Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DSL-2885A Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router shares your DSL Internet connection over a blazing-fast Wireless AC connection using advanced AC beamforming technology to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal to significantly outperform 802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. It also comes equipped with four Gigabit ports to provide speeds up to 10x faster than standard 10/100 ports. With the addition of Advanced Quality of Service (QoS), data streams are separated, which helps organize and prioritize your network traffic so your video streaming, gaming, and VoIP calls run smoother over both your wired and wireless network.
SharePort technology lets you take advantage of the USB 2.0 porst found on the back and side of your DSL-2885A (as well as an additional USB 2.0 port). Plug in a USB storage drive and you can access files, stream videos, view photos, or listen to music on your laptop or mobile devices.
The DSL-2885A Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router provides incredible speeds, smart antenna technology, fast ports, cloud features, and terrific security features. It also features an innovative design and easy installation options.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
•Faster Wireless Networking - The DSL-2885A introduces Smart Connect, a new D-Link feature which when combined with an additional 5 Ghz antenna can provide up to a full 1200 Mbps* 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 802.11n/g/b/a Devices - The DSL-2885A is still fully compatible with the 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g and 802.11a standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a wireless devices.
•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.
•Scheduling - The Firewall, wireless, and port forwarding features can be scheduled to be active on certain days, or for a duration of a set number of hours.
•Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DSL-2885A can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DSL-2885A can securely access corporate networks.
•User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DSL-2885A 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, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 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, attic, or garage.
Note: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DSL-2885A Wireless AC1200 Dual-Band Gigabit ADSL2+/VDSL2 Modem Router for the first time. If you are replacing an existing DSL modem and/or router, you may need to modify these steps.
Before you Begin
•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 are necessary to establish a connection. This information may include the connection type (DHCP IP, Static IP, PPPoE, or PPPoA) and/or ATM PVC details.
•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.
•We suggest setting up your DSL-2885A from a single device and verifying that it is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.
•If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE connection software such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer as the DSL-2885A will be providing this functionality.

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 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 is not in use.
