QoS Engine
This option is disabled by default. Enable this option 
for  better  performance  and  experience  with  online 
games and other interactive applications, such as VoIP.
This option should be enabled when you have a slow 
Internet  uplink.  It  helps  to  reduce  the  impact  that 
large low priority network packets can have on more 
urgent ones.
This option is enabled by default when the QoS Engine 
option is enabled. This option will allow your router 
to automatically determine the uplink speed of your 
Internet connection.
This displays the detected uplink speed.
The speed at which data can be transferred from the 
router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s 
often speed as a download/upload pair. For example, 
1.5Mbits/284Kbits.  Using  this  example,  you  would 
enter 284. Alternatively you can test your uplink speed 
with a service such as www.dslreports.com.
By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other 
connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have 
an unusual network connection in which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either “Static” or “DHCP” 
in the Internet settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize that it needs 
to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network causes the 
measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on such connections, but gives much better results. 
When Connection Type is set to automatic, the automatically detected connection type is displayed here.

The  QoS  Engine  option  helps  improve  your  network  gaming  performance  by  prioritizing  applications.  By  default  the  QoS  Engine  settings  are 
disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.

Website Filters are used to deny LAN computers from accessing specific web sites by the URL or domain. A URL is a specially formatted text string 
that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the site will not be accessible and the web page will not 
display. To use this feature, enter the text string to be blocked and click Save Settings. The text to be blocked will appear in the list. To delete the

Section 3 - Configuration
SPI  (Stateful  Packet  Inspection,  also  known  as  dynamic  packet 
filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per 
session.  It  validates  that  the  traffic  passing  through  the  session 
conforms to the protocol.
Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open port 
will be forwarded to the application that opened the port. The port 
will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic must match the IP address of 
the outgoing connection.
Address  +  Port  Restriction  -  Incoming  traffic  must  match  the  IP 
address and port of the outgoing connection.
If  an  application  has  trouble  working  from  behind  the  router,  you 
can  expose  one  computer  to  the  Internet  and  run  the  application 
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a 
variety  of  security  risks.  Use  of  this  option  is  only  recommended  as  a 
last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to 
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains 
it’s  IP  address  automatically  using  DHCP,  be  sure  to  make  a  static 
reservation on the Basic > DHCP page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The D-Link DIR-655 offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature helps prevent cyber 
attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, 
you cam enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside world.
