Quick Installation Guide Note: Using a power supply with a different voltage rating than the one included with the DI-808HV will cause damage and void the warranty for this product. If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller.
Introduction The D-Link DI-808HV is a 8-port Broadband Router with Virtual Private Network (VPN) functionality. It provides a complete solution for Internet and office resource sharing, and secure access to remote corporate networks. It is an ideal way to extend the number and reach of computers connected to your network.

Unwanted packets from outside intruders can be blocked to protect your network DHCP server supported All of the networked computers can retrieve TCP/IP settings automatically from the DI-808HV Web-based configuration Configurable through any networked computer’s web browser using Netscape or Internet Explorer...
You can define the attributes, for instance opening special ports to allow packets to come through, to support special applications requiring multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. The DI-808HV can sense the application type and open a multi- port tunnel for it. DMZ Host supported Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet;...
Introduction to Firewalls A firewall is a device that sits between your computer and the Internet that prevents unauthorized access to or from your network. A firewall can be a computer using firewall software or a special piece of hardware built specifically to act as a firewall. In most circumstances, a firewall is used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks or corporate LANs and Intranets.
Introduction to Virtual Private Networking Virtual Private Networking (VPN) uses a publicly wired network (the Internet) to se- curely connect two different networks through a secure “data tunnel.” For example, an employee can access a corporate network from home using VPN, allowing the em- ployee to access files, databases, and other networked resources.
