DIR-X1530 AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit Router
User Manual Overview
CHA TER 2. OVERVIEW
General Information
The DIR-X1530 device is a wireless dual band gigabit router with a built-in 3-port switch It
provides a fast and simple way to create a wireless and wired network at home or in an office
You are able to connect the wireless router DIR-X1530 to a cable or DSL modem or to a private
Ethernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to successfully fulfill a wide range of
professional tasks The built-in 3-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers,
game consoles, and other devices to your network Any Ethernet port of the device can be used to
connect to a private Ethernet line
Support of Wi-Fi 6 (802 11ax) standard provides faster speeds, greater capacity, and less network
congestion for high-performance device-dense environments It ensures connection of more devices
and prevents weakening wireless connectivity by wall obstruction and interference from other
appliances
Using the DIR-X1530 device, you are able to quickly create a high-speed wireless network at home
or in your office, which lets computers and mobile devices access the Internet virtually anywhere
(within the operational range of your wireless network) Simultaneous activity of 2 4GHz band and
5GHz band allows performing a wide range of tasks The router can operate as a base station for
connecting wireless devices of the standards 802 11a, 802 11b, 802 11g, 802 11n, 802 11ac, and
802 11ax (at the wireless connection rate up to 1500Mbps1)
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2/WPA3), MAC address filtering, WPS, WMM
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on If needed,
for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the router’s WLAN by pressing the
button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay online
Multi-user MIMO technology allows to distribute the router's resources to let multiple wireless
clients use the Wi-Fi network efficiently, keeping high rates for HD media streaming, lag-free
gaming, and fast transfer of large files
Transmit Beamforming technology allows to flexibly change the antennas' radiation pattern and to
redistribute the signal directly to wireless devices connected to the router
Support of guest Wi-Fi network allows you to create a separate wireless network with individual
security settings and maximum rate limitation Devices connected to the guest network will be able
to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's LAN
The wireless router DIR-X1530 includes a built-in firewall The advanced security functions
minimize threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access
to unwanted websites for users of your LAN
The SSH protocol support provides more secure remote configuration and management of the
router due to encryption of all transmitted traffic, including passwords
1 Up to 300Mbps for 2 4GHz and up to 1201Mbps for 5GHz
Page 6 of 254

DIR-X1530 AX1500 Wi-Fi 6 Gigabit Router
User Manual Overview
In addition, the router supports IPsec and allows to create secure VPN tunnels Support of the
IKEv2 protocol allows to provide simplified message exchange and use asymmetric authentication
engine upon configuration of an IPsec tunnel
The router also supports the SkyDNS web content filtering service, which provides more settings
and opportunities for safer Internet experience for home users of all ages and for professional
activities of corporate users
Now the schedules are also implemented; they can be applied to the rules and settings of the
firewall and used to reboot the router at the specified time or every specified time period and to
enable/disable the wireless network and the Wi-Fi filter
The new ad blocking function effectively blocks advertisements which appear during web surfing
You can configure the settings of the wireless router DIR-X1530 via the user-friendly web-based
interface (the interface is available in two languages – in Russian and in English)
The configuration wizard allows you to quickly switch DIR-X1530 to one of the following modes:
router (for connection to a wired or wireless ISP), access point, repeater, or client, and then
configure all needed setting for operation in the selected mode in several simple steps
Also DIR-X1530 supports configuration and management via mobile application for Android and
iPhone smartphones
You can simply update the firmware: the router itself finds approved firmware on D-Link update
server and notifies when ready to install it
