Cabling

The most common problem associated with Ethernet is bad cabling. Make sure that all conected devices are turned on. On the top of the of the DI-701 is a bank of LEDs, as a first check verify that the Local Link and Internet Link LEDs are lit and green. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

The DI-701’s ports are wired just like a Network Adapter’s port. From the DI-701 directly to a PC, the cable should be an Ethernet crossover cable. From the DI-701 to a hub or switch, the cable should be an Ethernet straight through cable to a normal hub/switch port, or an Ethernet crossover cable to an uplink port. For the DI-701 to a cable/DSL modem, it is most common to use a crossover, and it is recommended that you use the same cable as supplied by your modem maker.

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)

Some ISP’s use PPPoE to provide an IP address for each client. For a direct connection that requires the IP address through a PPPoE login, the DI-701 is unable to receive an IP address and can therefore not work. What this means is simple, if you use a PPPoE connection to connect to your ISP directly though your Cable/DSL modem, the DI-701 is unable to be set with the PPPoE login and will therefore not work. In a PPPoE environment your provider should be able to set up multiple logins if you have multiple computers and wish to share the connection. Hardware based Firewall protection is something you will simply have to do without.

“I can't Find the DI-701 using the DI-701 Setup Software”

For the DI-701 Setup Software to find the DI-701, it has to be accessed from a client. This means that the computer you are trying to use to run the software must be setup as in Step 6. Additionally the computer should have been restarted to ensure that it is receiving its IP address from the DI-701.

To verify that your computer is setup properly, use the "winipcfg" utility in Windows. To run this go to Start-->Run... and type "winipcfg" in the Run box. Press the "More Info"

DI-701 specifications

The D-Link DI-701 is a well-regarded ADSL router that has made a significant impact on home and small office networking. Introduced in the early 2000s, this device was designed to cater to the growing demand for high-speed internet access through DSL connections. Its reliability and performance have made it a favored choice among users looking for stable internet service.

One of the standout features of the DI-701 is its ability to support multiple users via its built-in 4-port Ethernet switch. This allows several devices to connect to the internet simultaneously, making it ideal for households with multiple users or small businesses requiring a shared internet connection. With its plug-and-play setup, users are able to get online with minimal configuration, simplifying the installation process significantly.

The DI-701 operates on a robust ADSL technology, which enables it to deliver high-speed internet, significantly faster than traditional dial-up connections. With ADSL, users can enjoy simultaneous voice and data transmission, allowing them to use the phone while browsing the web without interruption. The device supports ADSL standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of service providers.

Security is another key consideration in networking, and the D-Link DI-701 incorporates several essential security features. It offers Network Address Translation (NAT), which helps to hide internal IP addresses from the external network, thus providing an added layer of security. Additionally, it supports Firewall features that protect against unauthorized access, ensuring that the network remains safe and secure.

The device also comes with a user-friendly web-based interface, enabling users to manage and configure their network easily. From this interface, users can monitor network activity, set up parental controls, and manage bandwidth allocation for connected devices.

Moreover, the DI-701 supports Quality of Service (QoS) features, which prioritize bandwidth for different applications. This is particularly useful for users who stream video content or engage in online gaming, as it ensures a smoother and more responsive experience.

In conclusion, the D-Link DI-701 ADSL router stands out for its reliability, ease of use, and solid performance. With support for multiple connections, robust security features, and user-friendly management options, it remains a viable choice for users seeking to enhance their internet experience in home or small office environments.
