Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Overview
The AC2600 MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Router delivers premium performance for today’s most demanding tasks: HD streaming, gaming,
and multiple device usage. It comes packed with speeds of up to 2,533 Mbps (800 Mbps in 2.4GHz + 1,733 Mbps in 5GHz ), a
high-performance dual-core processor, AC SmartBeam technology, Intelligent Quality of Service (QoS) with trac prioritization,
four high-performance external antennas for maximum range, a new user interface, Smart Connect and with an easy setup. The
DIR-882 is the perfect combination of performance and ease of use.
Superior data rates, range and reliability
The AC2600 Wi-Fi Router comes with a 4x4 data streams which can support faster Wi-Fi speeds. These streams can be combined
through beamforming and MU-MIMO to increase reliability and range.This 4x4 AC router is the latest in AC technology, delivering
independent data streams to devices on the network for speeds of up to 2,533 Mbps. The AC2600 helps provide the best overall
performance to single devices that require high bandwidth such as video streaming or online gaming.
MU-MIMO Technology
The DIR-882 is designed to support MU-MIMO (Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology that allows multiple devices
to get high-bandwidth Wi-Fi signal at the same time. You can stream HD media faster and play lag-free gaming. Compared to SU-
MIMO (Single-User Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology, MU-MIMO distributes data more eciently, giving you the fastest
Wi-Fi speeds in your home.
160 MHz Support
The DIR-882 is 160 MHz enabled. It doubles the bandwidth, optimizing the intense data transferring. Ideal for 4K HD streaming
and online gaming.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely aect wireless signal range. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) enabled clients needed for optimal performance.

Section 2 - Installation
Before you Begin
Installation
This section will walk 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 the attic or garage.
• Users with DSL providers - If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password.
If you do not have this information, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Do not proceed until you have this
information. Also, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoET, MacPoET, BroadJump,
or EnterNet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
• Users with Cable providers - Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn
it o for up to ve minutes.
•Advanced Users - If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode
so the DIR-882 can work properly. For details, contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router
device.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the
wireless signals must pass through may limit the range.Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background
RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum -
each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
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. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range.
Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le
cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not
in use.
