This cloud-
enabled router can be configured to send an email to keep you informed anywhere, anytime when new devices are connecting to your network or unwanted access is detected. Monitor in real time websites that are being visited with recent browser history displayed on the mydlink Lite app which is great for parents. The D-Link Cloud Service can detect and block unwelcome guests who try to access your wireless network, and suspicious activities will be displayed right on your mydlink Lite app or browser. The D-Link DIR-862L is an IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers speeds up to three times faster than 802.11n while staying backward compatible with 802.11a/g/b devices. Connect the DIR-862L to a Cable or DSL modem and provide high-
speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. Create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by 802.11ac technology and equipped with four internal antennas, this router provides superior wireless coverage for larger homes and offices, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The DIR-862L also includes a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch that connects wired devices to enjoy lag-free Internet gaming and faster file transfers. D-Link has created SharePort technology to bring more flexibility to your network. With SharePort technology, you can connect a USB printer and share it throughout your network. You can also share a USB storage device, providing network storage for everyone to share. With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are mixed together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, bandwidth intensive applications like video streaming could pause or delay. With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. The DIR-862L supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it over a wireless network or the Internet. Support for WPA and WPA2 standards ensures that you will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router utilizes Dual Active Firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks from across the Internet making it the ideal centerpiece for your wireless network in the home or office. 3 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 1 - Product Overview Features Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-868L can provide up to a full 1750Mbps* 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 802.11a/g/n Devices - The DIR-862L is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a/g/n standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n PCI, USB, and Cardbus adapters. 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. Filter Scheduling - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes. Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-862L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-862L can securely access corporate networks. User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-862L lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your companys server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and draft 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. 4 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview Connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 5 6 USB Port WPS Button LAN Ports (1-4) Internet Port Power Button Power Receptor Connect a USB flash drive to share content throughout your network.

The light will blink green during the WPS process. The light will blink orange during boot up. A solid green light indicates a connection to the Internet. If the LED is orange, a cable is connected but the router can not communicate with the Internet. 6 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 1 - Product Overview 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, or in the attic or garage. Installation Before you Begin Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. 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 ISP to change connection types (USB to Ethernet). 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. 7 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations This 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 adapters range from 1-30 meters (3-90 feet). 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 0.5 meters at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 1 meter thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 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 in not in use. 8 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 2 - Installation 1. Turn off and unplug your cable or DSL broadband modem. This is required. Hardware Setup Modem 2. Position your router close to your modem and a computer. Place the router in an open area of your intended work area for better wireless coverage. 3.

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The 2 major improvements over WEP:
Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys havent been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computers hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point. WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the EAP. EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. 57 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 4 - Security This section will allow you to change the local network settings of the router and to configure the DHCP settings. Network Settings Router Settings Router IP Address:
Enter the IP address of the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. If you change the IP address, once you click Save Settings, you will need to enter the new IP address in your browser to get back into the configuration utility. Subnet Mask:
Enter the Subnet Mask. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Device Name:
Enter a name for the router. Local Domain:
Enter the Domain name (Optional). Enable DNS Relay:
Uncheck the box to transfer the DNS server information from your ISP to your computers. If checked, your computers will use the router for a DNS server. 58 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 3 - Configuration DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-862L has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to Obtain an IP Address Automatically. When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-862L. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool. Enable DHCP Server:
Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router. Uncheck to disable this function. DHCP IP Address Range:
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP servers IP assignment. Note: If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to your computers or devices, make sure the IP addresses are outside of this range or you may have an IP conflict. DHCP Lease Time:
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease time in minutes. Always Broadcast:
If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses from the routers DHCP server as expected, this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the routers DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets. Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN. NetBIOS Announcement:
Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allow LAN hosts to discover all other computers within the network, e.g. within Network Neighborhood. Learn NetBIOS from WAN:
If NetBIOS announcement is switched on, it will cause WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this setting off to configure manually. 59 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 3 - Configuration NetBIOS Scope:
This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of a NetBIOS domain name under which network hosts operate. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated. NetBIOS Node:
This field indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery. H-Node indicates a Hybrid-State of operation. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is generally the preferred mode if you have configured WINS servers. M-Node (default) indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First a broadcast operation is performed to register hosts and discover other hosts, if broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favours broadcast operations which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority of network services such as servers and printers are local to the LAN. P-Node indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all NetBIOS operation to the configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working WINS server. B-Node indicates to use local network broadcast ONLY. This setting is useful where there are no WINS servers available, however, it is preferred you try M-Node operation first. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated. WINS IP Address:
Enter your WINS Server IP address(es). 60 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 3 - Configuration If you want a computer or device to always have the same IP address assigned, you can create a DHCP reservation.

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 the following examples. 1. Why cant I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 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 7 and higher
- Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and higher
- Google Chrome 8 and higher
- Apple Safari 4 and 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 Zone Alarm, Black Ice, 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. 134 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 6 - Troubleshooting Configure your Internet settings:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their defaults. Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK. Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times. Close your web browser (if open) and open it. Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router in the address bar. This should open the login page for your web management. If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer. 2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults. To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty. 135 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 6 - Troubleshooting 3. Why cant I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my router?
If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail, we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc). To find the proper MTU Size, youll have to do a special ping of the destination youre trying to go to. A destination could be another computer, or a URL. Click on Start and then click Run. Windows 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 users type in cmd) and press Enter (or click OK). Once the window opens, youll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472 136 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 6 - Troubleshooting You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network were working with (1452+28=1480). Once you find your MTU, you can now configure your router with the proper MTU size. To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below:
Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK. Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web configuration page for the device. Click on Setup and then click Manual Configure. To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU field and click Save Settings to save your settings. Test your email. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments of ten. 137 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualSection 6 - Troubleshooting Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers. A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users. Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards. Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this link. 138 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics What is Wireless?
People use wireless or Wi-Fi technology as a way of connecting your computer to a network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network. Why D-Link Wireless?
Overall, D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network. How does wireless work?
Phones that connect wirelessly to a base station work like wireless does, using radio signals to transmit data from point A to point B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks: Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Every local area network needs a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other outdoor venues. 139 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Range for Bluetooth (WPAN industry standard) is up to 30 feet away and eliminates the need for many cables. Only WLAN has the speed and wireless operation range suitable for computers transmitting large amounts of data, but WPAN doesnt use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries. Who uses wireless?
Customers and employees, students and teachers, family members; everyone uses wireless. It has become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it. Whether its for home or office, D-Link has a wireless solution for it. Home Kids wont trip over cables Email, surf, chat, game, etc... The only way to connect with new devices such as phones and tablets Freedom to move from room to room Instant access for visitors with guest networks Stay on top of everything at home as you would at the office Trim purchasing and maintenance costs associated with cables 32 or even more connections so everyone can get online Small Office and Home Office 140 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or in the office. People like the freedom of mobility and its becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connections in public places are usually called hotspots. Using a Wi-Fi enabled laptop, you can access a hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote locations like airports, hotels, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers. A wireless network is easy to setup, but if youre installing one for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start. Thats why weve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network. Tips Here are a few things to keep in mind when you install a wireless network. Centralize your router or Access Point Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal and extend the range. Eliminate Interference Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access point. This will significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency. 141 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics Security Dont let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router. Ad-Hoc Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer. An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the wireless router or access point. An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as Wi-Fi enabled laptops. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate. 142 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows 7/Vista users type cmd in the Start Search box.) At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters. 143 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix B - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:
Step 1 Windows 7 -
Windows Vista - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. Windows XP -
Windows 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties. Connections. Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Step 2 Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties. Step 3 Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. Step 4 Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router. Example: If the routers LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set the Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (e.g. 192.168.0.1). Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP. Step 5 Click OK twice to save your settings. 144 D-Link DIR-862L User ManualAppendix B - Networking Basics Technical Specifications LAN Interface: Four 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN ports Hardware Specifications WAN Interface: 10/100/1000 Gigabit WAN port Wireless Interface (2.4 GHz): IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Interface (5 GHz): IEEE 802.11a/n/ac USB Interface: USB 2.0 Compliant Operating Voltage Output: DC12V, 2A Input: 100~240V (20%), 50~60Hz Temperature Operating: 32 ~ 104oF (0 ~ 40oC) Non-Operating: -4 ~ 149oF (-20 ~ 65oC) Humidity Operating: 10% - 90% non-condensing Non-Operating: 5% - 95% non-condesing Standards IEEE 802.11ac (draft) IEEE 802.11n IEEE 802.11g IEEE 802.11b IEEE 802.11a IEEE 802.3 IEEE 802.3u Wireless Bandwidth Rate IEEE 802.11a: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6 Mbps IEEE 802.11b: 11, 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps IEEE 802.11g: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, and 6 Mbps IEEE 802.11n: 6.5 to 450 Mbps IEEE 802.11ac: 6.5 to 1299.9 Mbps Antenna Type Six Internal Antennas (Three 2.4 GHz Antennas, Three 5 GHz Antennas) Wireless Security 64/128bit WEP, WPA/WPA2-Personal, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise, WPS
