even integrates voice assistant compatibility for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control your network with voice commands.
Handle More with a High-Power Processor
With the DIR-3040, you’re not only enjoying buer-free gaming and lightning fast surng, you’re also enjoying features such as an integrated mesh
for a higher coverage network, an automatically optimizing QoS with a built-in speedtest, an automatic rmware update system that ensures the
best protection and the latest features, and compatibility with voice assistants. All this is possible with the router’s 880 Mhz dual-core high-power
processor, 128 MB of ash memory and 256 MB of RAM.
Extend and Customize Your High-speed Wireless AC Network
D-Link’s Wi-Fi Mesh is a scalable solution that allows you to easily increase the coverage of your home or oce wireless AC network. Expand your
Wi-Fi coverage by adding compatible D-Link access points. Mix and match suitable D-Link devices according to your budget and preferences to

points once the rst access point is congured.
Enhanced Quality of Service Features
The built-in Quality of Service (QoS) engine allows you to prioritize important trac to ensure that your favorite applications are receiving optimal
bandwidth. Also included as part of the QoS feature is the speedtest, which not only allows you to check the current upload and download speed
of your Internet connection, but also gives you the option of automatically conguring your router to optimize your trac according to speedtest
results.
Always Up-to-Date with the Latest Features
The DIR-3040 will automatically check daily for updates to make sure that the device always has the latest features and the most secure rmware,
and will install the update silently in the background. For an extra peace of mind, in the event of failure during the rmware update, the router will
store a backup system image in the memory before proceeding with the update.
Easy to Set Up and Manage
Sharing your Internet connection doesn’t have to be a complicated process; just download the free D-Link Wi-Fi app for your mobile device and
follow the on-screen step-by-step instructions to set up your DIR-3040. You also have the option to use a web browser to access the setup wizard
and to manage your router. Support for industry-standard Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) lets you create encrypted connections to new devices by

Installation
This section will walk you through the installation of your DIR-3040.
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.

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 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.

example, if one client is streaming a movie and another is downloading a
non-urgent le, you might wish to assign the former device a higher priority
than the latter so that the movie streaming is not disrupted by the trac of
the other devices on the network.
Under Connected Clients, you will see device cards representing each

A maximum of one device can be assigned Highest priority.

If no devices are explicitly assigned a priority, they will all be treated with
equal priority. If some devices are not assigned a priority and others are, the

To assign a priority level to a device, drag the device card from the All
