that your ISP has given you an IP address that you will use to connect to the Internet through their service. If you select Static IP, you will need to enter the correct values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway in the fields provided.

Select PPPoE if your ISP uses the Point-to-Point over Ethernet protocol to authenticate a username and password and then automatically assign you an IP Address. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a non-standard method of connecting to your ISP to obtain an IP address. It relies upon a software client that is provided by the ISP. If you have a broadband connection and login to your ISP like you would do with a dial-in modem, then you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. The safest way to check is to call your ISP or read the documentation provided when you signed up for your Internet service. If you select PPPoE, you will need to enter the correct values for your User Name and Password in the fields provided.

The DNS section needs to be set to the correct option in order for the DI-804 to resolve domain name information in URL’s.

Select Dynamic DNS if your ISP provides the DNS information much in the same way as you receive an IP Address.

Select Static DNS if you were given the DNS server information when you signed with your ISP.

Click on the Save & Restart button to save your settings.

The firewall features Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI), making it difficult for intruders to penetrate the network. Additionally, the router supports Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through, allowing users to securely connect to remote networks, which is particularly beneficial for remote workers or businesses that require secure communications.

For users looking to create a wireless network, the DI-804 offers optional wireless capabilities through a separate wireless access point. This allows for the extension of the network to include wireless devices, providing flexibility in connectivity options.

In terms of connectivity, the D-Link DI-804 is equipped with four 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN ports, facilitating wired connections for devices such as computers, printers, and gaming consoles. The router supports auto-MDI/MDI-X, which automatically detects and configures the connection type, simplifying the setup process.

The D-Link DI-804 also features user-friendly management tools, making it easy for users to configure and monitor their network. An intuitive web-based interface provides access to various settings and statistics, allowing for straightforward customization according to individual preferences.

Overall, the D-Link DI-804 is a feature-rich router that balances performance, security, and ease of use. Its blend of advanced technologies and essential features makes it an ideal choice for users seeking a reliable networking solution, whether for home use or in a small office environment.
