1.How to change the preamble on my DI series wireless router?

Step 1: 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 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab and then click Performance to the left.

Step 4: Select Short or Long next to Preamble Type. If you experience lock-ups when transferring large files, then select Short preamble. You must also match your other wireless devices with the same preamble setting.

Note: The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication between the wireless access point and the roaming wireless network adapters. CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors.

2.How to change the SSID on D-Link wireless router?

Step 1: Open your web browser and type the IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. At the login, enter your username (admin) and password (default password is blank).

Step 2: Click on the Home tab at the top of the configuration page and then click the Wireless button on the left side.

Step 3: Next to SSID, type in a new SSID.

The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the workgroup name of your Wireless Network. All devices (access points, wireless routers, and wireless adapters) must have the same SSID to communicate on the Wireless Network. The SSID can be up to 32 numbers, letters, spaces, and dashes. Also, the SSID is case-sensitive.

Step 4: Click Apply and then click Continue to save your settings.

3.How to change the channel on DI series wireless router?

In the 802.11b/g (2.4Ghz) standard there are 11 channels (US) to choose from, all but three are overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels. The channels can be changed to avoid interference from other wireless devices that run on the 2.4 Ghz frequency range (I.E. 2.4Ghz cordless phones, bluetooth, and X-10).

Step 1: Open your web browser and type the IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. At the login, enter your username (admin) and password (default password is blank).

Step 2: Click on the Home tab at the top of the configuration page and then click the Wireless button on the left side.

Step 3: Select a channel from the drop-down menu. For best results, use channel 1, 6, or 11.

Step 4 Click Apply and then click Continue to save your settings.

When you disable the Broadcast SSID on your Access Point (AP) or wireless router, you will no longer be able to view the SSID in Site Survey. The only way to reconnect is to manually configure the wireless card.

Step 1: Log into the configuration by double-clicking on the bar graph icon in the system tray. You can also access the configuration by double-clicking on the blue D-Link icon on the desktop.

Step 2: Select the Configuration link from the left hand menu. Enter in the SSID of the AP, change the mode to Infrastructure, and click Apply.

Step 3: You can view your link quality and signal strength from the Link Info page.

Multiple SSIDs are only supported in AP mode. One primary SSID and at most seven guest SSIDs (depending on model) can be configured to allow virtual segregation stations which share the same channel.

Furthermore, you can enable the VLAN State to allow the Business Class AP to work with VLAN-supported switches or other devices. When the Primary SSID is set to Open System without encryption, the Guest SSIDs can only be set to no encryption, WEP, WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal.

When the Primary SSIDs security is set to Open or Shared System WEP key, the Guest SSIDs can be set to use no encryption, use three other WEP keys, WPA-Personal, or WPA2-Personal.

When the Primary SSIDs security is set to WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, or WPA-Auto-Personal, slot 2 and slot 3 are used. The Guest SSIDs can be set to use no encryption, WEP, or WPA-Personal.

When the Primary SSIDs security is set to WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, or WPA-Auto-Enterprise, the Guest SSIDs can be set to use any security.

Business Class APs listed in this FAQ will support VLANs. VLANs can be created with a Name and VID. Mgmt (TCP stack), LAN, Primary / Multiple SSID and WDS Connection can be assigned to VLAN as they are physical ports. Any packet that enters the AP without a VLAN tag will have a VLAN tag inserted with a PVID.

Step 1: As most APs, the default static IP address is 192.168.0.50.

Step 2: Setup the AP with an IP Address pertaining to your Management Subnet.

Step 3: Prepare your Primary SSID in the Basic Settings.

Step 4: In Advanced Settings go into Multi-SSID to enable and start adding more SSIDs.

Step 5: Use the Index selection to activate the next SSID and configure the settings. Only by clicking on the ADD button will the next SSID be added to the AP. Add as many as you want or the amount supported by the AP from the Index list.

Step 6: In Advanced Settings select VLAN and Enable with the radio button. In the VLAN List, click on the edit icon to enter the default VLAN settings.

Step 7: In this default VLAN, maintain the Management and the LAN port, Untagged . Modify which SSIDs will belong to the default VLAN, though in most cases it´s only the Primary SSID. Once again, click on the ADD button to make the changes.

Step 8: Click on the ADD/EDIT VLAN tab, to add each of the next VLAN ID, Name and associated SSID. The LAN port has to be Tagged but the Management port set to Not A Member.

Step 9: Click on ADD for each addition. Confirm that all is assign correctly in the VLAN List.

Step 10: Click on the PVID Setting tab. Preferably set to Auto Assign if single VLANs are assign to each SSID. Click on Apply to finalize.

How to configure wireless channel on D-Link DI-624?

If you cannot change the wireless channel of your VDI-624 (set to channel 6), this means that Super G™ is enabled. Super G will always be set to channel 6 but it actually uses most of the channel range between 1 and 11, which allows increased bandwidth. If you do not want to use Super G, then disable it and this will allow you to use a specific channel.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the VDI-624 in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username and password.

Step 3: Click the Advanced tab at the top and then click Performance on the left.

Step 4: Next to Super G Mode, select Disabled.

Step 5: Click Apply and then click Continue to save the new settings.
