You can select the types of messages that you want 
to display from the log. Firewall & Security, System, 
and Router Status messages can be selected.
There  are  three  levels  of  message  importance: 
Informational, Warning,  and Critical.  Select  the 
levels that you want displayed in the log.
Will  filter  the  log  results  so  that  only  the  selected 
options appear.
Updates the log details on the screen so it displays 
any recent activity.
Clears all of the log contents.
This  option  will  send  a  copy  of  the  router  log  to 
the  email  address  configured  in  the  Tools  >  Email 
screen.
This  option  will  save  the  router  to  a  log  file  on  your 
computer.
The router automatically logs (records) events of possible interest in it’s internal memory. If there isn’t enough internal 
memory for all events, logs of older events are deleted but logs of the latest events are retained. The Logs option allows 
you to view the router logs. You can define what types of events you want to view and the level of the events to view. 
This router also has external Syslog Server support so you can send the log files to a computer on your network that 
is running a Syslog utility.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use \
to protect your data from intruders. The 
DIR-655 offers the following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)     • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)     • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired 
Equivalent Privacy).  
The 2 major improvements over WEP: 
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys 
using  a  hashing  algorithm  and,  by  adding  an  integrity-checking  feature,  ensures  that  the  keys  haven’t 
been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead 
of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol 
(EAP).  WEP  regulates  access  to  a  wireless  network  based  on  a  computer’s  hardware-specific  MAC 
address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key 
encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can acces\
s the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric 
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must 
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a 
more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized \
network users can access the network.

Enter  the  SSID  (Service  Set  Identifier).  The  SSID  is  the 
name of your wireless network. Create a name using up to 
32 characters. The SSID is case-sensitive.
Select the level of security for your wireless network:
  • Best - WPA2 Authentication 
 • Better - WPA Authentication
 • None - No security 
Click Next to continue.
If  you  selected  Best  or  Better,  enter  a  password  between  
8-63 characters. 
If you selected Good, enter 13 characters or 26 Hex digits.

Configure WPA-Personal (PSK)
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish 
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to 
the added overhead.
1. L o g   i n t o   t h e   w e b - b a s e d   c o n f i g u r a t i o n   b y   o p e n i n g   a 
web  browser  and  entering  the  IP  address  of  the  router 
(192.168.0.1).  Click  on  Setup and  then  click  Wireless 
Settings on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal.
3.  Next to WPA Mode, select Auto, WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. 
Use Auto if you have wireless clients using both WPA and 
WPA2.
4. Next to Group Key Update Interval, enter the amount of time 
before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data 
is changed (3600 is default).
5. Next to Pre-Shared Key, enter a key (passphrase). The key 
is entered as a pass-phrase in ASCII format at both ends of 
the wireless connection. The pass-phrase must be between 8-63 characters\
. 
6. Click Save  Settings  to  save  your  settings.  If  you  are  configuring  the  router  with  a  wireless  adapter,  you  will  lose 
connectivity until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.
