Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
Introducing the COVR-C1213 Dual Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System, the seamless Wi-Fi solution that’s the perfect t for your
modern home. It features a high-performance Covr Point that blankets every square inch of your home with high-speed
AC1200 dual-band Wi-Fi as well as two on-board Gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connectivity. It even integrates voice
assistant compatibility for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control your network with voice commands. With
Covr, you enjoy Wi-Fi that’s stable, consistent, and truly seamless. With COVR-C1213, D-Link has got you Covr’d.
Powerful Wi-Fi - Most whole home Wi-Fi systems use multiple low-performance devices to disperse Wi-Fi throughout areas of
the home. COVR-C1213 uses AC1200 Wi-Fi to create a blazing-fast, seamless whole home network throughout your home, even
in the most hard-to-reach places.
Smart Roaming - The Dual Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System creates a single, seamless wireless network throughout your entire
home using a single wireless network name (SSID). This means that once you connect, your connection is maintained seamlessly
as you and your wireless device roam throughout your home, allowing you to experience an uninterrupted connection without
buering, drop-outs, or dead spots.
MU-MIMO Technology - Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) sends and receives data to and from multiple
devices simultaneously to increase speed and eciency. Your laptop, tablet, media player, and game console can all be sending
and receiving data at the same time, with no need to wait in line, allowing you to get more out of your home Wi-Fi network than
ever before.
Smart Steering - Behind the scenes, each Covr Point automatically determines whether to connect a device to the 2.4 or 5 GHz
band, providing the best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing devices to each network.
Expandable Network - Covr is a scalable solution; extra Covr Points can be added to increase the reach of your network. Scale
up your Wi-Fi by adding another Covr Point to get true whole-home coverage.
Easy Setup - Using the free D-Link Wi-Fi app or the intuitive web-based user interface, you can quickly set up the COVR-C1213
and congure your network with your specic settings in a matter of minutes.

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless
connectivity within your home, business, or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link
wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when, and where you want it. You will be able to
enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals
instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and oce environments, and public areas such as airports,
coee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people work, and communicate more
eciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial for many
users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop
systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to
use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A wireless router is a device used to provide
this link.
What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio
frequency to connect wirelessly so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or oce network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can aord. D-Link has all the products you need to build your
network.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similarly to how cordless phones work, through radio signals that transmit data from one point A to point B. But
wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area
to be able to connect your computer. There are two dierent types of wireless networks: Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point
has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access
point the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places
like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, university and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other
outdoor venues.
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30
feet away.
Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as
much power. This makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other
devices that operate on batteries.

Who uses wireless?
Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, oce,
business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.
Home uses/benets
• Gives everyone at home broadband access
• Surf the web, check email, instant message, etc.
• Gets rid of the cables around the house
• Simple and easy to use
Small oce and home oce uses/benets
• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at oce
• Remotely access your oce network from home
• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
• No need to dedicate oce space
Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or oce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public
places is usually called “hotspots”.
Using a D-Link USB adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote locations like:
airports, hotels, coee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.
That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.
86D-Link COVR-C1213 User Manual
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or access point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to
place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have a
two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access
point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.
Security
Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on
the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detail information on how to set it up.
