then click Downloads).

Step 3: Click on Settings and then USB Sharing.

Step 4: Enable Windows File Sharing (SAMBA), then click Save.

How to setup Ethernet WAN mode in ASUS DSL-AC68U/R Wireless Router

For DSL-AC68U/R, it does not have a standalone Ethernet WAN port. Here we provide you a way to configure one of your LAN port as Ethernet WAN port.

Case A: Disable Dual WAN

In WAN – Dual WAN page, if you set Enable Dual WAN to OFF, you are in this case.

(1)Please set Primary WAN to Ethernet WAN and choose a proper LAN port which is not used currently. For example, I am using LAN port 3 so I choose LAN port 4. And please press Apply button, wait for the process done.

(2)Then go to WAN – Internet Connection page. Please set WAN Connection Type to Automatic IP (or PPPoE, etc.). If your ISP needs VLAN ID, please set 802.1Q. Enable field to Yes, fill with proper VLAN ID (e.g., 10) and 802.1P (e.g., 0). Finally, please remember to press Apply button. Now you can go to Network Map to check if you can get IP properly.

Case B: Enable Dual WAN

In WAN – Dual WAN page, if you set Enable Dual WAN to ON, you are in this case.

(1)Please set either Primary/ Secondary WAN to Ethernet WAN and choose a proper LAN port which is not used currently. For example, I am using LAN port 3 so I choose LAN port 4. And please press Apply button, wait for the process done.

(2)Then go to WAN – Internet Connection page. Please set WAN Type to Ethernet WAN firstly, and set WAN Connection Type to Automatic IP (or PPPoE, etc.). If your ISP needs VLAN ID, please set 802.1Q . Enable field to Yes, fill with proper VLAN ID (e.g., 10) and 802.1P (e.g., 0). Finally, please remember to press Apply button. Now you can go to Network Map to check if you can get IP properly.

How to adjust Antenna Output Power of RT-N56U？

In setting page:
1. Clink on「Advanced Setting」

2. Clink on「Wireless」

3. Please input valid numbers from 0 to 100 in「Tx Power adjustment」 (Default: 100)

4. Clink on「Apply」

※ Note：The numbers of available adjustment range of antenna output power of RT-N56U are from 0 to 100 only and the default setting is 100% power.
The less number you set can save the electronic power, but comparatively reduce the range of the wireless signal of RT-N56U.

QoS (Quality of Service) is designed to shape and prioritize your internet traffic among the computers on your LAN. This allows for an optimized internet experience.

To set up QoS in your router, use the following steps:

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DIR series router into the address bar (default is http://192.168.0.1).

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click on OK.

Step 3: Click on the Advanced tab at the top and then click on QOS Engine on the left hand side.

WAN TRAFFIC SHAPING

• Enable QoS Engine: Enable this option for better performance and experience with online games and other interactive applications, such as VoIP.
• Automatic Uplink Speed: When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the useful uplink bandwidth each time the WAN interface is re-established (after a reboot, for example).
• Measured Uplink Speed: This is the uplink speed measured when the WAN interface was last re-established. The value may be lower than that reported by your ISP as it does not include all of the network protocol overheads associated with your ISP’s network. Typically, this figure will be between 87% and 91% of the stated uplink speed for xDSL connections and around 5 kbps lower for cable network connections.
• Manual Uplink Speed: If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this option allows you to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often specify speed as a downlink/uplink pair; for example, 1.5Mbps/284kbps. For this example, you would enter “284”. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed with a service such as www.dslreports.com. Note however that sites such as DSL Reports, because they do not consider as many network protocol overheads, will generally note speeds slightly lower than the Measured Uplink Speed or the ISP rated speed.

Step 4: Click Save Settings.
