Driver Installation
When you plug the DWR-932 into your computer, any necessary drivers will immediately install (with your permission).

“Conguration Utility” on page 12.
7D-Link DWR-932 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-932 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that
the quantity, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may adversely aect wireless
signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or oce. 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) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a
45-degree angle. At a 2-degree angle it appears 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. Materials such as glass, metal,
brick, insulation, concrete, and water can aect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors, and
aluminum studs may also have a negative eect on range.
4. If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, 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 when the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as
ceiling fans, uorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Conguration
This section will show you how to congure your new D-Link mobile router using the conguration utility that can be obtained through a software
interface or a web-based user interface.
Initial Connection to the Router
When conguring the router for the rst time, you will need to establish a direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based
conguration utility. This can be done using the included USB cable, or by connecting wirelessly to the DWR-932, as described in “Connect via
Wi-Fi” on page 10. Once you have congured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specied in the

Section 2 - Installation
Connect via Wi-Fi
Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are using a dierent operating system, or a third party connection
utility, the process may be dierent. Please refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or wireless client for further information on
how to connect to a wireless network.
To connect to the router using Wi-Fi, open your operating system’s wireless networking utility
and scan for available networks to connect to. By default, the network name (SSID) of the
DWR-932 will be in the format dlink_DWR-932_xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last four
character’s of the DWR-932’s MAC address.
Once you have located this network with your wireless utility, connect to the network using
the wireless networking utility.
