network no matter where you go. Now you can monitor and manage your home network right from your laptop, iPhone®, iPad®,
or Android™ device. mydlink-enabled routers can be configured to send an email to keep you informed anywhere, anytime
when new devices are connecting 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.
SharePort Mobile technology lets you take advantage of the USB 3.0 port found on the back of your DIR-868L. Plug in a USB
storage drive and you can use the SharePort Mobile app for iOS and Android to access files, stream videos, view photos, or
listen to music on your laptop or mobile devices. Plug in a printer and you can use the SharePort Mobile Plus app to share that
printer with all of your devices.
The DIR-868L Wireless AC1750 Dual-Band Gigabit Cloud Router USB 3.0 provides incredible speeds, smart antenna technology,
fast ports, cloud features, and terrific security features. It also features an innovative design and easy installation options.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Features
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DIR-868L can provide up to a full 1750Mbps* wireless connection with
concurrent 801.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients . It also operates on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to
allow separation of traffic so users can participate in high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming, online
gaming, and real-time audio, without affecting low-priority traffic like email and web surfing.
• Cloud Features - The DIR-868L support the QRS Mobile app to setup the router using a mobile device. It is also
mydlink-enabled so you can remotely access and mange your DIR-868L from a mobile device. SharePort Mobile
can be used to share files, stream videos, view photos, and play music. SharePort Plus lets you share a printer.
• Compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n Devices - The DIR-868L is still fully compatible with the 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g
and 802.11a standards, so it can connect with existing 802.11n, 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a wireless devices.
• Advanced Firewall 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-868L can pass through VPN sessions. It supports
multiple and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-868L can securely access
corporate networks.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DIR-868L lets you control
what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s
server. Configure your router to your specific settings within minutes.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n 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, or in the attic or 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 the 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 D-Link wireless 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 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 D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 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 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle
appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) 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 make a difference. 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 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or 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.

QoS Engine
The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are
disabled and application priority is not classified automatically.
Enable QoS This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better
Engine: performance and experience with online games and other
interactive applications, such as VoIP.
Automatic Uplink This option is enabled by default when the QoS Engine option
Speed: is enabled. This option will allow your router to automatically
determine the uplink speed of your Internet connection.
Measured Uplink
Speed: This displays the detected uplink speed.
Manual Uplink The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to
Speed: your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISP’s often speed as a
download/upload pair. For example, 1.5Mbits/284Kbits. Using
this example, you would enter 284. Alternatively you can test
your uplink speed with a service such as speedtest.net.
QoS Engine Rules: A QoS Engine Rule identifies a specific message flow and
assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, automatic
classification will be adequate, and specific QoS Engine Rules
will not be required.
The QoS Engine supports overlaps between rules, where more
than one rule can match for a specific message flow. If more
than one rule is found to match the rule with the highest
priority will be used.
Name: Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.
Priority: The priority of the message flow is entered here -- 1 receives
the highest priority (most urgent) and 255 receives the lowest priority (least urgent).
