Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link GO-RT-AC750 is a IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3 times faster speeds than 802.11n while staying
backward compatible with 802.11a/g/b devices. Connect the GO-RT-AC750 to a Cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed
Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos,
les, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by the 802.11ac technology this router provides wireless coverage
for homes and oces, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications.
With some routers, all wired and wireless trac, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed
together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With the
D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless trac are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams.
The GO-RT-AC750 supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a wireless
network or the Internet. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™ standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible encryption
regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks
from across the Internet for the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or oce.

Section 2 - Installation
Installation
This section will walk 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, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
Before you Begin
• Please congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
• 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, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your ISP to change connection
types (USB to Ethernet).
• 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.

Section 2 - Installation
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, however, 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 (.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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 2.4GHz 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 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not
in use.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The GO-RT-AC750 oers the
following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is
based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP
regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specic MAC address, which is relatively simple
to be snied out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized
network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between
8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your
wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public
key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The GO-RT-AC750 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically
assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load
the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the GO-RT-AC750. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address
from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.
Enable DHCP
Server:

Range:

Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.

Note: If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to your
computers or devices, make sure the IP addresses are outside
of this range or you may have an IP conict.
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease
time in minutes.
If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their
IP addresses from the router’s DHCP server as expected,
this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the
computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the
router’s DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that
incorrectly turns o the broadcast ag of DHCP packets.
Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at
the cost of increased broadcast trac on the LAN.
NetBIOS

have congured WINS servers. M-Node (default), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First Broadcast operation is performed
to register hosts and discover other hosts, if broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favours broadcast
operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority of network services such as
servers and printers are local to the LAN. P-Node, this indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS
operation to the congured WINS servers. You must have congured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working WINS

QoS Engine
The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are disabled and
application priority is not classied automatically. The QoS section contains a queuing mechanism, trac shaping and classication. It supports two kinds of
queuing mechanisms. Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ).
SPQ will process trac based on trac priority. Queue1 has the highest priority and
Queue4 has the lowest priority. WFQ will process trac based on the queue weight.
Users can congure each queue’s weight. The sum of all the queue’s weight must
be 100. When surng the Internet, the system will do trac shaping based on the
uplink and downlink speed. The classication rules can be used to classify trac to
dierent queues, then SPQ or WFQ will do QoS based on the queue’s priority
or weight.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
Enable QoS: This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for
