D LINK WIRELESE ANTINA

The dir -615 has a treditional wireless router design. Its two antenna and ports are located on the back. Geberally, we perfer to see these antennaas on the sides of the router, away from the port, for easy access of the rotere’s portes-including four lan and one wan port-are regular 10/100 ethernet. Meaning if you want rio use router for wired conneciions, you can’t take advantage of the higher gigabit ethernet for (up to 1000mbph) found in other wireless-n routers. It was easy for us to get the dir-615 up and running. The router comes with Quick Router Setup software on an included CD that walks you through the set-up via a few sample steps, including illustrations on how to setup the hardware. The manual is also contained on the CD. Alternatively, plugging the router in launches its web interface by pointing a computer’s web browers to the 192.168.0.1 IP address. The web interface, which is shared with that of other D-link routers, is one of the most intuitive and responsive on the market. It allows for accessing and managing the router’s networking features. The DIR-615 wirerless features found in high-end D-link routers, such as Dual-Band, Guest Zone (which enables you to make a separate wireless network for guests), or Shareport (which allows for use with USB devices). It does have a long list of networking features and a very responsive and intuitive web interface.
D-link incorporates a Capcha with the log- in of the web interface. This provides –more security, but if you hate having to read the distorted text, which is how the Capcha determines that the input is not generated by a computer, this could be a nuisance. The DIR-615 offers numerous network features found in other Wireless-N routers from D-link. You can then setup manual port forwarding – where you map information coming to a certain port to another computer in the network- or use the router’s preset settings for different application and services such as instant messengers, Bit Torrent, IP phone software, virtual servers, and so on. It also offers a comprehensive set of parental control tools including Network Filter, Access Control, Website Filter and Inbound Control. These tools allow you to control the network and limit access to the internet by specific criteria, such as setting a computer to only allow access to instant-messenger services during a certain period of time. The router also lets you customise its firewall to allow some services, but not others. For security, the router features virually all encryption standards found in wireless routers including all the variations of WEP and WPA. It also suppports Wi-Fi Protected Setup, a feature that allows for quickly adding wireless clients to the network without having to manually type in the encryption key.
