6 Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction The D-Link Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router allows users to access worldwide mobile broadband networks. Once connected, users can transfer data, stream media, and send SMS messages. Simply insert a 3G / 4G USB dongle, and share your 3G / 4G Internet connection through a secure n wireless network or using any of the four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports. Keep your wireless network safe with WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption. The DWR-118 utilizes dual-active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks across the Internet, and includes MAC address filtering to control access to your network. The Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. This router is great for situations where an impromptu wireless network must be set up, or wherever conventional network access is unavailable. 2

10 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. Before You Begin 1. Ensure that your DWR-118 Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router is disconnected and powered off. 2. To use your 3G / 4G Internet connection, insert a 3G / 4G USB dongle into the USB port on the top of the device. 3. To use your WAN connection, insert your Internet/WAN network cable into the WAN port on the back of the router. Note: The 3G/4G connection can also be used as a backup WAN. Once a backup is configured, the router will automatically use 3G / 4G for the Internet connection if the Ethernet WAN is not available. 4. Insert the Ethernet cable into the LAN Port 1 on the back panel of the DWR-118 Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router and an available Ethernet port on the network adapter in the computer you will use to configure the router. Note: The DWR-118 Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router LAN Ports are Auto-MDI/MDIX, so both patch and crossover Ethernet cables can be used. 5. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DWR-118 Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router. 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. b. The LEDs on the front panel will flash on and off as the DWR-118 Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Multi-WAN Router performs initialization and Internet connection processes. c. After a few moments, if a connection has been established, the following LEDs will turn solid green: Power, Status, WAN, WLAN, and any LAN Port LEDs that are connected to computers or other devices. 6

11 Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The DWR-118 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your 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 limit the range of the wireless signal. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines: 1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link 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), 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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete, and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range. 4. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, 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 if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity. 7

RTS Threshold: Fragmentation: DTIM Interval: WMM Capable: TX Rates: Short GI: This value should remain at its default setting of If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. The fragmentation threshold determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the specified value will be fragmented before transmission is the default setting. A Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a QoS (Quality of Service) system for your wireless network. Enable this option to improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients. Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of wireless adapters on your wireless network. It is strongly recommended to keep this setting to Best. Check this box to reduce the guard interval to 400 ns. This can increase the throughput rate provided that the delay spread of the connection is also low. However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections. 26

68 Section 6 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWR-118. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to these examples. 1. Why can t I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the IP address of the D-Link router ( for example), you are not connecting to a website, nor do you have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility. Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following: - Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 or higher - Mozilla Firefox 23 or higher - Google Chrome 28 or higher - Apple Safari 6 or higher Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable, or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be on. Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as ZoneAlarm, BlackICE, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it. 64
