Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

The D-Link Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Router (DIR-860L) comes equipped with four Gigabit ports to provide speeds up to 10x faster than standard 10/100 ports. It also uses 802.11ac (draft) technology with multiple intelligent antennas to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal and signicantly outperform 802.11n devices. With the addition of Intelligent Quality of Service (QoS), data streams are separated, helping to organize and prioritize your network trac so that your video streaming, gaming, and VoIP calls run smoother over both your wired and wireless network.

The DIR-860L supports a host of cloud features including QRS Mobile, which allows you to set up and congure the router using a mobile app. You can set up your router right from your sofa, without requring a computer.

The Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Router is also mydlink-enabled, which gives you access to your home network no matter where you are. Now you can monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ device. mydlink-enabled routers can be congured to send an email to keep you informed anywhere, anytime when new devices are connecting to your network or unwanted access is detected. Monitor in real-time websites that are being visited with recent browser history displayed on the mydlink™ Lite app – great for parents.

SharePort Mobile technology lets you take advantage of the USB 3.0 port found on the back of your DIR-860L. Plug in a USB storage drive and you can use the SharePort Mobile app for iOS and Android to access les, stream videos, view photos, or listen to music on your laptop or mobile devices. Plug in a printer and you can use the SharePort Mobile Plus app to share that printer with all of your devices.

The DIR-860L Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Gigabit Router provides incredible speeds, smart antenna technology, fast ports, cloud features, and terric security features. It also features an innovative design and easy installation options.

3D-Link DIR-860L User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-860L can provide up to a full 1750 Mbps* wireless connection with concurrent 801.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients . It also operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, to allow separation of trac so users can participate in high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio, without aecting low-priority trac like email and web surng.

• Cloud Features - The DIR-860L support the QRS Mobile app to setup the router using a mobile device. It is also mydlink-enabled so you can remotely access and mange your DIR-860L from a mobile device. SharePort Mobile can be used to share les, stream videos, view photos, and play music. SharePort Plus lets you share a printer.

• Compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n Devices - The DIR-860L is still fully compatible with the 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g and 802.11a standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a wireless devices.

• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features including:

Features

• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.

• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.

• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-860L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-860L can securely access corporate networks.

• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-860L lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and draft 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 2 - Installation

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet or cabinet, or in an attic or garage.

Before you Begin

• Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.

• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using a USB connection before using the router, then you must turn o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

Section 2 - Installation

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum -

each wall or ceiling can reduce your device’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree

angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it appears over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid `metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range.

Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet/1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF

noise.

5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security

systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is in not in use.

SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet ltering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking the state of each session. It validates that the trac passing through the session conforms to the protocol.

Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of “spoong” attacks.

If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer.

Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort.

Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the Setup > Network Settings page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol.

IPSEC (VPN):

This Application-level Gateway (ALG) may interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network, try turning this ALG o.
