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 signicantly 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 trac 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 buering, 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 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.
• 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. Congure your router to your specic 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 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.

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.

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 conguration 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 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 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.
