Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DWR-920V Wireless N300 4G LTE Router lets you share a fast mobile Internet connection with multiple PCs and mobile devices letting you
and your friends enjoy the advantages of a wireless network anywhere, anytime. It oers 4G LTE and 3G HSPA+ compatibility for fast downlink and
uplink data rates, so you get fast upload and download speeds in areas without wired Internet.
High-Speed Mobile Internet with LTE Connectivity
The DWR-920V Wireless N300 4G LTE Router gives you high-speed Internet wherever you are and lets you share it on the go. Using LTE technology,
1
you can achieve download speeds of up to 150 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 50 Mbps
to your mobile service provider, and a separate internal Wi-Fi antenna gives extended coverage to the computers and mobile devices connected to
the DWR-920V.
Mobile Internet for All of Your Devices
With the DWR-920V, you can get online with your notebook, smartphone, tablet, or any other wireless device using a single mobile connection. The
DWR-920V provides high-speed Wireless N coverage, giving high-speed wireless access to everybody – whether you are with colleagues on a business
trip, or travelling with friends and family.
. The built-in LTE antenna provides a reliable connection
Built-in Software for Instant Access Anywhere
The DWR-920V is truly plug-and-play, with drivers already on the router, so you can connect without needing to install anything. Open a browser,
connect to the router, and you can set up your network right from the web interface. Once the device is set up, you can simply power it on to start
up your portable mobile network without any conguration, meaning that you can share your mobile Internet connection without even needing a
computer.

Section 2 - Installation
Installation
This section will guide 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 an attic or garage.
Initial Setup
Ensure that your DWR-920V Wireless N300 4G LTE Router is disconnected and powered o
before performing the steps below.
1. Verify that your SIM/UICC card is installed and has been activated by your carrier. To install
your SIM/UICC card, follow the diagram next to the slot. Push gently until it locks into place.
Caution: Always unplug/power down the router before installing or removing the SIM/UICC
card. Never insert or remove the SIM/UICC card while the router is in use.
2. Attach the included antennas to the back of the router, screwing them in clockwise. Arrange
them so that they point upwards.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-920V can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that
the quantity, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may adversely aect wireless
signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or oce. The key to maximizing
the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range
from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a
45-degree angle. At a 2-degree angle it appears 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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways. Materials such as glass, metal,
brick, insulation, concrete, and water can aect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors, and
aluminum studs may also have a negative eect on range.
4. If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base
transmits a signal even when the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as
ceiling fans, uorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Section 3 - Conguration
Conguration
This section will show you how to congure your new D-Link mobile router using the conguration utility that can be accessed via your web-browser.
Initial Connection to the Router
By default, the DWR-920V comes congured to work with most 4G SIM/UICC cards. If you wish to congure the router, you will need to establish a
direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based conguration utility. For information please refer to Connect via Wi-Fi on page
10. Once you have congured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you specied in the conguration process.

Connect via Wi-Fi
Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are using a dierent operating system, or a third party connection
utility, the process may be dierent. Please refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or wireless client for further information on
how to connect to a wireless network.
To connect to the router using Wi-Fi, open your operating system’s wireless networking utility
and scan for available networks to connect to. By default, the network name (SSID) of the
DWR-920V will be in the format dlink_DWR-920V_xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last
four characters of the DWR-920V’s MAC address. The default SSID and password can also be
found on the product label attached to the battery cover. For more information on where to
nd this label refer to Hardware Overview on page 4.
