3 OVERVIEWG eneral InformationThe DIR-842 device is a wireless dual band gigabit router with a built-in 4-port switch. It provides afast and simple way to create a wireless and wired network at home or in an you are able to connect the wireless router DIR-842 to a cable or DSL modem or to a privateEthernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to successfully fulfill a wide range ofprofessional tasks. The built-in 4-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers,game consoles, and other devices to your the DIR-842 device, you are able to quickly create a high-speed wireless network at home orin your office, which lets computers and mobile devices access the Internet virtually anywhere(within the operational range of your wireless network). Simultaneous activity of band and5 GHz band allows performing a wide range of tasks.

4 The router can operate as a base station forconnecting wireless devices of the standards , , , , and (atthe wireless connection rate up to 1167 Mbps1).The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, WPS, 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 thebutton, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay MIMO technology allows to distribute the router's resources to let multiple wirelessclients use the Wi-Fi network efficiently, keeping high rates for HD media streaming, lag-freegaming, and fast transfer of large Beamforming technology allows to flexibly change the antennas' radiation pattern and toredistribute the signal directly to wireless devices connected to the adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points orrouters when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them.

5 A client alwaysconnects to the access point (router) with the highest signal of guest Wi-Fi network allows you to create a separate wireless network with individualsecurity settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest network will be ableto access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's wireless router DIR-842 includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimizethreats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access tounwanted websites for users of your addition, the router supports IPsec and allows to create secure VPN service protects against malicious and fraudulent web sites and helps to blockaccess to adult content on children's can configure the settings of the wireless router DIR-842 via the user-friendly web-basedinterface (the interface is available in two languages in Russian and in English).
