Introduction

Introducing the R32 AX3200 Wi-Fi 6 AI Router, the high-performance router with Next-Gen Wi-Fi 6 technology. The advanced AX3200 Wi-Fi blankets every square inch of your home, fast and reliably, making it perfect for large homes with lots of connected devices. With R32, you can enjoy Wi-Fi that’s stable, consistent, and truly intelligent. Thanks to the integrated voice assistant compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, you can control your network with voice commands.

Features

High-speed Wireless Performance With Wireless 802.11ax Technology
Thanks to the latest wireless AX technology, the R32 supports bi-directional MU-MIMO technology as well as OFDMA technology to handle more devices while reducing network latency, allowing users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and more with smooth performance.
Intelligent Quality of Service Features
The Quality of Service (QoS) allows you to prioritize important trac to ensure that real-time applications are receiving optimal bandwidth. Moreover, the built-in AI engine collects and analyzes trac data and noties administrators of high bandwidth consumption so that they can take prompt action.
Smooth Wireless Connectivity with Maximized Bandwidth
The innovative AI Trac Optimizer provides weekly usage report to inform administrators of the consumption of network bandwidth along with heavy users. It also rates the overall condition of the wireless network and states the number of times the engine has optimized the network automatically based on the network conditions and usage data.
Always Up-to-Date with the Latest Features
The R32 will automatically check updates daily to make sure that the device always has the latest features and the most secure rmware. For an extra peace of mind, in the event of failure during the rmware update, the router will store a backup system image in the memory before proceeding with the update.

Installation

This section will walk you through the installation of your R32.

Before you Begin

Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage.
Congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your Internet connection. Verify that it is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.
If your ISP provides you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to bridge or router mode depending on your usage requirements. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.
You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn o your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).
If connecting to a DSL modem, 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 conguration settings which might be necessary to establish a connection.
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.
If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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.

Go to Settings > Operation Mode to select your operation mode. Depending on your network architecture, you can congure the router to function as one of the following types of network device: router, extender, or bridge.
Router Mode: In this mode, the R32 directly connects to the Internet provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). All client devices from a network group are connected and managed under this router. This is the default mode.
Bridge Mode: In this Mode, the R32 extends your existing network and improves overall Wi-Fi coverage, meaning that you already have a router on the premises. Under this mode, the DHCP Server, Parental Control, QoS, and Firewall settings rely on the existing router.
Extender Mode: In this mode, this device acts as an extender to connect your wireless devices, expanding Wi-Fi coverage. It provides connectivity between various wireless devices. This can be useful if you already have an existing wireless router. You can then manage the extender through the main router under this mode.

AI Trac Optimizer: The QoS engine controls the trac ow intelligently by automatically assigning heavy trac with a low priority to improve the overall user experience. It also generates information about bandwidth usage of individual devices and aggregate utilization data.
AI Assistant: The message center reports Internet trac volume and provides usage notications when clients are transmitting a large amount of data or overly active at night in the weekly bandwidth report. It also enables you to prioritize connected devices to reduce trac congestion along with the report. Moreover, every improvement made by the Wi-Fi Optimizer will also be recorded to inform administrators about conditions of the wireless environment.
