Step 1 Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DI-624M in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.1). Press Enter.

Step 2 The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3 Click the Home tab at the top and then click Wireless on the left side.



Step 4 Configure the following:

  • Wireless Radio - Select On to enable the wireless interface or Off to disable it
  • SSID - Enter the SSID.

    The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the workgroup name of your Wireless Network. All devices (access points, wireless routers, and wireless adapters) must have the same SSID to communicate on the Wireless Network. The SSID can be up to 32 numbers, letters, spaces, and dashes. Also, the SSID is case-sensitive.
  • Channel - Select the wireless channel
  • Super G Mode - Select Disabled to disable Super G or select one of the three Super G modes.

    What are the 3 modes available when enabling Super G™ and Super A/G™?
  • SSID Broadcast - Select Enabled to enable SSID broadcast or Disabled to disable it.

    In a home network, the SSID broadcast feature serves no useful purpose. You should disable this feature to improve the security of your wireless network. You will need to manually configure your wireless clients with the same SSID as your access point or wireless router.
  • Authentication - Select Open System (communicate across the network with all clients) or WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access without a RADIUS server).

    Open System
  • WEP - Select Enabled to enable WEP encryption or Disabled to disable it.
  • WEP Encryption - Select 64Bit or 128Bit using the drop-down list.
    • 64-bit encryption 10 characters
    • 128-bit encryption 26 characters
  • Key Type - Select Hexadecimal or ASCII using the drop-down list if the wireless network requires encryption.
    • Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. Best used if using with other brands of wireless products.
    • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is code that represents English letters as numbers from 0-127. You can use any character including (!@#$%*).
  • Keys 1-4 - Select the key number using the radio buttons.

    WPA-PSK

  • Passphrase - Enter the passphrase
  • Confirmed Passphrase - Confirm the passphrase

The passphrase is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. Make sure you enter this key exactly the same on all other wireless clients.

Step 5 Click Apply to save the settings.
