Wireless Installation Considerations

The DWR-932C 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 aect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or oce. 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 aect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative eect 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.

Conguration
This section will show you how to congure your new D-Link mobile router using the conguration utility that can be accessed via your web-browser.

Initial Connection to the Router

By default, the DWR-932C comes congured to work with most 4G SIM cards. Simply connect to it via Wi-Fi or use the included USB to access the SIM’s Internet connection. If you wish to congure the router, you will need to establish a direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based conguration utility. For information about how to Connect via Wi-Fi on page 11. Once you have congured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you specied in the conguration process. Please ensure that the router is powered on and has sucient battery power before commencing the setup process.

Connect via USB

To connect to the router via USB, plug the provided Micro-USB cable into the Micro-USB port on the side of the router, and plug the other end into an available USB port on your computer.

USB Tethering Driver Installation

When you plug the DWR-932C into your computer, any necessary drivers will immediately install. Your version of Windows may prompt you to conrm the driver installation.

Connect via Wi-Fi

Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are using a dierent operating system, or a third party connection utility, the process may be dierent. 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-932C will be in the format dlink_DWR-932C_xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last four character’s of the DWR-932C’s MAC address. The default SSID and password can also be found on the product label situated under the battery. For more information on where to nd this label refer to Hardware Overview on page 4.
