You must enter the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, DefaultGateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISPprovides you with all of this information.Autoconfiguration (SLAAC/DHCPv6)The router automatically determine whether it should retrieve an IPv6address for its WAN interface via Router Advertisement or DHCPv6Server.PPPoESelect this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to PointProtocol over Ethernet) connection to IPv6 Internet. DSL providerstypically use this option. This method of connection requires you to entera Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) togain access to the IPv6 Internet. The supported authentication protocolsare PAP and CHAP.IPv6 in IPv4 Tunnel ModeIPv6 in IPv4 tunneling is the encapsulation of IPv6 packets in IPv4packets so that IPv6 packets can be sent over an IPv4 infrastructure.6to4 Tunneling6to4 is an IPv6 address assignment and automatic tunneling technologythat used to provide unicast IPv6 connectivity between IPv6 sites andhosts across the IPv4 Internet.6RD6rd is an IPv6 transitioning mechanism to allow for stateless tunnelingof IPv6 over IPv4. It is intended as a mechanism to tunnel across anISP's IPv4 only access network.2.2.2.8 Mydlink Settings This section enable or disable the mydlink functionalityD-Link Corporation confidential

2.2.3 Advanced Function ConfigurationFeatureDetailed Description2.2.3.1 Virtual Server The Virtual Server option gives Internet users access to services on theLAN. This feature is useful for hosting online services such as FTP, Web,or game servers. For each Virtual Server, admins define a public port onthe router for redirection to an internal LAN IP Address and LAN port.2.2.3.2 Port Forwarding Multiple connections are required by some applications, such as internetgames, video conferencing, Internet telephony, and others. Theseapplications have difficulties working through NAT (Network AddressTranslation). This function is used to open multiple ports or a range ofports in the router and redirect data through those ports to a single PC onthe internal network.2.2.3.3 Application Rules An application rule is used to open single or multiple ports on the routerwhen the router senses data sent to the Internet on a “trigger” port or portrange. An application rule applies to all computers on the internalnetwork.2.2.3.4 QoS Engine The QoS Engine feature helps improve your network performance byprioritizing applications. Especially that allows consumers to get the bestexperience for voice, gaming, and media streaming.QoS Engine SetupThis section allows admins to enable the QoS Engine and setup uplinkspeed manually. (Advanced)QoS Engine RulesA QoS Engine Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns apriority to that flow. For most applications, automatic classification willbe adequate, and specific QoS Engine Rules will not be required.2.2.3.5 Network Filter The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access bymachines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s).It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connectingto your network.2.2.3.6 Access Control The Access Control section allows you to control access in and out ofdevices on the network. Use this feature as Parental Controls to only grantaccess to approved sites, limit web access based on time or dates, and/orblock access from applications such as peer-to-peer utilities or games.2.2.3.7 Website Filter Website Filter is a function for admins to add the Web sites to be used forAccess Control.2.2.3.8 Inbound Filter Inbound Filters can be used for limiting access to a server on the networkto a system or group of systems. Filter rules can be used with VirtualServer, Gaming, or Remote Administration features.2.2.3.9 Firewall Settings The router provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works.Unless configuring the router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond tounsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making the LANinvisible to Internet cyberattackers.D-Link Corporation confidential

FeatureDetailed DescriptionFirewall SettingThis section allows admins to enable SPI (“stateful packet inspection”also known as “dynamic packet filtering”) which helps to preventcyberattacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that thetraffic passing through that session conforms to the protocol. When theprotocol is TCP, SPI checks that packet sequence numbers are withinthe valid range for the session, discarding those packets that do not havevalid sequence numbers.DMZ HostDMZ means “Demilitarized Zone.” If an application has troubleworking from behind the router, admins can expose one computer to theInternet and run the application on that computer. When a LAN host isconfigured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incomingpackets that do not match some other incoming session or rule. If anyother ingress rule is in place, that will be used instead of sending packetsto the DMZ host; so, an active session, virtual server, active port trigger,or port forwarding rule will take priority over sending a packet to theDMZ host.Application Level Gateway (ALG) ConfigurationHere admins can enable or disable ALGs. Some protocols andapplications require special handling of the IP payload to make themwork with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG providesspecial handling for a specific protocol or application. A number ofALGs for common applications are enabled by default.2.2.3.10 Advanced Wireless Advanced Wireless Setup provides administrators to configure detailwireless perimeters.Transmit PowerUser can set Transmit Power of the antenna.WLAN PartitionWLAN Partition prevents associated wireless clients fromcommunicating with each other.WMMWMM is QoS for wireless network.Short GICheck it to reduce the guard interval time to increase the data capacity.HT20/40 CoexistenceEnabling Coexistence to ensure 802.11b/802.11g devices can work inmixed-mode network.2.2.3.12 Wi-Fi ProtectedSetupWi-Fi Protected Setup is used to easily add devices to a network using aPIN or button press.D-Link Corporation confidential

FeatureDetailed DescriptionWi-Fi Protected SetupThis section allows admins to enable and disable WPSPIN SettingsA PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to anexisting network or to create a new network. The default PIN may beprinted on the bottom of the router. For extra security, a new PIN can begenerated.Add Wireless StationThis Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless network. Itwill either display the wireless network settings to guide you throughmanual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or askyou to press the configuration button on the device. If the devicesupports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration button, you canadd it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the deviceand then the on the router within 120 seconds. The status LED on the2.2.3.13 Advanced Network Provide router will advanced flash three network times settings if the device such as has UPnP, been WAN successfully Ping, WAN added tothe Speed, network. and Multicast stream Enablers.UPnPThis section allows admins to enable or disable UPnP which helps otherUPnP LAN hosts interoperate with the router. Leave the UPnP optionenabled as long as the LAN has other UPnP applications.WAN PingIf admins enable this feature, the WAN port of your router will respondtoping requests from the Internet that are sent to the WAN IP Address.WAN Port SpeedThe WAN speed is usually detected automatically. However, adminscan select the speed manually.Multicast StreamThe router uses the IGMP protocol to support efficient multicasting –transmission of identical content, such as multimedia, from a source to anumber of recipients.
