D-Link DSL-G664T Wireless ADSL Router
Before You Begin
- If you purchased this Router to share your high-speed Internet connection with other computers, you must have an established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- It’s best to use the same computer that is connected to your router for configuring the DSL-G604T Wireless ADSL Router. The DSL-G604T acts as a DHCP server and will assign all the necessary IP address information on your network. See at the Quick Installation Guide or the Manual on the CD-ROM for setting each network adapter to automatically obtain an IP address.

Web Configuration Utility
The Home/Login page appears.
The Home screen appears. Click on the Setup tab to bring up the Setup menu.
Click the Connection 1 button to go to the configuration menu to make the Internet connection.
Configuring the WAN Connection
In the Connection 1 window, type the Username and Password used to verif y the identity of your ISP account. Click the Apply button when you have entered the information.
Configure Connection 1 for PPPoE
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a network
connection/session between networked devices. It may be worthwhile for the
user to change the default name of Connection 1 to something that states what
connection type is being used, for example, WAN_PPPoA, the name used in the
example below. Notice the VPI and VCI values are included in the name. It is
not functionally necessary to change the name of the connection, this is done
merely to provide descriptive reference.
To configure Connection 1 for PPPoE, follow the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.
- Click the Connection 1 button under WAN Setup to view the default PPPoA Connection Setup configuration menu.
- Select PPPoE from the Type: pull-down menu. The menu will blink momentarily
- Type in a Name: for the connection or use the default name in the space provided (WAN_PPPoA used in the above example).
- Under Options, enable NAT and/or Firewall by selecting the corresponding selection box.
- If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to use the default settings.
- Leave the default QoS values if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
- Do not change the PCR or SCR values unless you are required to do so. If you are told to change these, type in the values given to you by your service provider.
- Type the Username and Password used to verify the identity of your account. Typically, the Username is an account number assigned by your ISP and appears in the form account#@ serviceprovider.com, while the Password may have been chosen by the account holder. For most users, the remaining settings will not need to be changed. See your ISP for further information.
- Click the Apply button when you have entered all the information. The web browser will briefly go blank. You are now finished changing setting for the primary WAN connection known as Connection 1. It is now necessary to save the changes you just made and restart the Router.
- To save the changes made to Connection 1, click the Tools tab and then click on the System Commands button. Click on the Save All button to store the configuration settings. Click on Back button to return to the System Commands menu.
Check the WAN connection status. Click the Status tab and then the Connection Status button. Look under WAN to view the State of Connection 1, it should read Connected. If the WAN connection state does not appear to Connected after a few minutes, go back to the Connection 1 Setup menu, check the settings and make sure they are correct.
Configure Connection 1 for PPPoA
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a network
connection/session between networked devices. Different forms of PPP include
PPPoA and PPPoE (discussed below) involve an authentication process that
requires a username and password to gain access to the network. PPPoA (PPP
over ATM) as described in RFC 2364, is a method of using PPP on an ATM
network. ATM is used for many types of telecommunications services including
ADSL. To configure the WAN connection for PPPoA, perform the steps listed
below. Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the
device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.
To configure the default connection type (PPPoA) for Connection 1, follow the steps listed below. To change the connection type of Connection 1 to an alternative type follow the instructions according to the desired type as described below in Change the Connection Type.
-
Click the Connection 1 button under WAN Setup to view the PPPoA Connection Setup menu pictured in the example above.
-
Type in a Name (WAN_PPPoA has been entered here) for the connection or use the default name in the space provided.
-
Under Options, enable NAT and/or Firewall by selecting the corresponding selection box.
-
If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to use the default settings.
-
Leave the default QoS values if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
-
Do not change the PCR or SCR values unless you are required to do so. If you are told to change these, type in the values given to you by your service provider.
-
Type the Username and Password used to verify the identity of your account. Typically, the Username is an account number assigned by your ISP and appears in the form
account#@ serviceprovider.com, while the Password may have been chosen by the account holder. For most users, the remaining settings will not need to be changed. See your ISP for further information. -
Click the Apply button when you have entered all the information. The web browser will briefly go blank. You are now finished changing setting for the primary WAN connection known as Connection 1. It is now necessary to save the changes you just made and restart the Router.

To save the changes made to Connection 1, click the Tools tab and then click on the System Commands button. Click on the Save All button to store the configuration settings. Click on Back button to return to the System Commands menu.
-
Check the WAN connection status. Click the Status tab and then the Connection Status button. Look under WAN to view the State of Connection 1, it should read Connected. If the WAN connection state does not appear to be Connected after a few minutes, go back to the Connection 1 Setup menu, check the settings and make sure they are correct.
Change the Connection Type
The default connection protocol used for the Router is Point-to-Point Protocol
over ATM (PPPoA). The menu used to configure a PPPoA connection is the first
menu to appear when you click on the Connection 1 button in the Setup menu.
The alternative connection types supported by the Router are the PPPoE (PPP
over Ethernet), CLIP (Classical IP over ATM or IPoA), DHCP (for WAN), Static
(IP for WAN), and Bridge connection types. There are two ways you may
configure the WAN connection to use these alternative types. You can create a
New Connection using the alternative connection type or you may configure the
Connection 1 settings to use the connection type of choice.
Wireless Configuration
Now, click on the Wireless button. This window will appear.
For first-time setup, accept the default settings for SSID and Channel, and
bypass security by clicking None. These settings may be changed later by
following the instructions as given in the User’s Guide.
Important Note: This Quick Installation Guide is designed to allow a
first-time user to install and operate the Router easily, in order to ensure
that everything is in working order. For more advanced configuration settings,
particularly to do with security parameters, please consult the User’s Guide
that accompanies the Router.
