Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link’s DWR-961 4G LTE Router allows you to access mobile broadband networks from anywhere. Once connected, you
can check e-mail, surf the web, and stream media. Use your carrier’s SIM/UICC card to share your 4G Internet connection
through a secure wireless network or by using any of the four 10/100 Ethernet ports.
The DWR-961 lets you connect to your 4G mobile connection with fast downlink speeds of up to 100 Mbps and
uplink speeds up to 50 Mbps, giving you the speed to ensure fast, responsive Internet access. Surf the web with ease and
stream music and video over the Internet to your PCs and mobile devices.
The DWR-961 utilizes dual-active rewalls (SPI and NAT) to prevent potential attacks across the Internet. Industry standard
WPA/WPA2 wireless encryption keeps your wireless network secure and your trac safe, allowing you to share your 4G
connection without worrying about unauthorized users accessing your network.
The DWR-961 can be installed quickly and easily almost anywhere. It can be congured through almost any web browser
without the need for special software. This router makes it possible to stay connected, even when conventional broadband
services are unavailable.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-961 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of your 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 limit the range of the wireless
signal. 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 D-Link 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), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet
(1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks 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 and drywall. 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 2.4 GHz cordless phones, 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 if 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.
