Introduction The D-Link DIR-822 is a IEEE 802.11ac compliant device that delivers up to 3x faster speeds than 802.11n while staying backward compatible with 802.11n/g/b/a devices. Connect the DIR-822 to a cable or DSL modem and provide high-speed Internet access to multiple computers, game consoles, and media players.
Section 1 - Product Overview Features • Ultimate Fast Wireless Networking - The DIR-822 provides up to 300 Mbps wireless connection in 2.4 GHz band, and up to 867 Mbps wireless connection in 5 GHz with other 802.11ac and 802.11n wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
Receptor for the supplied power adapter. Power Button Press the power button to power the DIR-822 on and off. WPS / Reset Button Short press to start the WPS process. Long press for 10 seconds to reset the router to default settings.
A solid light indicates that the WPS handshake has been completed. The light will blink while the WPS WPS LED handshake is processing. WLAN LED A solid light indicates that the wireless segment is ready. LAN LEDs 1-4 A solid light indicates a connection to an Ethernet-enabled computer on ports 1-4 respectively.

• 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. D-Link DIR-822 User Manual...
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.
7. If you are connecting to a broadband service that uses a dynamic connection (not PPPoE), you may be online already. Try opening a web browser connecting to a website. If a solid light indicates a connection on the Internet port, then the router can connect to the Internet. D-Link DIR-822 User Manual...
There are several different ways you can configure your router to connect to the Internet and connect to your clients: • D-Link Setup Wizard - This wizard will launch when you log into the router for the first time. Refer to page 11.
