The D-Link DI-604 4-Port Broadband Router does support the Windows Home Server automatic router configuration over UPnP standards. However, for best results we recommend to manually configure Port Forwarding to your Windows Home Server.

Open your web browser and enter your router's URL. By default, this is "http://192.168.0.1". Most D-Link devices use the 192.168.0.x range. If you have configured the login information, log in with your username and password. If not, the default username is "admin" and password is blank.
Click on the “Tools” tab and proceed to the “Misc.” page. Ensure the “Enable UPnP” option is checked and press “Apply” at the bottom of the page.
a) Click on the “Home” tab and proceed to the “DHCP" page. Locate your Windows Home Server's MAC address in the DHCP Client drop down list and then click the "Clone" button.
b) The “Add DHCP Reservation” section will pre-populate with the current IP Address and your Windows Home Server MAC Address. Make a note of the specified IP Address information and click the “Apply” button.
c) Verify that your Windows Home Server is listed in the Static DHCP Client List.
Click on the “Advanced” tab and proceed to the “Virtual Server” page.
You need to enable forwarding for 3 different ports: HTTP (80), HTTPS (443), RWW (4125). Each of these will need its own row on the Virtual Server List. Some of them may already have rows and may/may not be enabled. For all of these, the "IP Address" should be the IP address you gave to the Windows Home Server in step 3.
a) Click on the edit button (blue arrow), this will auto-populate the information for port 80, and then enter the Private IP from STEP 3 in the text box (red arrow). Then click "Apply"(red arrow).
b) Click on the edit button (blue arrow), this will auto-populate the information for port 443, and then enter the Private IP from STEP 3 in the text box (red arrow). Then click "Apply"(red arrow).
c) The final port will need to be manually entered as follows:
Enabled (radio button)Name: "WHS 4125"Private IP: 4125Public IP: 4125Schedule: Always(radio button)
Then click "Apply".
d) Verify that all of the entries have a check mark by them in the "Virtual Servers List"
The D-Link router allows you to set the reconnection mode when using PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
When using PPPoE you must ensure that the Reconnect Mode is set to: “Always On”.
Congratulations! After you configured your D-Link DI-604 4-Port Broadband Router for Remote Access you should test the remote connectivity from within your home and from outside of your home.
