Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-860L can provide up to a full 1750 Mbps* wireless connection with
concurrent 801.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients . It also operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, to
allow separation of trac so users can participate in high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming, online
gaming, and real-time audio, without aecting low-priority trac like email and web surng.
• Cloud Features - The DIR-860L support the QRS Mobile app to setup the router using a mobile device. It is also
mydlink-enabled so you can remotely access and mange your DIR-860L from a mobile device. SharePort Mobile
can be used to share les, stream videos, view photos, and play music. SharePort Plus lets you share a printer.
• Compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n Devices - The DIR-860L is still fully compatible with the 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g
and 802.11a standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a wireless devices.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
Features
• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain
Name.
• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of
hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-860L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-860L can securely access
corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-860L lets you control
what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s
server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and draft 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput rate.
Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

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 or cabinet, or in an attic or garage.
Before you Begin
• Please congure 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 a 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 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 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, 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 device’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 appears 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/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 in not
in use.

Wireless Security
By default the wireless security of this router will be disabled. In this option the user can enable or disable wireless security
for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. There are two types of encryption that can be used: WEP or WPA/WPA2.
Wireless Security Mode: WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption that
can be used for wireless networks. WEP is considered to be a relatively
weak security method, however it provides more protection than an
unsecured network. Older wireless adapters may only support WEP encryption. It is recommended that this method is used only if your wireless clients do not support WPA.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
WEP Key Length: Here the user can specify to either use a 64-Bit or a
128-Bit encrypted key.
Authentication: Authentication is a process by which the router veries
the identity of a network device that is attempting
to join the wireless network. There are two types
authentication for this device when using WEP. Open
System allows all wireless devices to communicate
with the router before they are required to provide the
encryption key needed to gain access to the network.
Shared Key requires any wireless device attempting
to communicate with the router to provide the
encryption key needed to access the network before
they are allowed to communicate with the router.
WEP Key 1: Enter the WEP key used here. For 64-bit keys you must enter 10 hex digits into each key box. For 128-bit keys you
must enter 26 hex digits into each key box. A hex digit is either a number from 0 to 9 or a letter from A to F. You
may also enter any text string into a WEP key box, in which case it will be converted into a hexadecimal key using
the ASCII values of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64-bit keys, and a maximum
of 13 characters for 128-bit keys.
42D-Link DIR-860L User Manual
Page 47
Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced wireless encryption
method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option.
WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a passphrase (Pre-Shared
Key) for security.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the
clients that will be used with the router only support
the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation
of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the
WPA2 option, the router tries WPA2 rst, but falls back
to WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the WPA2
Only option, the router associates only with clients that
also support WPA2 security.

Enable this feature to protect your network from certain kinds of

If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can
expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that

Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety
of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended as a last resort.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want to
have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer obtains its IP

There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar
only allows devices onto the wireless network if you have entered the correct PIN, or pressed a special WPS button on the device.
The router acts as a registrar for the network, although other devices may act as a registrar as well.
