Section 1 - Product Overview

Features

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-860L Wireless AC technology provides a wireless connection with speeds
*
of up to 1200 Mbps and 5 GHz bands to allow separation of trac so users can participate in high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio, without aecting low-priority trac like email and web surng.
• Cloud Features - The DIR-860L supports the QRS Mobile app to setup the router using a mobile device. It is also mydlink-enabled so you can remotely access and manage your DIR-860L from a mobile device.

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 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 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 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 (0.5 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 dierence. 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 2.4 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.

Using the mydlink™ SharePort app for Android™

The mydlink SharePort app is a streamlined mobile application that allows you to conveniently stream media and share les stored on a removable storage connected to your router. Once the router is set up, you can start the app and easily connect from a local network or through the Internet to access your photos, videos, music, and documents. It allows you to create your own personal cloud storage; you can upload les and photos from your mobile device to the removable storage via the app from anywhere in the world!
Note: In order to ensure smooth streaming performance, you will need a minimum of 2 Mbit/s upload bandwidth for your router’s Internet connection.
Streaming performance will vary depending on the quality of your Internet connection.
Using mydlink SharePort remotely from the Internet:
1. Make sure the device is powered on. Then plug your USB drive into the USB port of the device.
Note: If you connect a removable storage with many les or a large capacity, it may
take a while for the router to scan and catalog your les.
2. If you are connecting remotely through the mydlink SharePort app from the Internet, you will need a mydlink account. Please refer to mydlink on page 103 for more details.
