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.

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.

Note:The DWR-116 supports several kinds ofWAN 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.
