Section 1 - Product Overview

Introduction
The D-Link DIR-867 AC1750+ MU-MIMO Wi-Fi Gigabit Router shares your Internet connection over a blazing-fast Gigabit
Wireless AC connection of up to 1750+ Mbps (Up to 1300 Mbps 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 450+ Mbps 2.4 GHz Wireless N)1,
using advanced AC beamforming technology to significantly outperform 802.11n and other 802.11ac devices. Equipped with
one Gigabit WAN/Internet port and four Gigabit LAN ports to provide wired speeds of up to 10 times faster than standard
10/100 ports, the DIR-867 creates the best networking experience to date.

Featuring four antennas and a 3 x 3 Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) antenna configuration, the DIR-867 offers better
data rates, fewer dead-spots, more coverage, and higher reliability. Operating exclusively in the 5 GHz band, the DIR-867's
802.11ac wireless connections avoid the crowded 2.4 GHz band, allowing you faster speeds while still maintaining backwards
compatibility with older 802.11n/g/b devices. The DIR-867 prepares your home to become a Connected Home by bringing Wi-
Fi to places your old signal can’t reach. A stronger Wi-Fi signal means you can install more wireless surveillance cameras, baby
monitors, sensors, and alarms in the places where you need them.

The DIR-867's Smart Connect Technology makes connecting to wireless networks easy by eliminating the confusion of multiple
networks. Ever since the introduction of 5 GHz multi-band wireless technology, users have had to guess whether the 5 GHz
or 2.4 GHz band network would provide them with better range and speed. Smart Connect simplifies this by only presenting
a single wireless network for you to connect to. Behind the scenes, when a connection is initiated, the DIR-867's advanced
algorithms determine the best band for your device to connect to, automatically distributing devices to the optimal band,
thereby ensuring a faster, more reliable, and hassle-free experience for all of your users and devices.

This router is equipped with D-Link's Quick VPN technology. Using Quick VPN allows you to securely connect your computer
or mobile device to places with free, untrusted Wi-Fi hotspots by encrypting and relaying your connection through your home
Internet connection. This extra 'hop' reduces the chances of hackers stealing your information, such as logins, passwords, and
credit card numbers. When traveling, Quick VPN lets you watch sports and use video streaming services without experiencing
blackouts or filtering. You can surf the whole Internet unfiltered and unblocked, just as you would at home.

Section 2 - Installation

Installation
This section will walk you through the installation of the DIR-867.

Before you Begin


• Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet,
attic, or garage.

• Configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your Internet connection. Verify that it
is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.

• If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode so the router can
work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.

• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router,
then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet
port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your Internet Service
Provider (ISP) to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).

• If connecting to a DSL modem, make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service
Provider handy. This information is likely to include your DSL account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also
supply you with additional WAN configuration settings which might be necessary to establish a connection.

• If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to
label each cable or take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes.

• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as
WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.

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 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 2.4 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.

QoS Engine
This Quality of Service (QoS) Engine will allow you to prioritize particular
clients over others, so that those clients receive higher bandwidth. For
example, if one client is streaming a movie and another is downloading a non-
urgent file, you might wish to assign the former device a higher priority than
the latter so that the movie streaming is not disrupted by the traffic of the
other devices on the network.

In the Features menu on the bar on the top of the page, click QoS Engine.

Under Connected Clients, you will see device cards representing each
connected client. If some are off-screen, you can use the < and > buttons to
scroll through the cards.

A maximum of one device can be assigned Highest priority.


A maximum of two devices can be assigned High priority.

A maximum of eight devices can be assigned Medium priority.

If no devices are explicitly assigned a priority, they will all be treated with
equal priority. If some devices are not assigned a priority and others are, the
unassigned devices will be treated with the lowest priority.

To assign a priority level to a device, drag the device card from the All Devices
list over an empty slot and release the mouse button. The card will remain in
the slot. If you want to remove a priority assignment from a device and return
it to the All Devices list, click the cross icon in the top right of the device card.

Important Information
The following instructions explain and help you to configure your D-Link Quick VPN enabled router and devices to create a Virtual Private Network
(VPN). This feature is provided for advanced users who wish to connect remotely and use their router's Internet connection to add a layer of security
while using untrusted networks. Configure the Quick VPN Server on your router first and then set up client devices to connect through your router's
WAN connection.

• Quick VPN only provides an added layer of security against specific types of snooping attacks and does not guarantee complete data
integrity or protection. Only traffic in the tunnel between your router and device will be encrypted, WAN traffic will leave your D-Link
Quick VPN enabled router unencrypted.

• Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. Keep your Quick VPN Username, Password, and Passkey safe. It is
recommended that you change these credentials periodically.

• A device connected via Quick VPN tunnel may experience lower data throughput and higher latency due to a number of factors
including: Internet conditions, local and remote network Wi-Fi and WAN bandwidth limitations, and increased latency. This may
negatively impact real time voice and video communication.

• Quick VPN supports up to five concurrent VPN client sessions using the same login and password are supported. Quick VPN uses
L2TP/IPsec with MSCHAPv2, PAP, or CHAP authentication.

• You device may warn you that your information may be intercepted, since you control the Quick VPN server, you may ignore this.

• UDP Ports 500, 4500, 1701 and IP Port 50 must be open in order for Quick VPN to work.

• L2TP/IPsec VPN usage may be restricted in some countries and on some networks. If you have trouble using Quick VPN on some
networks, but not others and are not violating network access rules, try contacting your ISP or network administrator.

• Devices connected via Quick VPN are assigned addresses on a separate subnet (ex. 192.168.1.x). Some network resources may be
unavailable when connecting via Quick VPN.

• If your Internet connection uses DHCP, it is strongly recommended that you first set up Dynamic DNS (DDNS), such as D-Link DDNS,
to eliminate the need to reconfigure client devices in the event your ISP assigns you a new WAN IP address.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DIR-867. 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 these examples.

1. Why can’t 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® 10 or higher


- Mozilla Firefox 28 or higher
- Google™ Chrome 28 or higher
- Apple Safari 6 or 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 ZoneAlarm, BlackICE, 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.

D-Link DIR-867 User Manual 124


Section 6 - Troubleshooting

• 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. This process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.

To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel 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. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, leave the password box empty.

D-Link DIR-867 User Manual 125


Section 6 - Troubleshooting

3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my router?

If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, 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, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re 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, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:

ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]

Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472

D-Link DIR-867 User Manual 126


Section 6 - Troubleshooting

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 we’re 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 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.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

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 similarly to how cordless phones work, through radio signals that 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, university and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other
outdoor venues.

D-Link DIR-867 User Manual 129


Appendix A - Wireless Basics

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 doesn’t use nearly as
much power. This 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 it’s for home, office,
business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it.

Home Uses/Benefits
• 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 Uses/Benefits


• 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

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere, not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s 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 USB adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote locations like:
airports, hotels, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.
That’s why we’ve 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

Don’t let your 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 the product manual for detail information on how to set it up.

D-Link DIR-867 User Manual 131


Appendix A - Wireless Basics

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-867 wireless network USB 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 USB 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 adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 10/8/7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.)

At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the


default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter


installation, security settings, and the settings on
your router. Some firewall software programs may
block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

D-Link DIR-867 User Manual 133

Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet
as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X
where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not
in use on the network. Set the Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your
router (I.E. 192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DIR-867 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 haven’t 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 computer’s 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.
