Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

Now you can monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iOS, or Android™ device. This cloud-enabled router can be congured to notify you whenever new devices are connected to your network or unwanted access is detected. Monitor in realtime websites that are being visited, with recent browser history displayed on the mydlink™ Lite app – which is great for parents keeping an eye on children using the internet at home. The D-Link Cloud Service can help you to detect and block unwelcome guests who attempt to access your wireless network, and any suspicious activities will be displayed right on your mydlink Lite app or browser.
The D-Link DIR-810L is a draft IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers speeds up to 3 times faster than 802.11n, while staying backward compatible with older 802.11b/g/n devices. Connect the DIR-810L to a Cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple wireless clients. Powered by the latest draft 802.11ac technology, this router provides superior wireless coverage for small to medium sized homes. The DIR-810L also includes a 4-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch that connects Ethernet wired devices for high-speed wired connectivity.
With some routers, all wired and wireless trac, 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 experience lags or delays. With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless trac are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. You can also assign priorities to dierent data streams to ensure that the trac most important to you recieves optimum bandwidth.
The DIR-810L supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from inside your wireless network or from the Internet. Support for the WPA and WPA2 standards gives you a range of security and encryption choices, based on the capabilities of your wireless clients. In addition, this router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.
3D-Link DIR-810L User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-810L provides a wireless connection up to 300Mbps on the 2.4GHz band, and up to 433Mbps on the 5GHz band. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11ac wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds up to three times faster than 802.11n.
• Compatible with 802.11a/g/n Devices - The DIR-810L remains fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n standards, so it can connect your existing wireless clients, providing backwards compatibility for older devices.
• Advanced Security Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features including:
Content Filtering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.

Features

Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-810L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-810L can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-810L guides you through the process of setting up a customized, secure wireless network, allowing you to congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and draft 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

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 an attic or garage.

Before you Begin

• Please congure 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 this 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 DIR-810L Wireless AC750 Dual Band Cloud 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 used 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 router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall
or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range by 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 0.5 meters thick (1.5 feet), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it can appear over 14 meters (42 feet) 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 can aect your wireless signal. 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 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 wireless products (such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may be degraded dramatically or even 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.
