Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The DIR-817LW Wireless AC750 Dual Band Cloud Router provides revolutionary 802.11ac wireless speed - up to 750Mbps - for flawless HD video streaming to multiple devices.
With mydlink™ Cloud Services, you can monitor your home network from anywhere, anytime, using your iPhone, iPad, and Android device(s). Monitor what websites are being visited, block access from unwanted devices, and receive automatic e-mail alerts when unauthorized connections are attempted.
With the mydlink SharePort™ app, you can wirelessly access your media that is stored on a connected USB drive from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ device. Best of all, you can get free apps for network management and file access.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac (draft), 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n 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 the attic or garage.
Before you Begin
•Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
•Users with DSL providers - If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password. If you do not have this information, contact your Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
•UserswithCableproviders - Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn it off for up to five minutes.
•Advanced Users - If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to“bridge”mode so the DIR-817LW can work properly. For details, contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.

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 2.4GHz 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 not in use.

6.After the router has powered up, verify that the power (green) and Internet (orange or green) LEDs are both lit. Skip to“Configuration”on page 13 to learn about your configuration options. If you initially choose not to connect to the Internet, later you can use the ”Internet Connection Setup Wizard”on page 32.

Section 2 - Installation
Connect to an Existing Router
Note: It is strongly recommended that you replace your existing router with the DIR-817LW instead of using both. If your modem is a combo router, you may want to contact your ISP or review the manufacturer’s user guide so you can put the router into Bridge mode, which will ‘turn off’ the router’s (NAT) functions.
If you are connecting the DIR-817LW router to an existing router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following to the DIR-817LW before connecting it to your network:
•Disable UPnP™
•Disable DHCP
•Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1.Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking Basics section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2.Open a web browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 (or http://dlinkrouter.local./) and press Enter. When the login window appears, set the user name to Admin and leave the password box empty. Click Log In to continue.
3.Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
4.Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.

Section 2 - Installation
5.Under Router Settings, enter an available IP Address and the Subnet Mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your settings. Use this new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.
6.Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7.Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router.
8.You may now use the other three LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Configuration and Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.

Configuration
There are several different ways you can configure your router to connect to the Internet and connect to your clients:
•QRS Mobile App - Use your iPhone, iPad, or Android device to configure your router. See ”QRS Mobile App” on page 21.
•D-Link Setup Wizard - This wizard will launch when you log into the router for the first time. Refer to“Quick Setup Wizard” on page 14.
•Manual Setup - Log into the router and manually configure your router (advanced users only). Refer to “Manual Internet Setup” on page 24.

Quick Setup Wizard
If this is your first time installing the router, launch your web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer), and you will automatically be directed to the D-Link Setup Wizard.
If you have already configured your settings and you would like to access the configuration utility, please refer to “Web-based Configuration Utility” on page 22.
If this is your first time logging into the router, and the wizard does not start automatically, enter http://192.168.0.1.
The wizard will guide you through a step-by-step process to configure your new D-Link router and connect to the Internet.
Click Next to continue.
Please wait while your router detects your internet connection type. If the router detects your Internet connection, you may need to enter your ISP information such as username and password. (See instructions on page 16 for PPPoE, PPTP and L2TP).
