Section 1 - Product Overview
•  Fas\fer Wireless Ne\fwor\bing -  The DIR-605L provides up to 300Mbps* wire\fess connection with other 802.11n 
wire\fess c\fients. This capabi\fity a\f\fows users to participate in rea\f-time activities on\fine, such as video streamin\b, 
on\fine \bamin\b, and rea\f-time audio. 
•  Compa\fible wi\fh 802.11b and 802.11g Devices  - The DIR-605L is sti\f\f fu\f\fy compatib\fe with the IEEE 802.11b and 
IEEE 802.11\b standard, so it can connect with existin\b 802.11b and IEEE 802.11\b PCI, USB and Cardbus adapters.
•  Cloud Service - The DIR-605L features a new c\foud service that pushes information such as firmware up\brade 
notifications,  user  activity,  and  intrusion  a\ferts,  to  the  myd\fink  app  on  android  and  app\fe  mobi\fe  devices.  to 
insure that your router is up-to-date with the \fatest features, myd\fink wi\f\f notify you when an update is avai\fab\fe 
for your router.
   You can monitor a user’s on\fine activity with rea\f-time website browsin\b history, maintainin\b a safe and secure  environment, especia\f\fy for chi\fdren at home.
•  Easy  Se\fup  Wizard  -  Throu\bh  its  easy-to-use  Web-based  user  interface,  the  DIR-605L  \fets  you  contro\f  what  information is accessib\fe to those on the wire\fess network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s 
server. Confi\bure your router to your specific settin\bs\u within minutes.
* Maximum wire\fess si\bna\f rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11\b and Draft 802.11n specifications. Actua\f data throu\bhput wi\f\f vary. Network conditions and environmenta\f

Section 2 - Insta\f\fation
Before you Begin
Ins\falla\fion
This section wi\f\f wa\fk you throu\bh the insta\f\fation process. P\facement of the router is very important. Do not p\face the router 
in an enc\fosed area such as a c\foset, cabinet, or in the attic or \bara\be. 
P\fease  confi\bure  the  router  with  the  computer  that  was  \fast  connected  direct\fy  to  your  modem.  A\fso,  you  can  on\fy  use  the 
Ethernet  port  on  your  modem.  If  you  were  usin\b  the  USB  connection  before  usin\b  the  router,  then  you  must  turn  off  your 
modem, disconnect the USB cab\fe and connect an Ethernet cab\fe to the WAN port on the router, and then turn the modem 
back on. In some cases, you may need to ca\f\f your ISP to chan\be connection types (USB to Ethernet). 
If you have DSL and are connectin\b via PPPoE, make sure you disab\fe or uninsta\f\f any PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump, 
or Ethernet 300 from your computer or you wi\f\f not be ab\fe to connect to the Internet.

Section 2 - Insta\f\fation
Wireless Ins\falla\fion Considera\fions
The  D-Link  wire\fess  router  \fets  you  access  your  network  usin\b  a  wire\fess  connection  from  virtua\f\fy  anywhere  within  the 
operatin\b ran\be of your wire\fess network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and \focation of wa\f\fs, cei\fin\bs, 
or other objects that the wire\fess si\bna\fs must pass throu\bh, may \fimit the ran\be. Typica\f ran\bes vary dependin\b on the types 
of materia\fs and back\bround RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizin\b wire\fess ran\be is to 
fo\f\fow these basic \buide\fin\ues:
1. Keep the number of wa\f\fs and cei\fin\bs between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - 
each wa\f\f or cei\fin\b can reduce your adapter’s ran\be from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that 
the number of wa\f\fs or cei\fin\bs is minimized.
2.  Be  aware  of  the  direct  \fine  between  network  devices.  A  wa\f\f  that  is  1.5  feet  thick  (.5  meters),  at  a 
45-de\bree an\b\fe appears to be a\fmost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-de\bree an\b\fe it \fooks over 42 feet (14 meters) 
thick! Position devices so that the si\bna\f wi\f\f trave\f strai\bht throu\bh a wa\f\f or cei\fin\b (instead of at an an\b\fe) for 
better reception.
3.  Bui\fdin\b  Materia\fs  make  a  difference.  A  so\fid  meta\f  door  or  a\fuminum  studs  may  have  a  ne\bative  effect  on 
ran\be. Try to position access points, wire\fess routers, and computers so that the si\bna\f passes throu\bh drywa\f\f 
or  open  doorways.  Materia\fs  and  objects  such  as  \b\fass,  stee\f,  meta\f,  wa\f\fs  with  insu\fation,  water  (fish  tanks), 
mirrors, fi\fe cabinets, brick, and concrete wi\f\f de\brade your wire\fess si\bna\f.
4.  Keep your product away (at \feast 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from e\fectrica\f devices or app\fiances that \benerate RF 
noise.
5.  If you are usin\b 2.4GHz cord\fess phones or X-10 (wire\fess products such as cei\fin\b fans, \fi\bhts, and home security 
systems), your wire\fess connection may de\brade dramatica\f\fy or drop comp\fete\fy. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone 
base is as far away from your wire\fess devices as possib\fe. The base transmits a si\bna\f even if the phone in not 
in use.
