Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The D-Link DWR-530 3.75G HSUPA Router is a palm sized 3G router, slim and small enough to carry in a pocket. It
allows users to access and share their 3G mobile Internet connection anywhere and anytime.
The DWR-530 can function in either Wi-Fi router mode or 3G USB modem mode. When in Wi-Fi router mode, the
device allows Wi-Fi capable devices like smart phones, portable gaming devices, notebooks, or digital cameras
access to 3G networks via a wireless connection. The DWR-530 can share its 3G connection with up to 6 Wi-Fi
clients. The built-in battery allows you to simply turn it on to provide your devices with an instant connection to the
Internet.
When using the D-Link DWR-530 3.75G HSUPA Router as a 3G USB modem, you can not only keep your PC
connected to a 3G network, but you can also turn off your PC’s Wi-Fi adapter in order to save battery power.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-530 can be accessed using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
Keep in mind, however, that the quantity, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass
through, may limit the range. Ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home
or of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 affect wireless performance. Large
objects such as sh tanks, mirrors, le cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a negative effect 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 in 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.
