Section 2 - Installation Installation This section will walk you through the installation of the Covr Wi-Fi System. 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. • Configure 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.
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.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Setup 1. Position the DIR-883 Covr AC2600 Wi-Fi Router and DAP-1655 Covr AC1300 Wi-Fi Range Extender near your Internet-connected modem. 2. Attach each of the antennas to the router by twisting them on in a clockwise direction. Fully extend the antennas to provide optimal wireless coverage. 3. Turn off and unplug the power and Ethernet cable to your cable or DSL broadband modem. This is required. In some cases, you may need to turn it off for up to five minutes.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Setup (continued) 4. Use the included Ethernet cable to connect your modem to the port labeled INTERNET on the router. 5. Connect the supplied power adapters to the router and extender. Press the power buttons, and verify that the power LEDs are on. Note: This unit is to be used with power supply model TBA.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Setup (continued) 6. If you are configuring the DIR-883 wirelessly from a PC, connect to a Wi-Fi network printed on the included Wi-Fi configuration card. You can also find the Wi-Fi network names and passwords printed on the label attached to the bottom of your router.
Section 2 - Installation Completing Setup There are several different ways you can configure your router to connect to the Internet and connect to your clients: • D-Link Setup Wizard - This wizard will launch when you log into the router for the first time, refer to Setup Wizard on page 17. • Manual Setup - Log into the router and manually configure your router, refer to Configuration on page 21.

Wireless Icon The utility will display any available wireless networks in your area.
Section 7 - Connecting a Wireless Client to your Router Highlight the wireless connection with Wi-Fi name (SSID) you would like to connect to and click the Connect button. If you get a good signal but cannot access the Internet, check your TCP/IP settings for your wireless adapter. Refer to the Networking Basics section in this manual for more information. The following window appears while your computer tries to connect to the router.
Section 7 - Connecting a Wireless Client to your Router Enter the same security key or passphrase (Wi-Fi password) that is on your router and click Connect. You can also connect by pushing the WPS button on the router. It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless network. If the connection fails, please verify that the security settings are correct. The key or passphrase must be exactly the same as the one on the wireless router.
Section 7 - Connecting a Wireless Client to your Router Windows Vista® Windows Vista® users may use the built-in wireless utility. If you are using another company’s wireless utility, please refer to the user manual of your wireless adapter for help connecting to a wireless network. Most wireless utilities will have a “site survey” option similar to the Windows Vista® utility as seen below. If you receive the Wireless Networks Detected bubble, click on the center of the bubble to access the utility.
Section 7 - Connecting a Wireless Client to your Router WPA/WPA2 It is recommended that you enable wireless security (WPA/WPA2) on your wireless router or access point before configuring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an existing network, you will need to know the security key or passphrase being used. Open the Windows Vista® Wireless Utility by right-clicking on the wireless computer icon in your system tray (lower right corner of screen). Select Connect to a network.
Section 7 - Connecting a Wireless Client to your Router Enter the same security key or passphrase (Wi-Fi password) that is on your router and click Connect. It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless network. If the connection fails, please verify that the security settings are correct. The key or passphrase must be exactly the same as the one on the wireless router.
Section 8 - Troubleshooting 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 different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to these examples. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.
Section 8 - Troubleshooting • Configure 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.
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 find 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.
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 find your MTU, you can now configure your router with the proper MTU size.
