Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

The D-Link DIR-809 is a IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to three times faster speeds than 802.11n while staying backward compatible with 802.11a/g/b devices. Connect the DIR-809 to a Cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by the 802.11ac technology this router provides wireless coverage for homes and offices, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications.

With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams.

The DIR-809 supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a wireless network or the Internet. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™ standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet so you and your family can browser the Internet with peace-of-mind.

Section 1 - Product Overview

Features

•Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-809 provides up to 300 Mbps wireless bandwidth in the 2.4 GHz band and up to 433 Mbps wireless bandwidth in the 5 GHz band with other 802.11ac and draft 802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11ac wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds 3x faster than 802.11n.

•Compatible with 802.11a/g/n Devices - The DIR-809 is compatible with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n wireless standards, so it can connect with existing networking devices as well as PCI, USB, and CardBus network adapters.

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

•Content Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC address or URL.

•Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-809 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-809 can securely access corporate networks.

•User-friendly Easy Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-809 lets you quickly and easily configure your router, letting you surf the Internet within minutes.

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and draft 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect 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, cabinet, or in an attic or garage.

Before you Begin

•Please configure 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 the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off 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 asWinPoet, 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 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 (.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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect 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 (fish tanks), mirrors, file 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 in not in use.
