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

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-862L. Read the 
following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP.  If you have a dierent 
operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based conguration 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 
dierent cable or connect to a dierent 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 conguration pages. Check the help les included 
with your rewall software for more information on disabling or conguring it.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting
•  Congure 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 conguration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 
seconds and try accessing the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent 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 

137D-Link DIR-862L 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 congure 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 conguration page 
for the device. 
• Click on Setup and then click Manual Congure.  
• 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 oce environments, and public areas such as airports, coee shops 
and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more eciently. 
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial 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?
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 oce 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 aord. 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 dierent 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.

140D-Link DIR-862L User Manual
Appendix 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 
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? 
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 it’s for home or oce, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Where is wireless used? 
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or in the oce. 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 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, 
coee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.
A wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing one 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 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 signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
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.
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.
