Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DSL-2888A Wireless AC1600 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router shares your DSL Internet connection over blazing-fast Wireless AC of up to 1600 Mbps (Up to 1300 Mbps 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 300 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wireless N)1, and uses advanced AC beamforming technology to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal to significantly outperform 802.11n and other older, non-beamforming capable 802.11ac devices. It also comes equipped with a Gigabit WAN port, two USB ports, and four Gigabit ports to provide speeds up to 10 times faster than standard 10/100 ports. Multiple WAN ports provide uninterrupted Internet service thanks to failover protection, allowing you to use the DSL port to connect to your VDSL/ADSL service, the WAN port to connect to Ethernet based networks, or a supported mobile broadband USB dongle to connect to the Internet using your mobile provider.
The DSL-2888A 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 is equipped with a dual-active firewall (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks over the Internet.
The DSL-2888A's SharePort technology lets you take advantage of file sharing. Simply plug in a USB storage drive into a USB port on the back or side of your DSL-2888A and you can access files, stream videos, view photos, or listen to music on your laptop or mobile devices.
The DSL-2888A Wireless AC1600 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router provides incredible speeds, smart antenna technology, fast ports, cloud features, and terrific security features. It also features an innovative design and easy installation options.
1Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and 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 for proper operation and best performance.
Note: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DSL-2888A Wireless AC1600 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router for the first time. If you are replacing an existing DSL modem and/or router, you may need to modify these steps.
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.
•Configure 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 Internet Service Provider (ISP) or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.
•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 configuration 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 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). 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 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 14 meters (42 feet) 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 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) 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.
