Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction

Now you can monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ device. This cloudenabled router can be configured to send an email to keep you informed anywhere, anytime when new devices are connecting to your network or unwanted access is detected. Monitor in real time websites that are being visited with recent browser history displayed on the mydlink™ Lite app – which is great for parents. The D-Link Cloud Service can detect and block unwelcome guests who try to access your wireless network, and suspicious activities will be displayed right on your mydlink™ Lite app or browser.

The D-Link DIR-862L is an IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers speeds up to three times faster than 802.11n while staying backward compatible with 802.11a/g/b devices. Connect the DIR-862L to a Cable or DSL modem and provide highspeed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by 802.11ac technology and equipped with four internal antennas, this router provides superior wireless coverage for larger homes and offices, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The DIR-862L also includes a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch that connects wired devices to enjoy lag-free Internet gaming and faster file transfers.

D-Link has created SharePort™ technology to bring more flexibility to your network. With SharePort™ technology, you can connect a USB printer and share it throughout your network. You can also share a USB storage device, providing network storage for everyone to share.

With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, bandwidth intensive applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams.

The DIR-862L supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it over a wireless network or the Internet. Support for WPA™ and WPA2™ standards ensures that you will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet making it the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office.

Section 1 - Product Overview

Features

•Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-868L can provide up to a full 1750Mbps* wireless connection with concurrent 801.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients . It also operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to allow separation of traffic so users can participate in high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio, without affecting low-priority traffic like email and web surfing.

•Compatible with 802.11a/g/n Devices - The DIR-862L is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a/g/n standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n PCI, USB, and Cardbus adapters.

•Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features including:

•Content Filtering - Easily-applied content filtering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain Name.

•Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.

•Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-862L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-862L can securely access corporate networks.

•User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-862L lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.

*Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and draft 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely affect 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 configure 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 off 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 asWinPoet, 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 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 1-30 meters (3-90 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 at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect 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 (fish tanks), mirrors, file 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.
