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 congured 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 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 experience lags or delays.
With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless trac are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. You
can also assign priorities to dierent data streams to ensure that the trac 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.

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 congure your router
to your specic settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and draft 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions
and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

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 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 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.

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 aect your wireless signal. 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 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.
