Initial Setup
Ensure that your DWR-920 Wireless N300 4G LTE Router is disconnected and powered o
before performing the steps below.
1. Verify that your SIM/UICC card is installed and has been activated by your carrier. To install
your SIM/UICC card, follow the diagram next to the slot. Push gently until it locks into place.
Caution: Always unplug/power down the router before installing or removing the SIM/UICC
card. Never insert or remove the SIM/UICC card while the router is in use.
2. Attach the included antennas to the back of the router, screwing them in clockwise. Arrange
them so that they point upwards.
3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DWR-920. Plug the
other end of the power adapter into the wall outlet or power strip. Press the power button
to turn the device on.
4. Press the power button and wait for three seconds to turn on the device.
a. The Power LED will light up green to indicate that power is being supplied to the router
and the router is turned on.
b. After a few moments, the LED indicators will show the current status of the router’s
various functions. For more information, please refer to LED Indicators on page 6

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-920 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of its wireless network. Keep in mind that
the quantity, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may adversely aect wireless
signals. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or oce.The key to maximizing
the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and other network devices. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range
from 3 to 90 feet (1 to 30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a
45-degree angle. At a 2-degree angle it appears 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. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways. Materials such as glass, metal,
brick, insulation, concrete, and water can aect wireless performance. Large objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors, and
aluminum studs may also have a negative eect on range.
4. If you are using a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, make sure that the 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless device as possible. The base
transmits a signal even when the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices, and electronic equipment such as
ceiling fans, uorescent lights, and home security systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.

Conguration
Initial Connection to the Router
This section will show you how to congure your new D-Link mobile router using the conguration utility that can be accessed via your web-browser.
By default, the DWR-920 comes congured to work with most 4G SIM/UICC cards. If you wish to congure the router, you will need to establish a
direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based conguration utility. For information please refer to Connect via Wi-Fi on page

Connect via Wi-Fi
Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are using a dierent operating system, or a third party connection
utility, the process may be dierent. Please refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or wireless client for further information on
how to connect to a wireless network.
To connect to the router usingWi-Fi, open your operating system’s wireless networking utility
and scan for available networks to connect to. By default, the network name (SSID) of the
DWR-920 will be in the format dlink_DWR-920_xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last four
characters of the DWR-920’s MAC address. The default SSID and password can also be found
on the product label attached to the battery cover. For more information on where to nd
this label refer to Hardware Overview on page 4.
Once you have located your DWR-920’s wireless network, select it and click Connect.
