that connects Ethernet wired devices for high-speed wired connectivity.
With some routers, all wired and wireless traic, including VoIP, Video Streaming, Online Gaming, and Web browsing are 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 traic are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. You
can also assign priorities to diferent data streams to ensure that the traic most important to you recieves optimum bandwidth.
The DIR-810L 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 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, or in an attic or garage.
Before you Begin
• Please conigure 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 of 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.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DIR-810L Wireless AC750 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 afect your wireless signal. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative
efect 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 (ish
tanks), mirrors, ile 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 2.4GHz 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
2.4GHz 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.

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section discusses the diferent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-810L ofers 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-speciic MAC address, which is relatively simple to be snifed 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 Control Protocol. The DIR-810L 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-810L. 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.
Server: Uncheck to disable this function.
DHCP IP Address Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP
Range: server’s 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 conlict.
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
Broadcast: IP addresses 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 of the broadcast lag 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 traic on the LAN.
NetBIOS Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to ofer NetBIOS coniguration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to

of operation. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is generally the preferred mode if you
have conigured WINS servers. M-Node (default), this indicates a Mixed-Mode of operation. First 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
operations to the conigured WINS servers. You must have conigured 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 that you try M-Node operation irst. This setting has no efect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN

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 classiied automatically. The QoS section contains a queuing
mechanism, traic shaping, and classiication. It supports two kinds of queuing mechanisms: Strict Priority Queue (SPQ)
and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ). SPQ will process traic based on traic priority. Queue1 has the highest priority and
Queue4 has the lowest priority. WFQ will process traic based on the queue weight. Users can conigure each queue’s
weight. The sum of all the queue’s weights must be 100. When suring the Internet, the system will do traic shaping
based on the uplink and downlink speed. The classiication rules can be used to classify traic to diferent queues, then
SPQ or WFQ will do QoS based on the queue’s priority or weight.
The following parameters will be available for coniguration:
