D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router: Web-Based UI, Setup - Techgage

D-Link DGL-4500 Xtreme N Gaming Router

D-Links DGL-4500 wireless router brings a lot to the table, including dual-band operation, 802.11n support, a killer built-in OLED screen, on top of features perfectly suited for online gamers. Of course, such a feature-packed router doesnt come cheap, so is it worth your hard-earned $180?

As with any router available today... come to think of it, any network based product, the true functionality of usefulness of the router can be found in its user interface. Featuring a similar set of features as that of the 655 and TRENDnet TEW-633GR, the D-Link DGL-4500 offers everything the other two mentioned routers provide and adds a little bit more. The most notable of these extra features are oriented to the gaming community with an example being gamefuel.

Starting out, the 4500 has a default password of, well, nothing. The username is admin and can be selected from a drop down box. Leaving the password field blank will allow you past the login screen and into the main area of the routers user interface. It is highly recommended that you change your password as soon as possible, especially if you live in a highly populated area such as an apartment complex or a housing addition as a default password is easy to guess and allows unwanted guests into your routers configuration.

The first screen we get to allows us to setup our network with the help of the built in wizard or manual if you prefer that route. This screen is found under the Basic tab and also includes wireless and wired network information.

By clicking on wireless in the left hand column, we are given the option to name our SSID, enable wireless, select our wireless band as well as select which protocol we wish to use. One limitation of the DGL-4500 is the lack of interoperability of devices connected on different frequency bands meaning a notebook connected to the router on the 5 GHz band cannot see another device connected via the standard 2.4 GHz band. This is clearly a limitation of the 4500 but one that shouldnt affect many users as dual band adapters arent as prevalent as one would like. D-Link addresses this issue with their the DIR-855 which allows devices on both bands to communicate seamlessly.

Under the advanced tab we see a whole slew of options ranging from gaming options, routing paths and firewall settings. This is the section for advanced users who will find that the options available on the 4500 are more than enough for the average user. For those who like to host their own FTP, a virtual server rule can be setup allowing the hosting of such services.

Opening ports has been a huge part of network and online gaming since home routers first took the stage many years ago. While gamers use these features today, there are other applications that could need a port opened that gamers might not use on a daily basis. To address these users, D-Link has included pre-set apps with their respective settings. All that needs to be done to setup the router to allow these programs to move traffic in and out of the network is to select it from the drop down box. You can setup your own if your application isnt listed in the box as well.

For you gamers out there, there is a similar page that allows the same settings to be applied for games. As with the special applications page, all that is needed by the user is to drop down the box and select their game of choice. Sadly, the list seems a bit dated (very dated) but undoubtedly D-Link can add to this list with future firmware upgrades.
