Introduction
The DKT-883 Covr Wi-Fi System is a revolutionary wireless networking solution comprised of the DIR-883 AC2600 Wi-Fi Router and DAP-1655 
AC1300 Wi-Fi Range Extender. Covr builds a small-scale mesh-like wireless network which blankets your home or small oce in high-speed wireless 
coverage, without dead spots or service interruptions. D-Link created the Covr Wi-Fi System to overcome the limitations of wireless technology 
and to satisfy the demand for Wi-Fi everywhere. Until now, most home networks have been dominated by a single device providing all Internet 
connectivity and wireless coverage. For larger homes and oces this is inadequate, leading to dead spots, poor reception, and slow speeds. The 
Covr Wi-Fi System eliminates these problems with multiple devices to share Internet and provide seamless wireless using technology never seen 
before in the consumer realm.
The Covr Wi-Fi System continually monitors your device’s wireless signal strength to each Covr device, automatically connecting to the strongest 
signal available. Thanks to revolutionary technology, the Covr Wi-Fi System handles the transfer seamlessly, allowing you to walk from room to room 
without dropping phone calls or freezing streaming video. Plus, each Covr device is equipped with dual-band radios and intelligent band steering, 
automatically placing your device on the optimal wireless band depending on network trac conditions. With Covr all this happens automatically, 
without bothering you to change networks or enter passwords.
The Covr DIR-883 AC2600 Wi-Fi Router shares your Internet connection over a blazing-fast Gigabit Wireless AC connection of up to 2600 Mbps (Up 
to 1766 Mbps 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 800 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wireless N)1 to each DAP-1655 AC1300 Wi-Fi Range Extender at up to1300 Mbps (Up 
to 866 Mbps 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 400 Mbps 2.4 GHz Wireless N)1 using advanced AC beamforming technology to signicantly outperform 
802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. The DIR-883 is equipped with one Gigabit WAN/Internet port and four Gigabit LAN ports to provide speeds 
up to 10 times faster than standard 10/100 ports and the DAP-1655 has two Gigabit LAN ports allowing you to connect Ethernet devices or link to 
the DIR-883 as an access point. 
The Covr Wi-Fi System is stylish and designed to t a modern household. The DIR-883 features a slim and sleek design, with a minimal number of 
indicator LEDs to not draw attention. The DAP-1655 is small and unobtrusive, using internal antennas allowing it hide in plain sight while providing 
high-speed wireless connectivity. They connect to each other using wireless or wired Ethernet to provide approximately 280 square meters (3,000 
square feet) of wireless coverage.  The Covr Wi-Fi System creates the best networking experience to date.  The DIR-883 prepares your home to become 
a Connected Home by bringing Wi-Fi to places your old signal can’t reach. A stronger Wi-Fi signal means you can install more wireless surveillance 
cameras, baby monitors, sensors, and alarms in the places where you need them.
The DIR-883's Smart Connect Technology makes connecting to wireless networks easy by eliminating the confusion of multiple networks. Ever since 
the introduction of 5 GHz multi-band wireless technology, users have had to guess whether the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band network would provide 
them with better range and speed. Smart Connect simplies this by only presenting a single wireless network for you to connect to. Behind the 
scenes, when a connection is initiated, the DIR-883's advanced algorithms determine the best band for your device to connect to, automatically 
distributing devices to the optimal band, thereby ensuring a faster, more reliable, and hassle-free experience for all of your users and devices.

Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
•  Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage. 
•  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 Internet Service Provider (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 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.
This section will walk you through the installation of the Covr Wi-Fi System.

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 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). 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 (1.5 feet) thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be 
almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks 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 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 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) 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.

QoS allows you to prioritize Internet trac to ensure a better web browsing experience 
in situations where bandwidth is limited or large numbers of devices are in use. The QoS 
Engine allows you to prioritize Internet trac by selecting to either Manage by Application 
or Manage by Device. The drag and drop interface allows you to arrange which trac is 
given higher priority. 
When using Manage by Application, you can prioritize trac across all of your devices. For 
example, you can give streaming media a higher priority than le downloads.
When using Manage by Devices, you can create a device hierarchy to give a higher priority 
to specic devices. For example, you can give a desktop computer a more responsive Internet

Applications
 
Manage by Application lets you prioritize specic kinds of trac across all connected 
devices to optimize your Internet experience. Under Applications, there are six types of trac 
cards: Streaming Media, Online Chat & Mail, Games, Web & Social Network, File Transfer & 
P2P, and Others. If some are o-screen, you can use the arrow icons on either side of the 
page to scroll through the cards.
One application can be assigned Highest priority.
Two applications can be assigned High priority.
Three applications can be assigned Medium priority.
If no applications types are explicitly assigned a priority, they will all be treated with equal 
priority. If some devices are not assigned a priority and others are, the unassigned application 
types will be treated with the lowest priority.
To assign a priority level to an application type, drag the desired card from the Applications 
list over an empty slot and release the mouse button. The card will remain in the slot. If 
you want to remove a priority assignment from an application type and return it to the 
Applications list, click the x icon in the top right of the card.
For example, if you are experiencing poor quality VoIP phone calls or video chat due to 
excessive downloads, you can use the conguration displayed to the right to prioritize your 
calls and chats over other application types.
Be sure to keep your router rmware updated as new application trac denitions are

One device can be assigned Highest priority.
Two devices can be assigned High priority.
Six devices can be assigned Medium priority.
If no devices are explicitly assigned a priority, all devices are all treated with equal priority. 
If only some devices are assigned priorities, all unassigned devices are treated with the 
lowest priority.
To assign a priority level to a device, click and drag the device card from the Connected 
Clients list over an empty slot and release the mouse button. The card will remain in the slot.
If you want to remove a priority assignment from a device and return it to the All
Devices list, click the x icon in the top right of the device card. 
In the example to the right Your PC is assigned highest priority, Your Home Theater PC and 
Your Mobile Phone are assigned high priority, Your Server is assigned medium priority, and 
the Excessive Downloader's trac is assigned to the lowest priority queue. In this scenario, 
the router allocates bandwidth to your Your PC rst, then Your Home Theater PC and Your 
Mobile Phone, and then Your Server. Any remaining bandwidth is given to the Excessive 
Downloader.

Quick VPN setup. If your router is assigned an IP address from your ISP using DHCP, it may 
frequently change, requiring clients credentials to be set up again and a simple DDNS address 
will be easier than an IP address.

This router is equipped with D-Link's Quick VPN technology. Virtual Private Networking (VPN) creates a connection between devices across the 
Internet. Using Quick VPN allows you to securely connect your computer or mobile device to places with free, untrusted Wi-Fi hotspots in places 
like coee shops and hotels by encrypting and relaying it through your home Internet connection. This extra 'hop' reduces the chances of hackers 
stealing your information, such as logins, passwords, and credit card numbers. When traveling, Quick VPN lets you watch sports and use video 
streaming services without experiencing blackouts or ltering. You can surf the whole Internet unltered and unblocked, just as you would at home.

Important Information
•  Quick VPN only provides an added layer of security against specic types of snooping attacks and does not guarantee complete data 
integrity or protection. Only trac in the tunnel between your router and device will be encrypted, WAN trac will leave your D-Link 
Quick VPN enabled router unencrypted.
•  Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. It is 
recommended that you change these credentials periodically.
•  A device connected via Quick VPN tunnel may experience lower data throughput and higher latency due to a number of factors 
including: Internet conditions, local and remote network Wi-Fi and WAN bandwidth limitations, and increased latency. This may 
negatively impact real time voice and video communication.
•  Quick VPN supports up to ve concurrent VPN client sessions using the same login and password are supported. Quick VPN uses 
L2TP/IPsec with MSCHAPv2, PAP, or CHAP authentication.
•  You device may warn you that your information may be intercepted, since you control the Quick VPN server, you may ignore this.
•  UDP Ports 500, 4500, 1701 and IP Port 50 must be open in order for Quick VPN to work.
•  L2TP/IPsec VPN usage may be restricted in some countries and on some networks. If you have trouble using Quick VPN on some 
networks, but not others and are not violating network access rules, try contacting your ISP or network administrator.
•  Devices connected via Quick VPN are assigned addresses on a separate subnet (ex. 192.168.1.x). Some network resources may be 
unavailable when connecting via Quick VPN.
•  If your Internet connection uses DHCP, it is strongly recommended that you rst set up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), such as D-Link DDNS, 
to eliminate the need to recongure client devices in the event your ISP assigns you a new WAN IP address.
The following instructions explain and help you to congure your D-Link Quick VPN enabled router and devices to create a Virtual Private Network 
(VPN). This feature is provided for advanced users who wish to connect remotely and use their router's Internet connection to add a layer of security 
while using untrusted networks. Congure the Quick VPN Server on your router rst and then set up client devices to connect through your router's 
WAN connection.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-883. 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.
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® 10 or higher
  - Mozilla Firefox 28 or higher
  - Google™ Chrome 28 or higher
  - Apple Safari 6 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 8 - Troubleshooting
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 

124D-Link DIR-883 User Manual
Section 8 - 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 (sometimes 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 on 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.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
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 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 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.
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 

127D-Link DIR-883 User Manual
Appendix A - Wireless Basics
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

128D-Link DIR-883 User Manual
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 USB 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 
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.

129D-Link DIR-883 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 DIR-883 wireless network USB 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 USB adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-hoc mode to communicate.

Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP 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.

Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network 
or the LAN IP address on your router. 
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a 
number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set 
the Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (I.E. 192.168.0.1). 
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not 
needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the dierent levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-883 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.
