Section 2 - Installation
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.
Before you Begin

Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem.
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 Internet provider. Do not proceed until you have this information.
Users with Cable providers - Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn
it off for up to 5 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-850L router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router
device.

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, 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 (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 adapters 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 (.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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect 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 (fish tanks), mirrors, file
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 2.4GHz 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 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not
in use.

Connect to your Network

1. Turn off and unplug your DSL or Cable modem. This is required.

Please skip to page 13 to configure your router and use the manual setup procedure to configure your network
and wireless settings. If you did not connect to the Internet, use the D-Link Setup Wizard (refer to page 14).

Connect to an Existing Router

Note: It is strongly recommended to replace your existing router with the DIR-850L instead of using both. If your modem is a combo
router, you may want to contact your ISP or manufacturers user guide to put the router into Bridge mode, which will turn off the
router (NAT) functions.
If you are connecting the DIR-850L router to an existing router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have
to do the following to the DIR-850L before connecting it to your network:
Disable UPnP
Disable DHCP
Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept
a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure
your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking Basics
section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any
changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have
to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser, enter http://192.168.0.1 (or http://dlinkrouter.local./) and press Enter. When the login window
appears, set the user name to Admin and leave the password box empty. Click Log In to continue.
3. Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
4. Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.

5. Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your
settings. Use this new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change
your computers IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.
6. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
7. Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything
into the Internet (WAN) port of the D-Link router.
8. You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network,
open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Configuration and Wireless Security
sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-850L offers the
following types of security:
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys havent been tampered with. WPA2 is
based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP
regulates access to a wireless network based on a computers hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple
to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized
network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between
8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your
wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public
key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)
It is recommended to enable wireless security on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption.
1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and

entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Click on Setup and
then click Wireless Settings on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Personal.
3. Next to WPA Mode, select Auto(WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA

Only. Use Auto if you have wireless clients using both WPA and WPA2.
4. Next to Cypher Type, select TKIP and AES, TKIP, or AES.
5. Next to Group Key Update Interval, enter the amount of time before
the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed (3600
is default).
6. Next to Pre-Shared Key, enter a key (passphrase). The key is entered as

a pass-phrase in ASCII format at both ends of the wireless connection. The pass-phrase must be between 8-63 characters.
7. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the router with a wireless adapter, you will lose connectivity
until you enable WPA-PSK on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the router.

Configure WPA/WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS)
It is recommended to enable wireless security on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish
wireless connectivity before enabling encryption.
1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening a web browser and

entering the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). Click on Setup
and then click Wireless Settings on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select WPA-Enterprise.
3. Next to WPA Mode, select Auto(WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA

Only. Use Auto if you have wireless clients using both WPA and
WPA2.
4. Next to Cypher Type, select TKIP and AES, TKIP, or AES.
5. Next to Group Key Update Interval, enter the amount of time before
the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed
(3600 is default).

QoS Engine
The QoS Engine option helps improve your network gaming performance by prioritizing applications. By default the QoS Engine settings are disabled
and application priority is not automatically classified. The QoS section contains a queuing mechanism, traffic shaping and classification. It supports
two kinds of queuing mechanisms. Strict Priority Queue (SPQ) and Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ). SPQ will process traffic based on traffic priority.
Queue1 has the highest priority and Queue4 has the lowest priority. WFQ will process traffic based on the queue weight. Users can configure each
queues weight. The sum of all the queues weight must be 100. When surfing the Internet, the system will do traffic shaping based on the uplink
and downlink speed. The classification rules can be used to classify traffic to different queues, then SPQ or WFQ will do QoS based on the queues
priority or weight.
Enable QoS: This option is disabled by default. Enable this option for better
performance and experience with online games and other
interactive applications, such as VoIP.
Uplink Speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the router to
your ISP. This is determined by your ISP.
Downlink Speed: The speed at which data can be transferred from the Internet to
your router. This is determined by your ISP.
Queue Type: Select either Strict Priority Queue (rank in order) or Weighted
Fair Queue (percentage).
Queue ID: The Queue ID used will be displayed in the first column.
Queue Priority: When Strict Priority Queue is selected, the Queue Priority will be
displayed in the second column.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-850L. Read the
following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different
operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.
1. Why cant I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link router (192.168.0.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website nor do you
have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must
be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

- Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and higher
- Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and higher
- Google Chrome 8 and higher
- Apple Safari 4 and higher
Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a
different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be
on.
Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate,
Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included
with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.

Configure your Internet settings:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click
the button to restore the settings to their defaults.
Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button.
Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.
Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
Close your web browser (if open) and open it.
Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router in the address bar. This
should open the login page for your web management.
If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30
seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will
change all your settings back to the factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the bottom of the unit. With the
router powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the
button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access
the router. To re-configure the router, refer to page 13.
Reset Router/Forgot Password

3. Why cant I connect to certain sites or send and receive e-mails when connecting through my router?
If you are having a problem sending or receiving e-mail, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail,
we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).
To find the proper MTU Size, youll have to do a special ping of the destination youre trying to go to. A destination could be
another computer, or a URL.
Click on Start and then click Run.
Windows 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7 users type in cmd) and
press Enter (or click OK).
Once the window opens, youll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472

You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented
packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the
proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network were working with (1452+28=1480).
Once you find your MTU, you can now configure your router with the proper MTU size.
To change the MTU rate on your router follow the steps below:
Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1) and click OK.
Enter your username (admin) and password (blank by default). Click OK to enter the web configuration page
for the device.
Click on Setup and then click Manual Configure.
To change the MTU enter the number in the MTU field and click Save Settings to save your settings.
Test your email. If changing the MTU does not resolve the problem, continue changing the MTU in increments
of ten.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics
Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless
connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link
wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able
to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of
wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops
and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.
Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop
systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to
use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide
this link.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio
frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link
delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how cordless phones work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But
wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area
to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point
has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access
point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve
places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many
other outdoor venues.

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to
30 feet away.
Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesnt use nearly as
much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other
devices that operate on batteries.
Who uses wireless?
Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether its for home, office, business,
D-Link has a wireless solution for it.
Home
Gives everyone at home broadband access
Surf the web, check email, instant message, etc.
Gets rid of the cables around the house
Simple and easy to use
Small Office and Home Office

Stay on top of everything at home as you would at office
Remotely access your office network from home
Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
No need to dedicate office space

Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and its becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public
places is usually called hotspots.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations
like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if youre installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.
Thats why weve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your router or Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to
place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have
a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/
access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same
frequency.

Security
Dont let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on
the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.
Wireless Modes
There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
Ad-Hoc Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network
adapters on each computer, such as two or more DIR-850L wireless network Cardbus adapters.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the
wireless router or access point.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc
mode to communicate.

Appendix B - Networking Basics
Networking Basics
Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link wireless adapter and have established a wireless connection, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain

software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other
work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you
received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers and authors protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users and authors
sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of
previous versions.
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can
do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse
occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of
the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision
to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software
on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it
effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
This License refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
Copyright also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
The Program refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as you. Licensees and recipients may
be individuals or organizations.
To modify a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a modified version of the earlier work or a work based on the earlier work.
A covered work means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
To propagate a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under
applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or
without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To convey a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a
computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays Appropriate Legal Notices to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are
provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user
commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. Object code means any non-source form of a
work.
A Standard Interface means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces
specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

The System Libraries of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging
a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component,
or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A Major Component, in this
context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable
work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The Corresponding Source for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work)
run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the works System Libraries,
or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of
the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for
shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or
control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions
are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is
covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other
equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities
for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.
Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that
prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
unnecessary.

3. Protecting Users Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the
WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification
of the work as a means of enforcing, against the works users, your or third parties legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Programs source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in
accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along
with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of
section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7.
This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to keep intact all notices.
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License
will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless
of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such
permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and
which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an aggregate
if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilations users beyond what the individual
works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative
is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with
subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding
Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you
maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts
the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and
Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.

A User Product is either (1) a consumer product, which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or
household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, normally used refers to a typical
or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses,
or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
Installation Information for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and
execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification
has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a
transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of
how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.
But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for
example, the work has been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented
(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
copying.
7. Additional Terms.
Additional permissions are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional
permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid
under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but
the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.
(Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work). You may place additional
permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f ) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose
on those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered further restrictions within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received
it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that
term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work
material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that
apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above
requirements apply either way.

8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify
it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of
section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until
the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation
by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure
the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this
License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material
under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that
work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An entity transaction is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or
merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of
the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the partys predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a
right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
efforts.

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose
a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim
or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any
portion of it.
11. Patents.
A contributor is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus
licensed is called the contributors contributor version.
A contributors essential patent claims are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired,
that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims
that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, control includes
the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributors essential patent claims, to make, use,
sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a patent license is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To grant such a patent license to a party
means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to
copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you
must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this
particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients.
Knowingly relying means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your
recipients use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe
are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work,
and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy
of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is discriminatory if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-
exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an
arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the
extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work
from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or
(b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate
you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and
this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version
3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue
to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning
interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions
will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License
or any later version applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose
any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU
General Public License can be used, that proxys public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version
for the Program.

Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright
holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO
OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts
shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or
assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

Appendix F - Warranty
Warranty
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (D-Link) provides this Limited Warranty:
Only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor, and
Only for products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Possessions
or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, or addresses with an APO or FPO.
Limited Warranty:
D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link product described below (Hardware) will be free from material defects in workmanship
and materials under normal use from the date of original retail purchase of the product, for the period set forth below (Warranty Period), except
as otherwise stated herein.
Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans): One (1) year

Power supplies and fans: One (1) year
Spare parts and spare kits: Ninety (90) days
The customers sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at
D-Links option, to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period at no charge to the original owner or to refund the actual
purchase price paid. Any repair or replacement will be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement hardware
need not be new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may, at its option, replace the defective Hardware or any part thereof with any
reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware.
Repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer,
and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical
to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link
upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded,
shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.

Limited Software Warranty:

D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (Software) will substantially conform to D-Links then current functional specifications
for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90)
days (Software Warranty Period), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in its
documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be
free of physical defects. The customers sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will
be, at D-Links option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Links functional
specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise
agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the
license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject
to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it
is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by
D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof ) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software
for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty:
The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Links products will not be applied to and does not cover any
refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or
the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold As-Is without
any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the
contrary.
Submitting A Claim (USA):

The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point based on its return policy. In case the return policy period has expired and
the product is within warranty, the customer shall submit a claim to D-Link as outlined below:
The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description of the Hardware defect or Software
nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow DLink to confirm the same, along with proof of purchase of the product (such as a
copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product) if the product is not registered.
The customer must obtain a Case ID Number from D-Link Technical Support at 1-877-453-5465, who will attempt to assist the
customer in resolving any suspected defects with the product. If the product is considered defective, the customer must obtain a
Return Material Authorization (RMA) number by completing the RMA form and entering the assigned Case ID Number at https://
rma.dlink.com/.

After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in the original or other suitable shipping package
to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and the RMA number must be prominently marked on the outside of the package.
Do not include any manuals or accessories in the shipping package. D-Link will only replace the defective portion of the product
and will not ship back any accessories.
The customer is responsible for all in-bound shipping charges to D-Link. No Cash on Delivery (COD) is allowed. Products sent COD
will either be rejected by D-Link or become the property of D-Link. Products shall be fully insured by the customer and shipped
to D-Link Systems, Inc., 17595 Mt. Herrmann, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. D-Link will not be held responsible for any packages that
are lost in transit to D-Link. The repaired or replaced packages will be shipped to the customer via UPS Ground or any common
carrier selected by D-Link. Return shipping charges shall be prepaid by D-Link if you use an address in the United States, otherwise
we will ship the product to you freight collect. Expedited shipping is available upon request and provided shipping charges are
prepaid by the customer. D-Link may reject or return any product that is not packaged and shipped in strict compliance with the
foregoing requirements, or for which an RMA number is not visible from the outside of the package. The product owner agrees to
pay D-Links reasonable handling and return shipping charges for any product that is not packaged and shipped in accordance
with the foregoing requirements, or that is determined by D-Link not to be defective or non-conforming.
Submitting A Claim (Canada):
