Attaching the External Antennas
Figure 3: Attaching External Antennas
The DWR-926 requires four external antennas to function
correctly: two blade antennas for 3G/4G, and two Wi-Fi
antennas. The included antennas are interchangeable, but
third party antennas may require connection to specic ports.
1. Attach the blade antennas to the SMA connectors on the
side of the router. Turn clockwise to fasten each antenna. If
you are using third party antennas that require specic ports,
the port on the left side of the device is the“MAIN”antenna,
and the port on the right side is the“AUX”or “DRX”antenna.

Connecting Devices
After the DWR-926 has been successfully installed, the router can
be connected to the end device via the following connection
methods:
Over Ethernet
The Ethernet port can be connected to an end device. Use a
standard Category 5/5e/6 RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect the
end device to the router. The port will auto-negotiate to the
highest possible port speed based on the connected device.
Note that the DWR-926 supports a maximum transfer speed of
300 Mbps over Ethernet.
Over Wi-Fi
You can connect to the router using the SSID and security
settings listed on the bottom of the router. If your Wi-Fi has

Management Options
Before You Begin
The D-Link router can be managed by using either the Web
User Interface (Web UI) or Telnet management interfaces.
If you wish to manage a single D-Link router, the Web UI
may be the best option. Each router must be assigned
its own IP address, which is used for communication
with the management PC. Please refer to the following
installation instructions to get started with the Web UI.
Web User Interface
Once the router has been successfully installed, you can begin
conguration, monitor the LED panel, and display graphical
statistics using a web browser. Supported browsers include:
Microsoft®Internet Explorer , Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
You need the following equipment to access the Web UI of
your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet port
• A standard Ethernet cable
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the router and
to the Ethernet port on the PC.
2. Congure the PC’s IP address to be in the same network
segment as the router. The router’s default IP address is
192.168.0.1, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
