User Manual
Transmit Beamforming technology allows to flexibly change the antennas' radiation pattern and to
redistribute the signal directly to wireless devices connected to the router.
Smart adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points or
routers – when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them, a client always
connects to the access point (router) with the highest signal level.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network allows you to create a separate wireless network with individual
security settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest network will be able
to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of the router's LAN.
The wireless router DIR-882 includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security functions minimize
threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and block access to
unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
The SSH protocol support provides more secure remote configuration and management of the
router due to encryption of all transmitted traffic, including passwords.
In addition, the router supports IPsec and allows to create secure VPN tunnels. Support of the
IKEv2 protocol allows to provide simplified message exchange and use asymmetric authentication
engine upon configuration of an IPsec tunnel.
Built-in Yandex.DNS service protects against malicious and fraudulent web sites and helps to block
access to adult content on children's devices.
The router also supports the SkyDNS web content filtering service, which provides more settings
and opportunities for safer Internet experience for home users of all ages and for professional
activities of corporate users.
Now the schedules are also implemented; they can be applied to the rules and settings of the
firewall and used to reboot the router at the specified time or every specified time period and to
enable/disable the wireless network and the Wi-Fi filter.
The new ad blocking function effectively blocks advertisements which appear during web surfing.
You can configure the settings of the wireless router DIR-882 via the user-friendly web-based
interface (the interface is available in several languages).
The configuration wizard allows you to quickly switch DIR-882 to one of the following modes:
router (for connection to a wired or wireless ISP), access point, repeater, or client, and then
configure all needed setting for operation in the selected mode in several simple steps.
Also DIR-882 supports configuration and management via mobile application for Android and
iPhone smartphones.

server and notifies when ready to install it.
