2. Remove the battery cover by lifting up on the bottom right corner of it, then remove the battery.
3. Push the SIM card slot cover down to unlock it, then lift it open.
Note: Always unplug and turn o the router before installing or removing the SIM card. Never insert or remove the SIM card while the router is in use.
4. Insert the SIM card, ensuring that the alignment is the same as indicated by the logo next to the slot. The gold contacts on the card should be
facing downwards.
5. Lower the SIM card slot cover and push it up to lock it.
6. If you want to use a microSD card, you can insert it into the microSD card slot in the same manner as the SIM card.
7. Reinsert the battery and reattach the battery cover.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DWR-933 can be accessed using a wireless connection from anywhere within the operating range of its 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 adversely aect wireless
signals. 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 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) appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick at a
45-degree angle. At a 2-degree angle it appears 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. 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 a 2.4 GHz cordless phone, 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 when 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.

Conguration
This section will show you how to congure your new D-Link mobile router using the conguration utility that can be obtained through a software
interface or a web-based user interface.
Initial Connection to the Router
When conguring the router for the rst time, you will need to establish a direct connection with the router in order to access the web-based
conguration utility. This can be done using the included USB cable, or by connecting wirelessly to the DWR-933, as described in Connecting
via Wi-Fi on page 9. Once you have congured your router, you will be able to connect using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specied in the
conguration process. Ensure that the router is powered on and has sucient battery power before commencing the setup process.
Connecting via USB
To connect to the router via USB, plug the provided micro USB cable into the micro USB port on the side of the router, then plug the other end
into an available USB port on your computer. Your router is now ready for conguration; please refer to the Conguration Utility on page 13
to continue the setup process.

9D-Link DWR-933 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Connecting via Wi-Fi
Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If you are using a dierent operating system, or a third party connection
utility, the process may be dierent. Please refer to the documentation that came with your operating system or wireless client for further information on
how to connect to a wireless network.
To connect to the router usingWi-Fi, open your operating system’s wireless networking utility
and scan for available networks to connect to. By default, the network name (SSID) of the
DWR-933 will be in the format dlink_DWR-933_xxxx, where “xxxx” represents the last four
characters of the DWR-933’s MAC address.
Only the 2.4 GHz network is enabled by default. To enable the 5 GHz network, complete setup
and refer to Wi-Fi Settings on page 34.
Once you have located this network with your wireless utility, connect to the network using
the wireless networking utility.

10D-Link DWR-933 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
You will then be prompted to enter the network security key for your router.The unique security
key for your router will be displayed on the DWR-933’s screen. Enter the security key in the
box provided and click OK. Your wireless connection utility will conrm that the connection
is successful, and you can continue on to the next step of the conguration process.

11D-Link DWR-933 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Connect a Wireless Client to your DWR-933 Using WPS
Step 2 - Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless device (or launch the software utility and start the WPS process).
The easiest way to connect your wireless devices to the router is with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Most wireless devices such as wireless adapters,
media players, Blu-ray DVD players, wireless printers and cameras will have a WPS button (or a software utility with WPS) that you can press to
connect to the DWR-933 router. Please refer to your user manual for the wireless device you want to connect to make sure you understand how to
enable WPS. Once you know, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Press the WPS button on the DWR-933 for about 3 seconds. The message “WPS Pairing” will appear. To cancel the WPS pairing process,
holding the WPS button for 3 seconds. The message “WPS Aborted” will appear.
Step 3 - Allow up to 1 minute for your connection to be congured. If successful, the number above the 2.4 GHz icon will increment by one. The
message “WPS Fail” appears if the device was unable to nd a wireless client to connect to. If multiple attempts are unsuccessful, we
suggest trying to connect by manually inputting the SSID and password.
