Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DIR-815 AC1200 Wi-Fi Router shares your Internet connection over a blazing-fast wireless connection of up to 1200 Mbps (up to 866 Mbps
over 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 300 Mbps over 2.4 GHz Wireless N)1, using advanced AC beamforming technology to signicantly outperform
802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. Equipped with one Fast Ethernet WAN/Internet port and four Fast Ethernet LAN ports, providing speeds up
to 10 times faster than standard 10/100 ports and creating the best networking experience to date.
Featuring four antennas, the AC1200 Wi-Fi Router oers better data rates, fewer dead-spots, more coverage, and higher reliability. Operating
exclusively in the 5 GHz band, the DIR-815’s 802.11ac wireless connections avoid the crowded 2.4 GHz band, giving you faster speeds while still
maintaining backwards compatibility with older 802.11n/g/b devices. A stronger Wi-Fi signal means you can install more wireless surveillance
cameras, baby monitors, sensors, and alarms in the places where you need them.
The DIR-815 supports the latest security features to help prevent unauthorized access. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™ standards ensure that you
will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. This router is also equipped with a dual-active rewall (SPI and
NAT) to prevent potential attacks over the Internet.
The DIR-815 is full of features to improve your home network. The built-in USB 2.0 port lets you easily share a USB storage drive with all the devices
on your local network. The rich parental controls allow you to easily control when the Internet should be available in your home and what content
is allowed. With all this and more, the DIR-815 AC1200 Wi-Fi Router will serve your network well for years to come.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and 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.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
• Excellent Wireless Networking - The DIR-815 provides wireless speeds of up to a combined 1200 Mbps (866 Mbps 802.11ac 5
GHz, plus 300 Mbps 802.11n 2.4 GHz)1. This capability rivals wired connections, allowing users to participate in real-time activities
online, such as HD video communication, online gaming, and use mobile devices from anywhere in your home while still oering
full 802.11n/g/b backward compatibility.
• Fast Wired LAN and WAN Networking - With four 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN ports, and a 10/100 Fast Ethernet WAN port, the DIR-815
has a high amount of bandwidth to take full advantage of the highest speed broadband connections available.
• IPv6 Support - The DIR-815 fully supports IPv6 and includes support for a variety of IPv6 connection types including: SLAAC/DHCPv6,
6to4, 6rd, Static IPv6, IPv6 PPPoE, IPv6 in IPv4 tunneling, and local connectivity.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features. Easily
apply content ltering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain name. Schedule these lters to be active on certain days or for a
duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-815 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and
PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-815 can securely access corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based, the DIR-815 lets you quickly congure and secure your router to
your specic settings in minutes.

Installation
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.
• Congure 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 provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so the router can work properly. Please
contact your Internet Service Provider (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, 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 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
conguration 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
This D-Link wireless device 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 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). 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 (1.5 feet) thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be
almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks 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 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 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) 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.
