Page 13: Choosing An Operation Mode
Section 2 - Choosing an Operation Mode Choosing an Operation Mode The DIR-895L is equipped with a software mode switch to give you more flexibility in how to configure your network. You may choose to operate this device in either Router Mode or Extender Mode.
Page 14: Router Mode
Router Mode In Router Mode, the DIR-895L AC5300 Ultra Wi-Fi Router operates as the central device of your network. This is the most common type of installation and is the factory default setting suitable for most users. The DIR-895L connects to your cable modem, DSL modem, or other Internet source and shares your Internet connection with your wired and wireless devices.
Page 15: Extender Mode
In Access Point Mode, the DIR-895L works with your existing networking equipment to provide Wi-Fi for parts of your home or office that may have poor or no reception. You may use the DIR-895L as a wireless access point by connecting it to an uplink network via an Ethernet cable. This can be useful if you already have an existing router without built-in wireless capabilities or if your existing wireless signal can’t bridge the distance.
Page 16 Create a Wireless Network using Ethernet The DIR-895L operates as an Access Point when the mode switch is in the Extender position, the Existing Network is configured as Ethernet using the web configuration utility, and an Ethernet cable is connected from the WAN Ethernet Port to an uplink network.
Page 17 Use Wireless to Connect Ethernet Devices The DIR-895L operates as a Media Bridge when the mode switch is in the Extender position, the Existing Network is configured as Media Bridge using the web configuration utility, and is connected wirelessly to an uplink network.
Page 18: Installation - Router
Section 3 - Installation - Router Installation - Router This section will walk you through the installation of the DIR-895L as a router using Router Mode. 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.
Page 19: Wireless Installation Considerations
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.
Page 20: Hardware Setup
Hardware Setup 1. The DIR-895L is designed to give you the fastest, most stable network connection possible. In order to maximize performance, fully extend the antennas to provide optimal wireless coverage. Keep the router in an open area for better wireless coverage. Inspect the mode switch to ensure that it is in the factory default ROUTER position.
Page 21 6. Connect the supplied power adapter to the router and a power outlet, press the power button, and verify that the power LED is lit. Allow 1 minute for the router to boot up. DIR-895L Modem Note: This unit is to be used with power supply model DA-60N12. D-Link DIR-895L User Manual...
