Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

ULTIMATEPERFORMANCE

The D-Link Wireless N600 VPN Router (DIR-840) is a 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 14x faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100 Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, video, printers, and network storage throughout your home. Connect the DIR-840 router to a cable or DSL modem and share your high-speed Internet access with everyone on the network. In addition, this router includes a Quality of Service (QoS) engine that keeps digital phone calls (VoIP) and online gaming smooth and responsive, providing a better Internet experience.

EXTENDED WIRELESSCOVERAGE

Powered by Wireless N technology, this high performance router provides superior home coverage throughout your home while reducing dead spots. The router is designed for use in bigger homes and for users who demand higher performance networking. Add a Wireless N notebook or desktop adapter and stay connected to your network from virtually anywhere in your home.

TOTALNETWORKSECURITY

The Wireless N router supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access from over the wireless network or the Internet. Support for WPA/WPA2 standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method, regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 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 1 - Product Overview

Features

Faster Wireless Networking- The DIR-840 provides up to 300 Mbps* wireless connection with other 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 802.11n wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds 14x faster than 802.11g.

Compatible with 802.11b/g/n Devices- The DIR-840 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n PCI, USB, and CardBus adapters.

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

Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions- The DIR-840 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-840 can securely access corporate networks.

User-friendly SetupWizard -Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-840 lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.

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, a 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.

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.

Wall-Mount Kit Installation

The wall-mount kit includes the following items:

-Two 2 cm screws

-Two screw anchors

-One attachment plate

Step 1. Align the attachment plate to your preferred position, and mark the hole positions on the wall, preferably after locating studs in the wall.

Step 2. Where studs cannot be found, make holes in the wall and insert the provided screw anchors. Check that the screw anchors are securely in place.

Step 3. Securely screw down the attachment plate on the wall.
