User Manual
Overview
CHA TER 2. OVERVIEW
General Information
The DWR-953 device is a wireless dual band gigabit router supporting 3G/LTE with a built-in
switch. It provides a fast and simple way to create a wireless and wired network at home or in an
office.
The router is equipped with a built-in LTE modem which provides 3G/4G mobile connection with
fast downlink speeds of up to 150Mbps and uplink speeds of up to 50Mbps.1
Also you are able to connect the wireless router DWR-953 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 4-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers
game consoles and other devices to your network.
Using the DWR-953 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 and 802.11ac (at
the wireless connection rate up to 1167Mbps2).
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.
Transmit Beamforming technology allows to flexibly change the antennas' radiation pattern and to
redistribute the signal directly to wireless devices connected to the router.
Smart adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points or
routers – when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them a client always
connects to the access point (router) with the highest signal level.
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 DWR-953 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.
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.
1 Data rates are theoretical. Data transfer rate depends on network capacity and signal strength.
2 Up to 300Mbps for 2.4GHz and up to 867Mbps for 5GHz.

Overview
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 to set
rules for limitation of wireless client maximum bandwidth and to enable/disable the wireless
network and the Wi-Fi filter.
You can configure the settings of the wireless router DWR-953 via the user-friendly web-based
interface (the interface is available in several languages).
The configuration wizard allows you to quickly switch DWR-953 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 DWR-953 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.

Before You Begin
Please read this manual prior to installing the device. Make sure that you have all the necessary
information and equipment.
Computer or Mob le Dev ce
Configuration of the wireless dual band gigabit router with 3G/LTE support DWR-953 (hereinafter
referred to as “the router”) is performed via the built-in web-based interface. The web-based
interface is available from any operating system that supports a web browser.
Also you can use D-Link Assistant application for Android or iPhone mobile devices (smartphones
or tablets).
PC Web Browser
The following web browsers are recommended:
•Apple Safari 8 and later
•Google Chrome 48 and later
•Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and later
•Microsoft Edge 20.10240 and later
•Mozilla Firefox 44 and later

For successful operation JavaScript should be enabled on the web browser. Make sure that
JavaScript has not been disabled by other software (such as virus protection or web user security
packages) running on your computer.
W red or W reless NIC (Ethernet or W -F Adapter)
Any computer that uses the router should be equipped with an Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter (NIC). If
your computer is not equipped with such a device install an Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter prior to
using the router.
W reless Connect on
Wireless workstations from your network should be equipped with a wireless 802.11a b g n or ac
NIC (Wi-Fi adapter). In addition you should specify the values of SSID channel number and
security settings defined in the web-based interface of the router for all these wireless workstations.
