Before you Start

• Users with DSL providers – If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE username 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 five 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-866L router can work properly. Please contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router device.

Connect your Router

1. Unplug the power to your DSL or Cable modem.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Internet port of the router to the Ethernet port on your DSL or Cable modem.
3. Connect another Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to one of the LAN ports on the router.
4. Plug the power back into your DSL or cable modem. Please wait about one minute before continuing.
5. Plug the power adapter into your router and connect to an available power outlet or surge protector. If the Power LED does not light up, press the Power button on the back of the router.
6. After the router has powered up, verify that the Power (green) and Internet (orange or green) LEDs are both lit. Proceed with router configuration.

2. When the Welcome screen appears, click Next to continue.
3. The router may automatically detect your Internet connection type. If this happens, skip to step 8. If not, then select your Internet connection type and click Next to continue.
4. DSL (PPPoE) users enter their PPPoE user name and password supplied by 4 your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Click Next and skip to step 8.

9. Continue with the Setup Wizard to finish configuring your DIR-866L router. When you see the summary screen, make a note of your settings.
   Note: Setting up “mydlink” is optional and not required for the router to function. Congratulations! You have completed the router installation. After you complete the configuration process, the Internet LED will turn green indicating that your router is connected to the Internet.

QRS Mobile Setup

1. Scan the code below or search “QRS Mobile” (App Store or Google Play) to download the QRS Mobile App to your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
2. Once your app is installed, you may now configure your router. Connect to the router wirelessly by going to your wireless utility on your device. Scan for the wireless network name as listed on the supplied Wi-Fi Configuration card/sticker. Select the network and then enter the Wi-Fi Password.

Troubleshooting

How do I connect my wireless devices to the DIR-866L router?

1. Open your wireless network utility that displays available wireless networks.
2. Select the Wi-Fi Network name you assigned in the wizard and connect.
   Note: If you did not run the setup wizard or you reset the router to its default settings, refer to the Wi-Fi Configuration Card included for the default Wi-Fi Network Name and Wi-Fi Password.

You can also connect wireless devices to the DIR-866L router using WPS:

1. Press the WPS button on the DIR-866L for a minimum of three seconds.
2. Within one minute press the WPS button on your wireless device.
3. Allow up to two minutes to connect.
   Note: Some devices may require you to log in to a utility to start the WPS process. Refer to the user manual of the device you want to connect to the router if you do not know how to start the WPS process.

How do I change the wireless settings on the DIR-866L router?

1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and enter http://dlinkrouter.local./. You can also enter the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).

3. Go to Setup > Wireless Settings > Manual Wireless Network Setup to create a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and Wi-Fi password.

What can I do if I forget my password?

If you forget your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately, this process will change all your settings back to factory default. To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the bottom of the unit. With the router powered on, use an unfolded paper clip to press and hold the button down for about 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. Documentation is available at http://www.dlink.com/DIR-866L.
