D-Link DIR-846 User Manual -3- Introduction The D-Link DIR-846 is a wireless IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3x faster speeds than 802.11n while staying backward compatible with 802.11n/g/b/a devices. This means you can connect the DIR-846 to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players. You can create a secure wireless network to share photos, files, music, videos, printers, and network storage. Powered by 802.11ac technology and equipped with four external antennas, this router provides superior wireless coverage for larger homes and offices, or for users running bandwidth-intensive applications. The DIR-846 also includes a 4-port 100/1000 Fast Ethernet switch that connects to wired devices for uninterrupted video calling and faster file transfers. D-Link Intelligent QoS Technology helps to increase network efficiency by analyzing wired and wireless network traffic and prioritizing it in order of importance. This way, important network traffic such as VoIP and video streaming, take priority over background network traffic such as a file downloads and print tasks, ensuring you have optimal network performance. The DIR-846 supports the latest wireless security features to help prevent unauthorized access, be it from over a wireless network or the Internet. Support for WPATM and WPA2TM standards ensure that you will be able to use the best possible encryption regardless of your client devices. In addition, this router is equipped with a dual-active firewall (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks over the Internet. D-Link DIR-846 User Manual -4- Features � Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-846 provides up to 300 Mbps wireless connection in 2.4 GHz band, and up to 867 Mbps* wireless connection in 5 GHz with other 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio. The performance of this 802.11ac wireless router gives you the freedom of wireless networking at speeds 3x faster than 802.11n. � Compatible with 802.11n/g/b/a Wireless Devices - The DIR-846 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n, so it can connect with existing 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n PCI, USB, and Card Bus adapters. � Advanced Firewall Features - The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network management features including: � IP Filtering - Easily applied content filtering based on MAC address IP address. � Parental control - These filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes. � User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DIR-846 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, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac 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.

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 Internet Service Provider (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 Interne. D-Link DIR-846 User Manual -8- 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 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 2.4 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. D-Link DIR-846 User Manual -9- Manual Setup 1. Turn off and unplug your cable or DSL broadband modem. This is required. 2. Position your router close to your modem and a computer. Place the router in an open area of your intended work area for better wireless coverage. 3. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your modem (or existing router if upgrading) that is connected to your computer. Plug it into the LAN port labeled 1 on the back of your router. The router is now connected to your computer. 4. Plug one end of the included blue Ethernet cable that came with your router into the yellow port labeled INTERNET on the back of the router. Plug the other end of this cable into the Ethernet port on your modem. 5. Reconnect the power adapter to your cable or DSL broadband modem and wait for two minutes. 6. Connect the supplied power adapter into the power port on the back of the router and then plug it into a power outlet or surge protector. Press the power button and verify that the power LED is lit. Allow 1 minute for the router to boot up. 7. If you are connecting to a broadband service that uses a dynamic connection (not PPPoE), you may be online already. Try opening a web browser and connecting to a website. If the Internet LED indicator is lit, indicating a connection on the Internet/WAN port, then the router should be able to connect to the Internet.
