The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration:
Enable DHCP  Server: Check this box to enab\fe the DHCP server on your 
router. Uncheck to disab\fe this function.
DHCP IP Address  Range:Enter the startin\b and endin\b IP addresses for the 
DHCP server’s IP assi\bnment.
DHCP Lease  Time: The  \fen\bth  of  time  for  the  IP  address  \fease.  Enter 
the Lease time in minutes.
Always 
Br\fadcast: If a\f\f the computers on the LAN successfu\f\fy obtain 
their  IP  addresses  from  the  router’s  DHCP  server 
as  expected,  this  option  can  remain  disab\fed. 
However,  if  one  of  the  computers  on  the  LAN 
fai\fs  to  obtain  an  IP  address  from  the  router’s 
DHCP  server,  it  may  have  an  o\fd  DHCP  c\fient  that 
incorrect\fy  turns  off  the  broadcast  fla\b  of  DHCP 
packets. Enab\fin\b this option wi\f\f cause the router 
to  a\fways  broadcast  its  responses  to  a\f\f  c\fients, 
thereby  workin\b  around  the  prob\fem,  at  the  cost 
of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN.
NetBI\bS 
ann\funcement: Check  this  box  to  a\f\fow  the  DHCP  Server  to  offer 
NetBIOS  confi\buration  settin\bs  to  the  LAN  hosts. 
NetBIOS  a\f\fow  LAN  hosts  to  discover  a\f\f  other 
computers within the network, e.\b. within Network 
Nei\bhborhood.
Learn NetBI\bS  fr\fm WAN: If NetBIOS announcement is switched on, it wi\f\f cause WINS information to be \fearned from the WAN side, if avai\fab\fe. Turn 
this settin\b off to confi\bure manua\f\fy.
NetBI\bS Sc\fpe: This is an advanced settin\b and is norma\f\fy \feft b\fank. This a\f\fows the confi\buration of a NetBIOS ‘domain’ name under which 
network hosts operate. This settin\b has no eff\uect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.

NetBI\bS n\fde  type:This fie\fd indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name re\bistration and discovery. H-Node, this indicates a Hybrid-
State of operation. First WINS servers are tried, if any, fo\f\fowed by \foca\f network broadcast. This is \benera\f\fy the preferred mode 
if you have confi\bured WINS servers. M-Node (defau\ft), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First Broadcast operation 
is performed to re\bister hosts and discover other hosts, if broadcast operation fai\fs, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode 
favours broadcast operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachab\fe by a s\fow network \fink and the majority 
of  network  services  such  as  servers  and  printers  are  \foca\f  to  the  LAN.  P-Node,  this  indicates  to  use WINS  servers  ONLY. This 
settin\b is usefu\f to force a\f\f NetBIOS operation to the confi\bured WINS servers. You must have confi\bured at \feast the primary 
WINS server IP to point to a workin\b WINS server. B-Node, this indicates to use \foca\f network broadcast ONLY. This settin\b is 
usefu\f where there are no WINS servers avai\fab\fe, however, it is preferred you try M-Node operation first. This settin\b has no 
effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.
Primary WINS  Server IP address: Confi\bure  the  IP  address  of  the  preferred  WINS  server.  WINS  Servers  store  information  re\bardin\b  network  hosts,  a\f\fowin\b 
hosts to ‘re\bister’ themse\fves as we\f\f as discover other avai\fab\fe hosts, e.\b. for use in Network Nei\bhborhood. This settin\b has 
no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from WAN’ is activated.
Sec\fndary 
WINS Server IP  address: Confi\bure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any. This settin\b has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information from 
WAN’ is activated.

IPv6
On this pa\be, the user can confi\bure the IPv6 Connection type. There are two ways to set up the IPv6 Internet connection. You can use the Web-
based IPv6 Internet Connection Setup Wizard, or you can manua\f\fy confi\bure the connection.
IPv6 Internet C\fnnecti\fn Setup Wizard
For  the  be\binner  user  that  have  not  confi\bured  a  router  before,  c\fick 
on the  IPv6 Internet C\fnnecti\fn Setup Wizard button and the router 
wi\f\f \buide you throu\bh a few simp\fe steps to \bet your network up and 
runnin\b. 
After c\fickin\b on the IPv6 Internet Connection Setup Wizard button, this 
pa\be wi\f\f appear.

This wizard wi\f\f \buide you throu\bh a step-by-step process to confi\bure 
your new D-Link router and connect to the IPv6 Internet.
C\fick  Next  to  continue  to  the  next  pa\be.  C\fick  Cancel  to  discard  the

Step 1: C\fnfigure Y\fur IPv6 Internet C\fnnecti\fn
The  router  wi\f\f  try  and  detect  whether  its  possib\fe  to  obtain  the  IPv6 
Internet  Connection  type  automatica\f\fy.  If  this  succeeds  then  the  user 
wi\f\f be \buided throu\bh the input of the appropriate parameters for the 
connection type found.
However,  if  the  automatic  detection  fai\fs,  the  user  wi\f\f  be  prompt  to 
either  Try again or to c\fick on the  Guide me thr\fugh the IPv6 settings 
button to initiate the manua\f continua\f of the wizard.

confi\bured  when  settin\b  up  an  Auto  Detection  (State\fess/DHCPv6) 
connection. This is a method of connection where the ISP assi\bns your 
IPv6 address when your router requests one from the ISP’s server. Some 
ISP’s require you to make some settin\bs on your side before your router 
can connect to the IPv6 Internet.
