Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link Wireless N300 Multi-WAN Router allows users to access mobile broadband networks worldwide. Once
connected, users can transfer data and stream media. Simply connect your USB modem to share your 3G/4G LTE Internet
connection through a secure 802.11n wireless network or using the 10/100 Ethernet port.
The Wireless N300 Multi-WAN Router can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. This router is great for situations
where an impromptu wireless network must be set up, or wherever conventional network access is unavailable. The
DWR-116 can even be installed in buses, trains, or boats, allowing passengers to check e-mail or chat online while
commuting.

Section 2 - Installation
Installation
This section will guide 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.
Connect to Your Network
Note: Ensure that your DWR-116 Wireless N300 Multi-WAN Router is disconnected and powered off before performing the
installation steps below.
1. Connect a USB modem to the USB port located on the top of the router.
2. Insert an Ethernet network cable into the LAN port on the back of the router. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into
the LAN port of your computer or laptop. The Ethernet LED will turn green if the Ethernet connection is successfully established.
Note: The DWR-116 Wireless N300 Multi-WAN Router’s LAN ports are “Auto-MDI/MDIX.” Therefore, patch or crossover Ethernet
cables can be used.
3. Configure the device using the setup utility.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-116 can be accessed using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless
network. Keep in mind, however, that the quantity, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless
signals must pass through, may limit the range. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio
frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling
can reduce your adapter’s range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).
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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways
or drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance.
Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative
effect on range.
4. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your
wireless device as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. In some cases, cordless
phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home
security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Configuration
This section will show you how to configure your new D-Link mobile router using the web-based configuration utility.
Web-based Configuration Utility

Setup
Internet Connection Setup Wizard
The setup wizard guides you through the initial setup of your router.
There are two ways to setup your Internet connection. You can use the
Web-based Internet Connection Setup Wizard or you can manually
configure using the Manual Internet Connection Setup wizard.
This wizard will guide you through a step-by-step process to
configure your D-Link router to connect to the Internet.
Click Internet Connection Setup Wizard to begin.
If you want to enter your settings without running the wizard, click
Manual Internet Connection Setup and skip to page “Manual
Internet Connection Setup” on page 16.

Note: The DWR-116 supports several kinds of WAN interfaces, allowing
you to assign either a WAN or a WWAN(3G/4G LTE) connection as the
backup WAN. If the Primary WAN is down or unavailable, configure
the backup WAN to Enable, and all the traffic will be routed through
backup WAN. This feature is called WAN Failover. You can use WAN
Failover if you need redundancy to your Internet connection or any
other network.
