CHAPTER 2. OVERVIEW

General Information
The DIR-822 device is a wireless dual band router a built-in 4-port switch. It provides a fast and
simple way to create a wireless and wired network at home or in an office.
You are able to connect the wireless router DIR-822 to a cable or DSL modem or to a private
Ethernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to successfully fulfill a wide range of
professional tasks. The built-in 4-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers,
game consoles, and other devices to your network.
Using the DIR-822 device, you are able to quickly create a wireless network at home or in your
office, which lets computers and mobile devices access the Internet virtually anywhere (within the
operational range of your wireless network). Simultaneous activity of 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band
allows performing a wide range of tasks. The router can operate as a base station for connecting
wireless devices of the standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac (at the rate up
to 1167Mbps1).
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, WPS, WMM.
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on. If needed,
for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the router’s WLAN by pressing the
button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay online.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network allows you to create a separate wireless network with individual
security settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest network will be able
to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's LAN.
Smart adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points or
routers – when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them, a client always
connects to the access point (router) with the highest signal level.
The wireless router DIR-822 includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimize
threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access to
unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
Built-in Yandex.DNS service protects against malicious and fraudulent web sites and helps to block
access to adult content on children's devices.
You can configure the settings of the wireless router DIR-822 via the user-friendly web-based
interface (the interface is available in several languages).
Now you can simply update the firmware: the router itself finds approved firmware on D-Link
update server and notifies when ready to install it.

1 Up to 300Mbps for 2.4GHz and up to 867Mbps for 5GHz.

Miscellaneous
On the Advanced / Miscellaneous page, you can allow the router to use IGMP and RTSP,
enable the SIP ALG function and the PPPoE/PPTP/L2TP/IPSec pass through functions.
IGMP is used for managing multicast traffic (transferring data to a group of destinations). This
protocol allows using network resources for some applications, e.g., for streaming video, more
efficiently.
SIP is used for creating, modifying, and terminating communication sessions. This protocol allows
telephone calls via the Internet.
RTSP is used for real-time streaming multimedia data delivery. This protocol allows some
applications to receive streaming audio/video from the Internet.
The PPPoE pass through function allows PPPoE clients of computers from your LAN to connect to
the Internet through PPPoE connections of the router.
The PPTP pass through, L2TP pass through and IPSec pass through functions allow VPN PPTP,
L2TP and IPSec traffic to pass through the router so that clients from your LAN can establish
relevant connections with remote networks.

DMZ
A DMZ is a host or network segment located “between” internal (local) and external (global)
networks. In the router, the DMZ implements the capability to transfer a request coming to a port of
the router from the external network to a specified host of the internal network.
On the Firewall / DMZ page you can specify the IP address of the DMZ host.

Figure 143. The Firewall / DMZ page.

To enable the DMZ, select the Enabled checkbox.

Enter the IP address of a host from your network in the IP address field. To choose a device
connected to the router's LAN at the moment, select the relevant value from the drop-down list (the
field will be filled in automatically).
Select the Enable NAT Loopback checkbox in order to let the users of the router's LAN access
the DMZ host using the external IP address of the router or its DDNS name (if a DDNS service is
configured). Users from the external network access the router using the same address (or DDNS
name).
Click the Apply button.
Note that when the DMZ is enabled, all traffic coming to a port of the WAN interface of the router
is directed to the same port of the specified IP address. Also note that virtual servers have higher
priority than the DMZ host. In other words, if there has been created a virtual server that directs
traffic from external port 80 to a port of the device from the router's local network, then entering
http://router_WAN_IP in the address bar, users of the external network are directed to the
specified port and IP address configured for the virtual server, but not to port 80 of the device with
the IP address specified on the Firewall / DMZ page.
To disable the DMZ, deselect the Enabled checkbox and click the Apply button.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DIR-822 device lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually
anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, 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 noise in your home or office. To maximize your wireless range, follow the
guidelines below.
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DIR-822 device and other network
devices to a minimum – each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless network range by 3-
90 feet (1-30 meters).
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. Place your devices so that the signal
travels straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a
negative effect on your wireless range. Try to position your router, access points, and
computers so that the signal passes through drywalls or open doorways. Materials and
objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file
cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your router 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 equipment (wireless devices 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. Note, that the base transmits a signal even if the phone in
not in use.

Connecting to Cable or DSL Modem

If you need to connect the router to a cable or DSL modem, do the following.
1. Place the router in an open location in the supposed center of your wireless network. Do not
plug the power adapter into the router.
2. Turn off your PC.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your PC to your modem) from your computer and
place it into the INTERNET port of your router.
4. Plug another Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end
into the Ethernet port of your PC.
5. Turn on your modem. Wait until the modem is booted (about 30 seconds).
6. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to an electrical outlet or power strip. Wait
until the router is booted (about 30 seconds).
7. Turn on your PC.
8. Verify the LEDs of the router. The following LEDs should be solid or blinking green:
POWER, INTERNET, LAN (corresponding to the LAN ports of the router to which
devices from the router's local area network are connected), and WLAN (if the wireless
network correspondingly is on and in use). If not, make sure that your computer, modem,
and router are powered on and the relevant cables are connected correctly.
