Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DIR-822 is a IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3x faster speeds than 802.11n while staying backward
compatible with 802.11g/b/a devices. Connect the DIR-822 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 and equipped with four external antennas, this router
provides superior wireless coverage for larger homes and oces, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The
DIR-822 also includes a 4-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch that connects to wired devices for uninterrupted video calling and
faster le transfers.
D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology helps to increase network eciency by analyzing wired and wireless network trac and
prioritizing it in order of importance. This way, important network trac such as VoIP and video streaming, take priority over
background network trac such as a le downloads and print tasks, ensuring you have optimal network performance.
The DIR-822 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 is equipped with a dual-active rewall (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential
attacks over the Internet.

Section 1 - Product Overview
•UltimateFastWirelessNetworking - The DIR-822 provides up to 300 Mbps wireless connection in 2.4 GHz
band, and up to 867 Mbps wireless connection in 5 GHz with other 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients. 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 3x faster than 802.11n.
•Compatiblewith802.11a/g/nDevices - The DIR-822 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g
and 802.11n, so it can connect with existing 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11n PCI, USB, and CardBus adapters.
•AdvancedFirewallFeatures - The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features including:
• ContentFiltering - Easily applied content ltering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain
name.
Features
• FilterScheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of
hours or minutes.
• SecureMultiple/ConcurrentSessions - The DIR-822 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-822 can securely access
corporate networks.
•User-friendlySetupWizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-822 lets you control what
information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s
server. Congure your router to your specic settings within minutes.
* 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 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 2.4 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 in not
in use.

Section 2 - Installation
Manual Setup
1. Turn o and unplug your cable or DSL broadband modem. This is required.
2. Position your router close to your modem and a computer. Place the router in an open area of your intended
work area for better wireless coverage.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your modem (or existing router if upgrading) that is connected to your computer.
Plug it into the LAN port labeled 1 on the back of your router. The router is now connected to your computer.
4. Plug one end of the included blue Ethernet cable that came with your router into the yellow port labeled
INTERNET on the back of the router. Plug the other end of this cable into the Ethernet port on your modem.
5. Reconnect the power adapter to your cable or DSL broadband modem and wait for two minutes.
6. Connect the supplied power adapter into the power port on the back of the router and then plug it into a power
outlet or surge protector. Press the power button and verify that the power LED is lit. Allow 1 minute for the
router to boot up.
7. If you are connecting to a broadband service that uses a dynamic connection (not PPPoE), you may be online
already. Try opening a web browser connecting to a website. If a solid light indicates a connection on the Internet
port, then the router can connect to the Internet.
