Note: Make sure that your wireless security setting is set to being WPA instead of WEP.

Enabling WEP will disable the wireless N feature of your D-Link router. WPA encryption should be used by default as it is a stronger encryption than WEP. WEP encryption on DIR series routers should only be used if you have other devices that do not support WPA.

In the event that you must use WEP, these steps will fix the certificate error.

Step 1: Click on Start, then Control Panel

Step 2: Click on Network Connections

Step 3: Right-click the Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.

Step 4: Click the Wireless networks tab

Step 5: Select your wireless Network name under Preferred networks and click on Properties.

Step 6: Click on the Authentication tab

Step 7: Uncheck the box that Enables 802.1x authentication and click OK.

WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience, when using a wireless network(such as D-Link DIR-655), by prioritizing the traffic of different applications.

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

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

Step 3: Click Advanced from the top and select WISH, from the left side.

Step 4: Check the box next to Enable WISH.

Step 5: After WISH is enabled, you can configure it, using the Priority Classifiers and WISH Rules.

WISH Rules

A WISH Rule identifies a specific data flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific data flow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.

Name

Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you. Also, ensure that you apply a check mark to the rule.
These check marks tell the router the rule is active.

Priority

The priority of the data flow is entered here. Four priorities are defined:

•BK: Background (least urgent).

•BE: Best Effort.

•VI: Video.

•VO: Voice (most urgent).

Protocol

The protocol used by the data.

Host 1 IP Range
The rule applies to a flow of data for which one computer´s IP address falls within the range set here.

Host 1 Port Range
The rule applies to a flow of data for which host 1´s port number is within the range set here.

Host 2 IP Range
The rule applies to a flow of data for which the other computer´s IP address falls within the range set here.

Host 2 Port Range
The rule applies to a flow of data for which host 2´s port number is within the range set here.

In computer networking, MAC Filtering (or EUI filtering, or layer 2 address filtering) refers to a security access control methodology whereby the 48-bit address assigned to each network card is used to determine access to the network.

MAC filter can filter each computer through MAC address in LAN; can also bind one MAC address with a static IP address. Following shows a [MAC Filter Config] dialog:

MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to each card, so using MAC filtering on a network permits and denies network access to specific devices through the use of blacklists and whitelists. While the restriction of network access through the use of lists is straightforward, an individual person is not identified by a MAC address, rather a device only, so an authorized person will need to have a whitelist entry for each device that he or she would use to access the network.

While giving a wireless network some additional protection, MAC Filtering can be circumvented by scanning a valid MAC (via airodump-ng) and then changing the own MAC into a validated one. This can be done in the Windows Registry or by using commandline tools on a Linux platform.
