The D-Link DWR-755 is a 802.11n/g/b compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 14x faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100 Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless network to share photos, les, music, video, printers, and network storage throughout your home. Connect the DWR-755 router to a cable or DSL modem and share your high-speed Internet access with everyone on the network. In addition, this router includes a Quality of Service (QoS) engine that keeps digital phone calls (VoIP) and online gaming smooth and responsive, providing a better Internet experience.

Introduction

3D-Link DWR-755 User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview

Whole Home Coverage while reducing dead spots. The router is designed for use in bigger homes and for users who demand higher performance networking. Add a Wireless N network from virtually anywhere in your home.

• Total Network Security - The Wireless N router supports all of the latest wireless security features to prevent

unauthorized access, be it from over the wireless network or from the Internet. Support for WPA/WPA2 standards ensures that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption method, regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes dual active rewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet.

• Quality of Service (QoS) - For smooth, uninterrupted streaming, this router includes a Quality of Service (QoS) engine

that prioritizes according to data type so your digital phone calls (VoIP) and online gaming stay smooth and responsive.

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range.

Section 2 - 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.

1. Ensure that your DWR-755 is disconnected and powered o.

2. Insert a standard (U)SIM card into the SIM card slot on the back of the router as indicated by the SIM card logo next to the slot. The gold contacts should face downwards.

Caution: Always unplug/power down the router before installing or removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove the SIM card while

the router is in use.

3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DWR-755. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip and turn the device on.

a. The Status LED will light up to indicate that power has been supplied to the router.

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, 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 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 (.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.

Wireless Installation Considerations

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.
