3D-Link DIR-842 User ManualSection 1 - Product OverviewIntroductionThe D-Link DIR-842 is a IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3x faster speeds than 802.11n while staying backward compatible with 802.11n/g/b/a devices. Connect the DIR-842 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, les, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by the 802.11ac technology and equipped with four external antennas, this router provides superior wireless coverage for larger homes and oces, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The DIR-842 also includes a 4-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch that connects to wired devices for uninterrupted video calling and faster le transfers.D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology helps to increase network eciency by analyzing wired and wireless network trac and prioritizing it in order of importance. This way, important network trac such as VoIP and video streaming, take priority over background network trac such as a le downloads and print tasks, ensuring you have optimal network performance.The DIR-842 supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a wireless network PSUIF*OUFSOFU4VQQPSUGPS81"BOE81"TUBOEBSETFOTVSFUIBUZPVXJMMCFBCMFUPVTFUIFCFTUQPTTJCMFFODSZQUJPOSFHBSEMFTTPGZPVSDMJFOUEFWJDFT*OBEEJUJPOUIJTSPVUFSJTFRVJQQFEXJUIBEVBMBDUJWFöSFXBMM41*BOE/"5UPQSFWFOUQPUFOUJBMattacks over the Internet.

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.Wireless Basics

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.

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.TipsHere are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.$FOUSBMJ[FZPVSSPVUFSPSBDDFTTQPJOU 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.
95D-Link DIR-842 User ManualAppendix A - Wireless BasicsSecurity 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. There are basically two modes of networking: t Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.t "E)PD – 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.
