DI-724U User's Manual Using the Configuration Menu Reboot: Discard PING from WAN Side: Firewall Rule: UPNP Settings: Gaming Mode: VPN Passthrough: WAN select to 10/100 Mbps: Log Email Settings: Clicking the Reboot button will restart the router. This is useful for restarting when you are not near the router. If you enable this option, you are causing the router not to respond to ping commands to the public WAN IP address of the router. Pinging public WAN IP addresses is a common method used by hackers to test whether your WAN IP address is valid. Select a firewall rule that controls access as needed for ping commands. If you do not see the firewall rule you need in the list of firewall rules, go to the Advanced -> Firewalls page and create a new firewall rule. UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This router has optional UPnP capability, and can work with other UPnP devices and software. If you do need to use the UPnP functionality, you can enable it here. If you are experiencing difficulties when playing online games or even certain applications that use voice data, you may need to enable Gaming Mode for these applications to work correctly. When not playing games or using these voice applications, it is recommended that Gaming Mode be disabled. The router supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Level-2 Tunneling Protocol), and IPSec (IP Security). Select the VPN protocol you want to enable. Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through the router. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the LAN. Normally, this is set to "auto". If you have trouble connecting to the WAN, try the other settings. The Email feature can be used to send the system log files to a designated email address. D-Link Systems, Inc. 44
