VPN How can I VPN my DI-804V router to another DI-804V at another location?

- Make sure you have an updated firmware on your router and after wards kindly visit this site for further instructions:
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=1384&question=DI-804HV%20/%20DI-804V%20/%20DI-808HV

First set up an static IP address on your computer with a range 192.168.3.x, once you connect to the DI go to >> LAN Settings and change there the DI IP to be in your range of 192.168.2.x.

If you use win XP here is a link how to set up a static IP with your computer:

This router has built is VPN software that allows VPN from anywhere in the world. There would be no need for a software based VPN

The D Link DI 804HV is a standalone router/vpn it can work with any OS (Windows xp, vista, me, linux, mac...)

There are two ways to reset the unit back to the factory default settings. Through the web-based interface: Step 1: Log into the web based configuration by typing in the IP address of the router (default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank (nothing). Step 2: Click on the System Tools tab and go to the Load Default Settings tab on the left. Step 3: Click on the Start button to proceed. This will now load the unit back to factory settings. Note: The Device IP Address will be reset to 192.168.0.1 after loading the default settings. Perform a hard reset: Step 1: Power the unit off by unplugging its power adapter (from the unit, not the wall). Step 2: Insert a paper clip into the reset pinhole. Press and hold the reset button with light pressure. Step 3: Power the device back on by plugging it in. Continue to hold the reset button. Step 4: Watch the lights on the front of the gateway. The status light and wireless light will power off. Once both lights are powered off release the reset button. Step 5: The unit will reboot and now will be reset to default settings.

To upgrade the firmware on a DI-804V follow the steps below: Step 1: Download firmware from our support site. Save and unzip it to your desktop. Download Firmware here. Step 2: Access the configuration page by entering 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. Step 3: Click on the System Tools tab and then click Upgrade Firmware on the left side. Step 4: Click the Browse button and locate the firmware file that you have downloaded and unzipped. Highlight this file, click Open, and then click Start. Note: When upgrading the firmware, do not try to access the Internet and do not turn the power off. Doing so may cause the firmware upgrade process to abort, which will damage router.

To forward a specific application port please follow the steps below: Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1). Step 2: Click on the Advanced Settings tab and then select Virtual Server from the left side. Step 3: Enter the last three digits of your IP address on the field provided and then enter the range of ports that would like to allow in. If you would only like one port to be opened, then enter the same number in each box. Step 4: Click Submit and then Save and Restart when prompted.

Step 1: Log into the web based configuration of the router by typing in the IP address of the router (default: 192.168.0.1) in your web browser. By default the username is admin and there is no password. Step 2: Click the VPN button on the left column, select the checkbox to Enable the VPN, and then in the box next to Max. number of tunnels, enter the maximum numbers of VPN tunnels that you would like to have connected. Step 3: In the space provided, enter the Tunnel Name for ID number 1, select IKE, and then click More. Step 4: In the Local Subnet and Local Netmask fields enter the network identifier for DI-804HV´s LAN and the corresponding subnet mask. Step 5: In the Remote Subnet and Remote Netmask fields enter the network identifier for the DI-804V´s LAN and the corresponding subnet mask. Step 6: In the Remote Gateway field enter the WAN IP address of the remote DI-804V and in the Preshared Key field, enter a key which must be exactly the same as the Preshared Key that is configured on the DI-804V. Step 7: Click Apply and then click on Select IKE Proposal... Step 8: Enter a name for proposal ID number 1 and select Group 2 from the DH Group drop-down menu. Step 9: Select 3DES as the Encryption Algorithm and SHA-1 as the Authentication Algorithm. Step 10: Enter a Lifetime value of 28800 and then select Sec. as the unit for the lifetime value. Step 11: Select 1 out of the Proposal ID drop-down menu and click Add To, which will add the proposal that was just configured to the IKE Proposal Index. Click Apply and then click Back. Step 12: Click on Select IPSec Proposal... Step 13: Enter a name for proposal ID number 1 and select None from the DH Group drop-down menu. Step 14: Select ESP as the Encapsulation Protocol. Step 15: Select 3DES as the Encryption Algorithm and MD5 as the Authentication Algorithm. Step 16: Enter a Lifetime value of 3600 and then select Sec. as the unit for the lifetime value. Step 17: Select 1 out of the Proposal ID dropdown menu and click Add To, which will add the proposal that was just configured to the IPSec Proposal Index. Click Apply and then click Restart. Configuring the DI-804V: Step 1: Access the router?s web configuration by entering the router?s IP address in your web browser. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. Login using your password. The default username is admin and the password is blank. Help Accessing Web Management Step 2: Click on Basic Setup and then select Device IP Settings on the left. Step 3: Change the LAN IP address so that it is on a different subnet than the LAN of the DI-804HV (ie 192.168.1.1). Step 4: Click Next until you reach the Save & Restart screen. Click Save & Restart and then click Basic Setup once the unit has rebooted. Step 3: Click on VPN Settings. Step 4: Name your VPN connection and click ADD. Step 5: In Remote IP Network and Remote IP Netmask fields enter the network identifier and corresponding subnet mask of the DI-804HV´s LAN. Step 6: In the Remote Gateway IP field enter the WAN IP address of the DI-804HV and make sure that the Network Interface is set to WAN Ethernet. Step 7: Verify that Secure Association is set to IKE and that Perfect Forward Secure is Disabled. Step 8: Verify the Encryption Protocol is set to 3DES and enter in your Preshared Key. The Preshared Key needs to be identical to the one configured on the DI-804HV Step 9: Leave the Key Life and IKE Life Time values at their default levels and click SAVE. Step 10: Click Next and then click on Save & Restart Establishing a connection: Step 1: Open a command prompt (Start > Run and type CMD) and from a computer on the internal LAN of the DI-804HV, ping the IP address of a computer that is on the internal LAN of the DI-804V, or vice versa. Step 2: Once you begin to receive replies, the VPN connection has been established. Step 3: To view the Status of the VPN on the DI-804V, click on Device Status. Step 4: From the Device Status screen click on VPN Status. Step 5: When the VPN has been established, the Status will be Active.
