Check  the  box  to  enable  the  wireless  function.  If  you  do  not  want  to  use  wireless, 
uncheck the box to disable all the wireless functions.
The schedule of time when the wireless settings rules will be enabled. The schedule 
may be set to Always, which will allow the particular service to always be enabled. 
You can create your own times in the Tools > Schedules section.
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name of your wireless network. Create a name 
using up to 32 characters. The SSID is case-sensitive.
The Auto  Channel  Scan  setting  can  be  selected  to  allow  the  DIR-655  to  choose  the 
channel with the least amount of interference.
Indicates the channel setting for the DIR-655. By default the channel is set to 6. The 
Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network 
or to customize the wireless network. If you enable Auto Channel Scan, this option 
will be greyed out.
Select one of the following:
802.11g	Only - Select if all of your wireless clients are 802.11g.
802.11n	Only - Select only if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n.
Mixed	802.11n 	and 	802.11g  -  Select  if  you  are  using  a  mix  of  802.11n  and  11g 
wireless clients.
Select the Channel Width:
Auto 20/40 - This is the default setting. Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.
20MHz - Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients.
40MHz - Select if using only 802.11n wireless clients.
Select the transmit rate. It is strongly suggested to select Best (Auto) for best performance.
Select Invisible if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the DIR-655. If Invisible is selected, the SSID of the DIR-655 will not 
be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID of your DIR-655

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 access 
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.

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. Log into the web-based configuration by opening 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.  Click on Manual Wireless Connection Setup. 
3.  Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal.
4. Next to WPA Mode, select Auto, WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. Use Auto if you have 
wireless clients using both WPA and WPA2.
5.  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).
6. 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. 
7. 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.
