Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
•  Congure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your Internet connection. Verify that it 
is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.
•  If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so the router can 
work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.
•  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 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 Internet Service 
Provider (ISP) to change connection types (USB to Ethernet). 
•  If connecting to a DSL modem, make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service 
Provider handy. This information is likely to include your DSL account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also 
supply you with additional WAN conguration settings which might be necessary to establish a connection. 
•  If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to 
label each cable or take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes. 
•  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.
•  If you are using this device to extend the range of your existing wireless network, you may need to use trial and 
error to determine an acceptable placement location.
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, attic, or garage.

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 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 (0.5 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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 2.4 GHz 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 2.4 
GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the 
phone is not in use.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-869. 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 these 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 or higher
- Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or higher
- Google™ Chrome 8 or higher
- Apple Safari 4 or 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 ZoneAlarm, BLACKICE, 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. 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, 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 

98D-Link DIR-869 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 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?
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 oce 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 aord. D-Link has all the products you need to build your 
network.
How does wireless work? 
Wireless works similarly to how cordless phones work, through radio signals that 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 dierent types of wireless networksl: 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 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, university and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other 
outdoor venues.

101D-Link DIR-869 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. This 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 in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, oce, 
business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.
Home Uses/Benets
  • 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 Oce and Home Oce Uses/Benets
  • Stay on top of everything at home as you would at oce
  • Remotely access your oce network from home
  • Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
  • No need to dedicate oce space

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Where is wireless used? 
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or 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 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 the Internet from remote locations 
like: airports, hotels, coee 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 signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.
Security 

103D-Link DIR-869 User Manual
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Don’t let your 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 the product manual for detail information on how to set it up.
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 DIR-869 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.

server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.)
At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the 
default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter 
installation, security settings, and the settings on 
your router. Some rewall software programs may 
block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-869 oers the following 
types of security:
  • WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)       • WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
  • 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 (Wired Equivalent Privacy). 
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-specic MAC address, which is relatively simple 
to be snied 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.
