3-1 Driver Installation
When you plug the DG-HR1060MS into your computer, any necessary drivers will
immediately install (with your permission).
Note: These drivers are Windows-only. Mac and Linux users will still be able to
configure the DG-HR1060MS using the web configuration utility.
Wireless Installation Considerations
The DG-HR1060MS 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 affect wireless signals. Ranges vary depending on
the type of material and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or
office. 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 and drywall. Material such as glass, metal, brick,
insulation, concrete and water can affect wireless performance. Large objects such as
fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, metal doors and aluminum studs may also have a
negative effect on range.
12
DG-HR1060MS User Manual
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
if the phone is not in use. In some cases, cordless phones, X-10 wireless devices and
electronic equipments such as ceiling fans, fluorescent lights and home security
systems may dramatically degrade wireless connectivity.
3-2 Configuring the Router Settings
Initial Connection to the Router
When configuring the router for the first time, you will need to establish a direct
connection with the router in order to access the web-based configuration utility. This
can be done using the included USB cable, or by connecting wirelessly to the
DG-HR1060MS. Once you have configured your router, you will be able to connect
using the Wi-Fi settings that you have specified in the configuration process. Ensure
that the router is powered ON and has sufficient battery power before commencing
the setup process.
Connect via USB
To connect the router via USB, plug the provided micro USB cable into the micro
USB port on the bottom of the router, and plug the other end into an available USB
port on your computer. Your router is now ready for configuration.
Connect via Wi-Fi
Note: The following example uses Windows 7’s built-in wireless connection utility. If
you are using a different operating system, or a third party connection utility, the
process may be different. 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 the router using Wi-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 DG-HR1060MS will be in the format “DIGISOL”
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 a sticker in the router’s
