Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link’s DWR-961 4G LTE Router allows you to access mobile broadband networks from anywhere. Once connected, you
can check e-mail, surf the web, and stream media. Use your carrier’s SIM/UICC card to share your 4G Internet connection
through a secure wireless network or by using any of the four 10/100 Ethernet ports.
The DWR-961 lets you connect to your 4G mobile connection with fast downlink speeds of up to 100 Mbps and
uplink speeds up to 50 Mbps, giving you the speed to ensure fast, responsive Internet access. Surf the web with ease and
stream music and video over the Internet to your PCs and mobile devices.
The DWR-961 utilizes dual-active firewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks across the Internet. Industry standard
WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption keeps your wireless network secure and your traffic safe, allowing you to share your 4G
connection without worrying about unauthorized users accessing your network.
The DWR-961 can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. It can be configured through almost any web browser
without the need for special software. This router makes it possible to stay connected, even when conventional broadband
services are unavailable.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-961 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that
the quantity, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may limit the range of the wireless
signal. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office. The key to maximizing
the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s
range from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).
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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways and drywall. Materials such as
glass, metal, brick, insulation, concrete, and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal
doors, and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect on range.
4. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base
transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as ceiling
fans, fluorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Config Status: If this is set to CONFIGURED, the router will be marked as “already
configured” to computers that try to use WPS configuration, such
as Windows 7’s Connect to a network wizard. You can click the
Release button to change the status to UNCONFIGURED to allow
for WPS configuration of the router.
If this is set to UNCONFIGURED, you can click the Set button to
change the status to CONFIGURED to block WPS configuration of
the router.
Disable WPS-PIN Enable this option to prevent clients from connecting to the router
Method: using the PIN method. If this option is enabled, clients must use
the push-button method to connect.

Wi-Fi Advanced
This page contains settings which can negatively affect the performance of your router if configured improperly. Do not change these settings
unless you are already familiar with them or have been instructed to make the change by one of our support personnel.
Beacon Interval: Specify a value for the beacon interval. Beacons are packets sent
by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. 100 is the
default setting and is recommended.
Transmit Power: Set the transmit power of the antennas.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. If
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification
should be made.
Fragmentation: The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets
exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before
transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
DTIM Interval: Set the interval for DTIM. A Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM) is a countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. The default interval
is 1.
WMM Capable: WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a QoS (Quality of Service) system for
your wireless network. Enable this option to improve the quality of
video and voice applications for your wireless clients.
TX Rates: Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of wireless
adapters on your wireless network. It is strongly recommended to
keep this setting to Best.

Short GI: Check this box to reduce the guard interval to 400 ns. This can
increase the throughput rate provided that the delay spread of the
connection is also low. However, it can also increase error rate in
some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency
reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation.
HT 20/40 Enable this option to reduce interference from other wireless
Coexistence: networks in your area. If the channel width is operating at 40 MHz
and there is another wireless network’s channel over-lapping
and causing interference, the router will automatically change to
20 MHz.

DHCP
The DWR-961 has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server. The DHCP server assigns IP addresses to devices on the network that
request them. By default, the DHCP Server is enabled on the device. The DHCP address pool contains a range of IP addresses, which are automatically
assigned to the clients on the network.
Enable DHCP Select this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.
Server:
DHCP IP Address Enter the range of IPs for the DHCP server to use to assign IP
Range: addresses to devices on your network. These values will represent
the last octet of the IP addresses in the pool.
DHCP Lease Time: Enter the lease time for IP address assignments.
Primary DNS IP Enter the primary DNS IP address that will be assigned to DHCP
Address: clients.
Secondary DNS IP Enter the secondary DNS IP address that will be assigned to DHCP
Address: clients.
DHCP Click DHCP Reservation to assign a dedicated IP to a specified

Select a DHCP client and click Copy to, or enter the MAC address
and IP address manually, to assign the IP address to the MAC
address. Click Enable to enable the rule.

Applications
Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. These applications may
have difficulty working through NAT (Network Address Translation). Applications allows some of these applications to work with the DWR-961 by
opening ports after detecting traffic being sent through a trigger port.
Popular Select from a list of popular applications. You can select a service,
Applications: select a rule ID, then click the Copy to button to copy the default
settings for that service to the specified rule ID.

DMZ
Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the Internet for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer, you can enable
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the Internet. This is not recommended for normal use.
Enable SPI: Enabling Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) helps to prevent cyber
attacks by validating that the traffic passing through the session
conforms to the protocol.
Enable DMZ: If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you
can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application
on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that
computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only
recommended as a last resort.
DMZ IP Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want
to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer
obtains its IP address automatically using DHCP, be sure to make
a static reservation on the LAN > DHCP > DHCP Reservervation
page so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.

previous settings.
