You can stealth ports on any D-Link router by forwarding traffic for a particular port to an invalid IP on your LAN.

For example, if you want to stealth port 125, go to the Virtual Server from the web management on your router and map port 113 to 192.168.0.250, or another IP address not in use on your local network.

Note: When stealthing port 113, certain programs like Mirc and ICQ may not work.

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 2: Click on Advanced on top and then click Virtual Server on the left side.

Step 3: Make a new entry:

• Click Enabled
• Enter name (stealth113)
• For Private IP, enter an IP address not on your network (ie 192.168.0.250)
• Select TCP for Protocol Type
• Enter 113 for both Private and Public Ports
• Select Always
• Click Apply and then Continue to save changes.

This article teach you how to D-Link router to restore factory settings,di-524 as an example.

Step 1 With the unit on, place a paper clip into the hole on the back on the unit labeled Reset.

Step 2 Hold paper clip down for 10 seconds and release. (Note: Do not repower unit during this procedure.)

Step 3 The unit will reboot on its own. Once the WLAN light stops blinking, the unit is reset.
