Using the Configuration Menu
Advanced > Firewall
Firewall Rules is an advance feature used to deny or allow traffic from passing 
through the device. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You 
can create more detailed rules for the device. 
Enabled or Disabled
Click Enabled to apply the filter policy or click Disabled to enter an inactive filter policy 
(You can reactivate the policy later).
NameEnter the name of the Firewall Rule.
ActionSelect Allow or Deny to allow or deny traffic to pass through the DI-614+.
Interface Source Choose  between  a  LAN  or  WAN  source.  An  asterisk  signifies  the  selection  of  both 
sources.
IP StartThe starting IP address for the filter policy. Leaving the field blank selects all IPs.
IP End
The ending IP address for the filter policy. Leaving the field blank sleects all IPs.
Interface DestinationChoose between a LAN or WAN destination. An asterisk signifies the selection of both 
destinations.

Schedule
Select Always, or choose From and enter the time period during which the virtual service 
will be available
Port RangeEnter in the port range of the TCP/UDP ports that you want the policy to apply to.  If it 
is only a single port  that you want the policy applied to, then enter the port number in 
the Start Port  field and leave the End Port field blank.  If you want to use all the ports, 
you can leave the port range empty.

Using the Configuration Menu
Advanced  > DMZ
If you have a computer that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the    
DI-614+, then you can allow that computer to have unrestricted Internet access. Enter 
the IP address of that computer as a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host with unrestricted 
Internet access. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of 
security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

Using the Configuration Menu
Advanced > Performance 
Beacon Interval 
     
Beacons  are  packets  sent  by  an  Access  Point  to  synchronize  a 
wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is 
recommended.
TX Rates  Select the data rate. Default is 1-2-5.5-11-22Mbps. 
DTIM interval(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting. A DTIM 
is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to 
broadcast and multicast messages.
Basic Rates  
Preamble Type 
Select the data rate. Default is 1-2-5.5-11-22Mbps. 
Long preamble is the default setting. (High traffic networks should 
use the shorter preamble type.) The preamble defines the length of 
the CRC block used in communication between the Access Point 
and  the  roaming  wireless  Network  adapters.(Cyclic  Redundancy 
Check  is  a  common  technique  for  detecting  data  transmission 
errors) 
						

							
35
Using the Configuration Menu
Advanced > Performance (Continued) 
SSID BroadcastEnabled is the default setting. Choose Enabled to broadcast 
the  SSID  across  the  network.  All  devices  on  a  network  must 
share  the  same  SSID  (Service  Set  Identifier)  to  establish 
communication.  Choose Disabled if  you  do  not  wish  to 
broadcast the SSID over the network.

power 
4X Mode 
The DI-614+ has the option to adjust its wireless transmit power. 
Limiting transmit power can help in situations where you do not 
want the same signals overlapping one another.
4x  Mode  allows  for  higher  speed  wireless  performance.  Only 
other devices that support 4x Mode will be able to take ad-
vantage of the higher performance. 
Antenna SelectionSelect Internal Antenna, External Antenna, or Diversity Antenna.
Diversity
External
Internal In  this  mode,  the  DI-614+  only  uses  the  internal  antenna  for 
short distance coverage.
In this mode, the DI-614+ only uses the external antenna and 
extends wireless coverage. 
In this mode, the DI-614+ uses both the internal and external 
antenna and then uses the antenna that picks up the strongest 
signal.

Remote 
Management
To  change  the  admin  and  user  passwords,  enter  in  the  old 
password, and enter the new password twice to confirm.
There  are  two  accounts  that  can  access  the  Broadband  Router’s Web-Management 
interface. They are admin and user. Admin has read/write access while user has read-
only  access. User  can  only  view  the  settings  but  cannot  make  any  changes. It  is  rec-
ommended that you change the admin password from the default setting. The default 
password is blank (no password).
Remote  Management  allows  the  device  to  be  configured 
through the WAN (Wide Area Network) port from the Internet 
using a web browser. A username and password is still required 
to access the browser-based management interface.
IP Address
          
Internet IP Address of the computer that has access to the 
DI-614+.  If the IP Address is set to 0.0.0.0, this allows all Internet 
IP addresses to access the DI-614+.
Port 
          
The port number used to access the DI-614+. 
E.g., http://x.x.x.x:80, where x.x.x.x. is the WAN IP address of 
the DI-614+ and 80 is the port used for the Web Management 
interface.

To reload a system settings file, click on Browse to search the local hard drive for the 
file to be used. The device can also be reset back to factory default settings by clicking 
on the Reset to Default button. Use the restore feature only if necessary. This will erase 
previously saved settings for the unit.  Make sure to save your system settings to the 
hard drive before doing a factory restore.

Tools > Firmware
Browse After  you  have  downloaded  the  new  firmware,  click Browse  in 
this window to locate the firmware update on your hard drive.  
Click Apply to complete the firmware upgrade.
You can upgrade the firmware by using this tool. First, check the D-Link support site for 
firmware updates at http://support.dlink.com. Make sure that the firmware you want to 
use is saved on the local hard drive of your computer. Click on Browse to search the local 
hard drive for the firmware that you downloaded from the D-Link website to be used for 
the update. Upgrading the firmware will not change any of your system settings but it is 
recommended that you save your system settings before doing a firmware upgrade. 
Note: Do not power off the unit when it is being upgraded. When the 
upgrade is complete, the unit will automatically restart.
