Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
Why do you need 11ax? Because your smart home is reaching the limits of its potential. Prevailing Wi-Fi standards simply aren’t built to support
multiple personal devices and smart home gadgets running simultaneously 24/7. The DIR-X1860 AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router brings next-generation
Wi-Fi technology into your home, giving you the quantum leap in capacity and bandwidth to support more devices at once. By combining highspeed 802.11ax Wi-Fi with dual-band technology and Gigabit Ethernet ports, the DIR-X1860 provides a seamless networking experience with a high
degree of convenience and flexibility. With its simple setup and management options, these features provide a fast and easy networking solution
for your home.
Mind-Blowing Speed and Range
The DIR-X1860 AX1800 Wi-Fi 6 Router brings a host of new technologies to create the best wireless networking experience to date. Unlike the
existing 11ac wireless standard that operates only in the 5 GHz range, 11ax Wi-Fi fully utilizes both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It also comes with 1024
QAM to boost throughput to devices by up to 25%. All this adds up to whopping combined speeds of up to 1800 Mbps (1200 Mbps + 574 Mbps).
Built-in Power Amplifiers and beamforming extend the reach of your Wi-Fi and direct the signals where they need to go. 11ax lets you unleash all
that lightning-fast Wi-Fi goodness over larger areas than ever - from bedroom and bathroom all the way to basement and backyard.
Made for Smart Home
The DIR-X1860 upgrades your network to the latest 11ax wireless technology which supports 8 simultaneous streams so it easily handles all
the connected devices you can throw at it all at the same time. Enjoy simultaneous throughput to multiple devices for seamless high definition
streaming media, VR gaming, and cloud storage. In addition, the 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet WAN port gives you fast paced Internet
access. The built-in Quality of Service (QoS) engine allows you to prioritize traffic to your preferred client, ensuring that your favorite devices are
receiving optimal bandwidth.
Exceptional Capacity
If you thought MU-MIMO in your Wi-Fi was cool, wait till you meet Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). It’s a signature
technology in 11ax that splits a channel into four sub-channels. The result? Signals from multiple devices get transmitted together in one shot and
never have to queue up again. Get an incredible 4x boost in your bandwidth capacity - perfect for smart homes filled with bandwidth-hungry IoT
devices threatening to devour your Wi-Fi capacity.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Unprecedented Network Efficiency
There’s nothing worse than inefficient Wi-Fi putting a damper on your network experience. In environments with multiple routers or access points,
BSS Coloring makes transmissions more unique by ‘coloring’ them with their own unique code resulting in less interference and more range in
congested Wi-Fi environments. Target Wake Time (TWT) schedules transmissions for client devices efficiently, meaning they know when to be ready
for data, and when to take a break, increasing your devices battery life. With the DIR-X1860, give your smart home the network efficiency boost it
deserves.
Easy to Setup and Manage
Sharing your Internet connection doesn’t have to be a complicated process; just download the free D-Link Wi-Fi app for your compatible iOS or
Android device and follow the on-screen step-by-step instructions to set up your DIR-X1860. You also have the option to use a web browser to
access the setup wizard and manage your router. In addition, access control features allow you to restrict access to your network giving you greater
control over network users. The DIR-X1860 even integrates voice assistant compatibility for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control
your network with voice commands.
Always Up-to-Date with the Latest Features
Tired of having to check the website or going to the DIR-X1860’s UI manually every so often to check for the latest firmware updates? The DIR-X1860
will automatically check daily for updates to make sure that the device always has the latest features with the most secure firmware and installs the
update silently in the background. For an extra peace of mind, in the event of failure during an automatic or manual firmware upgrade, the router
will store a backup system image in the memory beforehand.

Section 2 - 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.
• Configure 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 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 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 Internet Service Provider (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 configuration 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.
This section will walk you through the installation of your DIR-X1860.
Installation
8D-Link DIR-X1860 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
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
o
angle appears to be
almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2o 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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminium 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 is not in use.

This Quality of Service (QoS) Engine will allow you to prioritize particular
clients over others, so that those clients receive higher bandwidth. For
example, if one client is streaming a movie and another is downloading a
non-urgent file, you might wish to assign the former device a higher priority
than the latter so that the movie streaming is not disrupted by the traffic of
the other devices on the network.
Under Connected Clients, you will see device cards representing each
connected client. If some are off-screen, you can use the < and > buttons to
scroll through the cards.
A maximum of one device can be assigned Highest priority.
A maximum of two devices can be assigned High priority.
A maximum of eight devices can be assigned Medium priority.
If no devices are explicitly assigned a priority, they will all be treated with
equal priority. If some devices are not assigned a priority and others are, the
unassigned devices will be treated with the lowest priority.
To assign a priority level to a device, drag the device card from the All
Devices list over an empty slot and release the mouse button. The card will
remain in the slot. If you want to remove a priority assignment from a device
and return it to the All Devices list, click the cross icon in the top right of the
