Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DIR-808L is a draft IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers speeds up to 3 times faster than 802.11n, while
staying backward compatible with older 802.11b/g/n devices. Connect the DIR-808L to a cable or DSL modem and provide
high-speed Internet access to multiple wireless clients. Powered by the latest 802.11ac technology, this router provides superior
wireless coverage for small to medium sized homes. The DIR-808L also includes a 4-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch that
connects Ethernet wired devices for high-speed wired connectivity.
With the DIR-808L Wireless AC600 Dual Band Cloud Router you can monitor and manage your home network right from
your laptop, iOS™, or Android™ device. This cloud-enabled router can be configured to notify you whenever new devices are
connected 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 keeping an eye on children using the Internet
at home. The D-Link Cloud Service can help you to detect and block unwelcome guests who attempt to access your wireless
network, and any suspicious activities will be displayed right on your mydlink Lite app or browser.
With some routers, all wired and wireless traffic, including VoIP, video streaming, online gaming, and web browsing is mixed
together into a single data stream. By handling data this way, applications like video streaming could experience lags or delays.
With D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology, wired and wireless traffic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. You
can also assign priorities to different data streams to ensure that the traffic most important to you receives optimum bandwidth.
The DIR-808L supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from inside your wireless
network or from the Internet. Support for the WPA and WPA2 standards gives you a range of security and encryption choices,
based on the capabilities of your wireless clients. In addition, this router utilizes dual active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent
potential attacks from across the Internet.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
• Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-808L provides a wireless connection up to 150 Mbps on the
2.4 GHz band, and up to 433 Mbps on the 5 GHz band. This capability allows users to participate in real-time
activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11ac
wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds up to three times faster than 802.11n.
• Compatible with 802.11a/g/n Devices - The DIR-808L remains fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
and 802.11n standards, so it can connect your existing wireless clients, providing backwards compatibility for
older devices.
• Advanced Security 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-808L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-808L can securely access
corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-808L guides you
through the process of setting up a customized, secure wireless network, allowing you to configure your router
to your specific settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b, 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.

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, an attic, or a garage.
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 this 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.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DIR-808L Wireless AC600 Dual Band Cloud 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 used 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 router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall
or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range by 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 0.5 meters thick (1.5 feet), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it can appear over 14 meters (42 feet)
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 can affect your wireless signal. 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 be degraded dramatically or even 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.

these security types, please refer to “Wireless Security” on page 57.
Wireless Security Mode: WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most basic form of encryption that can be used
for wireless networks. WEP is considered to be a relatively weak security method,
however it provides more protection than an unsecured network. Older wireless
adapters may only support WEP encryption. It is recommended that this method is
used only if your wireless clients do not support WPA.
The following parameters are available for configuration:
WEP Key Length: Here the user can specify to either use a 64-bit or a 128-bit
encryption key.
Authentication: Authentication is a process by which the router verifies the
identity of a network device that is attempting to join the
wireless network. There are two types authentication
for this device when using WEP. Open System allows all
wireless devices to communicate with the router before they are
required to provide the encryption key needed to gain
access to the network. Shared Key requires any wireless
device attempting to communicate with the router to provide the encryption key needed to access the network before
they are allowed to communicate with the router.
WEP Key 1: Enter the WEP key used here. For 64-bit keys you must enter
10 hex digits into each key box. For 128-bit keys you must

Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Enterprise
WPA-Enterprise is a more sophisticated level of wireless security which requires a RADIUS Authentication Server. This form of security is used
primarily in medium to large-scale network environments.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that
will be used with the router only support this older standard.
WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i
security standard. Select Auto (WPA or WPA2) to have the
security set automatically depending on the compatibility
of connected clients. With the WPA2 option, the router tries
WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client only supports
WPA. With the WPA2 Only option, the router associates only
with clients that also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type: Select the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options to
choose from are Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP),
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Both (TKIP and
AES).
Group Key Update Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
Interval: broadcast and multicast data is changed.
Authentication Specifies the amount of time before a client will be required
Timeout: to re-authenticate.

Wireless Security
This section discusses the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-808L offers the
following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) 			
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)			
• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)			
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP.
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 haven’t 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 computer’s 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 Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption
system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DIR-808L has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will
automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. If using DHCP, be sure to set your computers
to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to Obtain an IP Address Automatically. When your wireless devices connect
to the router, they will automatically load the TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-808L. The DHCP Server will automatically
allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting device. You must specify the starting and ending
address of the IP address pool.
Enable DHCP Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router. Uncheck to
Server: disable this function.
DHCP IP Address Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP server’s IP
Range: 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 If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses
Broadcast: from the router’s 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 router’s 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 Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration
Announcement: settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to discover all other
computers within the network.

any. This mode favours broadcast operations which may be preferred
if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority

of these applications to work with the DIR-808L. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the
port normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the
firewall (public) ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
The DIR-808L provides some predefined applications in the table on the bottom of the web page. Select the application you

QoS Engine
The QoS Engine option helps improve your network performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are disabled and application priority is not classified automatically. The QoS section contains a queuing mechanism,
traffic shaping, and classification. It supports two kinds of queuing mechanisms: Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) and Weighted Fair
Queue (WFQ). SPQ will process traffic based on traffic priority; queue 1 has the highest priority and queue 4 has the lowest
priority. WFQ will process traffic based on the queue weight; you can configure each queue’s weight, where the sum of all the
queues’ weights must be 100. When surfing the Internet, the system will do traffic shaping based on the uplink and downlink
speed. The classification rules can be used to classify traffic to different queues, then SPQ or WFQ will do QoS based on the
queue’s priority or weight.
The following parameters will be available for configuration:
Enable QoS: This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for
better performance and experience with online games and
other interactive applications, such as VoIP.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-808L. Read the
following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different
operating system, any screenshots on your computer may appear different to the following examples.
1. Why can’t 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 on 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 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.
D-Link DIR-808L User Manual

Section 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 re-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.

3. Why can’t 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, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could be
another computer, or a URL.
• Click on Start and then click Run.
• Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8 users type in cmd and press Enter (or click OK).
• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472
You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you

Section 6 - Troubleshooting
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 we’re 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 if you have not changed the default setting). 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 the site that you were trying to visit. If changing the MTU has not resolved the problem, continue changing
the MTU in increments of ten.

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, such as two or more wireless network Cardbus adapters.
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 laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc
mode to communicate.
