Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link’s DWR-922 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 3G/4G Internet connection
through a secure wireless network or by using any of the four 10/100 Ethernet ports.
The DWR-922 lets you connect to your 3G/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-922 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 3G/4G
connection without worrying about unauthorized users accessing your network.
The DWR-922 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
Before You Begin
Installation
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, or in an attic or garage.
Ensure that your DWR-922 4G LTE Router is disconnected and powered off before performing the steps below..
1. Verify that your SIM/UICC card is installed and has been activated by your carrier.
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 upward.
3. Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back panel of your DWR-922. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or
power strip. Make sure the power button is in the“On” position.
a. The Power LED will light up to indicate that power is being supplied to the router and the router is turned on.
b. The LEDs on the front panel will ash on and o as the DWR-922 Mobile Router performs initialization and Internet connection processes.
c. After a few moments, if a connection has been established, the following LEDs will turn solid green: Power, Signal Strength, WLAN, LAN (if
connected), and either 2G/3G or 4G.
Note: By default, the DWR-922 uses the mobile network as the sole Internet connection. If you wish to use your mobile connection as a backup
to a wired connection, or you wish to use a wired connection exclusively, you must use the Optional Advanced Setup procedure.
4. Connect via Wi-Fi using the SSID and password printed on the bottom of the router, or through Ethernet via one of the LAN ports on
the back of your DWR-922.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-922 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.
