Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DIR-1960 AC1900 Mesh-Enabled Smart Wi-Fi Router shares your Internet connection over a blazing-fast Gigabit
1
Wireless AC connection of up to 1900 Mbps (Up to 1300 Mbps 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 600 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wireless N)
using advanced AC beamforming technology to signicantly outperform 802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. Equipped with
one Gigabit WAN/Internet port and four Gigabit LAN ports to provide wired speeds of up to 10 times faster than standard
10/100 ports, the DIR-1960 creates the best networking experience to date.
Featuring four antennas and a 3 x 3 Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) antenna conguration, the DIR-1960 oers better
data rates, fewer dead-spots, more coverage, and higher reliability. Operating exclusively in the 5 GHz band, the DIR-1960's
802.11ac wireless connections avoid the crowded 2.4 GHz band, allowing you faster speeds while still maintaining backwards
compatibility with older 802.11n/g/b devices. The DIR-1960 prepares your home to become a Connected Home by bringing
Wi-Fi to places your old signal can’t reach. A stronger Wi-Fi signal means you can install more wireless surveillance cameras,
baby monitors, sensors, and alarms in the places where you need them.
The DIR-1960's Smart Connect Technology makes connecting to wireless networks easy by eliminating the confusion of
multiple networks. Ever since the introduction of 5 GHz multi-band wireless technology, users have had to guess whether
the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band network would provide them with better range and speed. Smart Connect simplies this by only
presenting a single wireless network for you to connect to. Behind the scenes, when a connection is initiated, the DIR-1960's
advanced algorithms determine the best band for your device to connect to, automatically distributing devices to the optimal
band, thereby ensuring a faster, more reliable, and hassle-free experience for all of your users and devices.
,
This router is equipped with D-Link's Quick VPN technology. Using Quick VPN allows you to securely connect your computer
or mobile device to places with free, untrusted Wi-Fi hotspots by encrypting and relaying your connection through your home
Internet connection. This extra 'hop' reduces the chances of hackers stealing your information, such as logins, passwords, and
credit card numbers. When traveling, Quick VPN lets you watch sports and use video streaming services without experiencing
blackouts or ltering. You can surf the whole Internet unltered and unblocked, just as you would at home.

Installation
This section will walk you through the installation of the DIR-1960.
Before you Begin
• Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet,
attic, or garage.
• Congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your Internet connection. Verify that it
is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.
• If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so the router can
work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.
• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the 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 Internet Service
Provider (ISP) to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).
• If connecting to a DSL modem, make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service
Provider handy. This information is likely to include your DSL account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also
supply you with additional WAN conguration settings which might be necessary to establish a connection.
• If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to
label each cable or take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes.
• 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.

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 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 adapter’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 (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks 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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz 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 2.4
GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the
phone is not in use.
