Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

The D-Link DSL-5300 Tri-Band Wireless AC5300 Gigabit VDSL Modem Router shares your DSL Internet connection over a blazing-fast Wireless AC connection using advanced AC beamforming technology to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal to signicantly outperform 802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. It also comes equipped with four Gigabit ports to provide speeds up to 10x faster than standard 10/100 ports. With the addition of Advanced Quality of Service (QoS), data streams are separated, which helps organize and prioritize your network trac so your video streaming, gaming, and VoIP calls run smoother over both your wired and wireless network.

The Tri-Band Wireless AC5300 Gigabit VDSL Modem Router supports VDSL2 to help you make the most of your broadband subscription. With download speeds of up to 100Mbps, the DSL-5300 provides more than enough bandwidth for multiple devices streaming HD video, playing intense online games, or multiple simultaneous le transfers. With VDSL2 and a compatible ISP, you can say goodbye to buering, queuing, and compromises for bandwidth-intensive applications.

File sharing technology lets you take advantage of the USB 3.0 port found on the back of your DSL-5300 (as well as an additional USB 2.0 port). Plug in a USB storage drive and you can use the access les, stream videos, view photos, or listen to music on your laptop or mobile devices.

The DSL-5300 Tri-Band Wireless AC5300 Gigabit VDSL Modem Router provides incredible speeds, smart antenna technology, fast ports, and cloud features. It also features an innovative design and easy installation options.

3D-Link DSL-5300 User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DSL-5300 uses Smart Connect, a D-Link feature, when combined with additional 5 GHz antennas, can provide up to a full 5300 Mbps and 802.11n wireless clients. It operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to allow separation of trac so users can participate in high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio, without aecting low-priority trac like email and web surng.

• Compatible with 802.11n/g/b/a Devices - The DSL-5300 is 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:

• Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain name.

• Scheduling - The Firewall, wireless, and port forwarding features can be scheduled to be active on certain days, or for a duration of a set number of hours.

Features

wireless connection with concurrent 801.11ac

• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DSL-5300 lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.

• Fast VDSL2 - VDSL2 support for up to 100 mbps broadband speeds lets you make the most of your high-speed connection. Plenty of bandwidth for every family member to each stream their own HD content and ultraresponsive for the most intense games, real-time video conferencing, or large le transfers.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 1 - Product Overview

Antenna Setup

The DSL-5300 is designed to give you the fastest, most stable network connection possible. In order to maximize performance, potition the antennas at an angle, pointing outward and away from the base unit.

NOTE: Attach the antennas to the router before powering it on.

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, attic, or garage.

Note: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DSL-5300 Tri-Band Wireless AC5300 Gigabit VDSL Modem Router for the rst time. If you are replacing an existing DSL modem and/or router, you may need to modify these steps.

Before you Begin

• 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 conguration settings necessary to establish a connection. This information may include the connection type (DHCP IP, Static IP, PPPoE, or PPPoA) and/or ATM PVC details.

• 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.

• We suggest setting up your DSL-5300 from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.

• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE connection software such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer as the DSL-5300 will provide functionality.

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 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 (0.5 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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 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 is not in use.

Section 2 - Installation

Position your router close to a wall jack that provides DSL service. Place the router in an open area of your

intended work area for better wireless coverage.

Connect your existing phone cable from a telephone outlet to the LINE port on the microlter and your telephone handset into the PHONE port.

Caution: - To reduce the risk of re, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
