Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important for proper operation and best performance.
Note: This installation section is written for users who are setting up their home Internet service with the DVA-2800 VDSL2 Wireless AC1600 4-Port
Gigabit Modem Router with VoIP for the rst time. If you are replacing an existing DSL modem and/or router, you may need to modify these steps.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
