Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Now you can monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iOS, or Android™ device. This cloud-enabled
router can be congured to notify you whenever new devices are connected to your network or unwanted access is detected.
Monitor in realtime 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.
The D-Link DIR-810L 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-810L to a Cable or DSL modem and provide
high-speed Internet access to multiple wireless clients. Powered by the latest draft 802.11ac technology, this router provides
superior wireless coverage for small to medium sized homes. The DIR-810L also includes a 4-port 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch
that connects Ethernet wired devices for high-speed wired connectivity.
With some routers, all wired and wireless trac, 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 trac are analyzed and separated into multiple data streams. You
can also assign priorities to dierent data streams to ensure that the trac 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.

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-810L 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 ltering based on MAC Address, URL, and/or Domain
Name.
• Filter Scheduling - These lters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of
hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions - The DIR-810L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-810L can securely access
corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-810L guides you
through the process of setting up a customized, secure wireless network, allowing you to congure your router
to your specic settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n and draft 802.11ac 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
Before you Begin
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.
• Please congure 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 o 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-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 aect your wireless signal. 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.
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.

6. Connect the supplied power adaptor into the power port on the back of the router and then plug it into a power
outlet or surge protector. Press the power button and verify that the power LED is lit. Allow 1 minute for the
router to boot up.
7. If you are connecting to a Broadband service that uses a dynamic connection (not PPPoE), you may be online
already. Try opening a web browser and enter a web site. A solid light on the Internet LED indicates connection
on the Internet port and the router can connect to the Internet. If the LED is orange, a connection is present but
the router cannot connect to the Internet.

Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced wireless encryption
method used today. This is the recommended wireless security option.
WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Personal (PSK) and Enter-
prise (EAP). Personal requires only the use of a passphrase (Pre-Shared
Key) for security.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this op-
tion if the clients that will be used with the
router only support the older standard.
WPA2 is the newer implementation of the
stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard.
With the WPA2 option, the router tries
WPA2 rst, 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 secu-
rity.
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 Interval: Enter the amount of time before the group
key used for broadcast and multicast data
is changed.
Pre-Shared Key: Enter the password to be used for the wireless network here. This password is required by wireless clients for them
to be able to connect to the wireless network successfully.

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section discusses the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-810L oers the
following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) • Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • 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.
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-specic MAC address, which is relatively simple to be snied 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.
Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.
Uncheck to disable this function.
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP
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 conict.
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease
time in minutes.
If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their
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 o the broadcast ag 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 trac on the LAN.
Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to oer NetBIOS conguration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to
discover all other computers within the network, e.g. within Network Neighborhood.

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 congured WINS servers. You must have congured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working

QoS Engine
The QoS Engine option helps improve your network performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS En-
gine settings are disabled and application priority is not classied automatically. The QoS section contains a queuing
mechanism, trac shaping, and classication. It supports two kinds of queuing mechanisms: Strict Priority Queue (SPQ)
and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ). SPQ will process trac based on trac priority. Queue1 has the highest priority and
Queue4 has the lowest priority. WFQ will process trac based on the queue weight. Users can congure each queue’s
weight. The sum of all the queue’s weights must be 100. When surng the Internet, the system will do trac shaping
based on the uplink and downlink speed. The classication rules can be used to classify trac to dierent queues, then
SPQ or WFQ will do QoS based on the queue’s priority or weight.
The following parameters will be available for conguration:
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.
Uplink Speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-810L. Read the
following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a dierent
operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based conguration 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
dierent cable or connect to a dierent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o, the link light may not be
on.
• Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate,
Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP rewall may block access to the conguration pages. Check the help les included
with your rewall software for more information on disabling or conguring it.
134D-Link DIR-810L User Manual
Section 6 - Troubleshooting
• Congure 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 conguration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30
seconds and try accessing the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent 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 nd 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® 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, 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
136D-Link DIR-810L User Manual
Section 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 we’re working with (1452+28=1480).
Once you nd your MTU, you can now congure 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 conguration page
for the device.
• Click on Setup and then click Manual Congure.
• To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU eld 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.

Appendix A - 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 oce environments, and public areas such as airports,
coee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more
eciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial 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.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the 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 oce network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
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 aord. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one 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 dierent types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, 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
as seen in the picture, 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.
139D-Link DIR-810L User Manual
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to
30 feet away.
Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t 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?
Wireless technology as become so popular and is becoming more and more widely used. As a result, whether it’s for home,
oce, or business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.
Home
• Gives everyone at home broadband access
• Surf the web, check email, instant message, etc.
• Gets rid of the cables around the house
• Simple and easy to use
Small Oce and Home Oce
• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at oce
• Remotely access your oce network from home
• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
• No need to dedicate oce space

Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or oce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public
places is usually called “hotspots”.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations
like: Airports, Hotels, Coee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.
That’s why we’ve 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 to 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 would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.
Security
Don’t 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. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.
141D-Link DIR-810L User Manual
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
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.
