Section 1 - Introduction
D-Link Services Routers offer a secure, high performance networking solution to address the growing needs
of small and medium businesses. Integrated high-speed IEEE 802.11n/ac and 3G wireless technologies offer
comparable performance to traditional wired networks, but with fewer limitations. Optimal network security is
provided via features such as virtual private network (VPN) tunnels, IP Security (IPsec), Point-to-Point Tunneling
Protocol (PPTP), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Empower your road warriors
with clientless remote access anywhere and anytime using SSL VPN tunnels.
With the D-Link Services Router you are able to experience a diverse set of benefits:
• Comprehensive Management Capabilities
The DSR-500, DSR-1000, DSR-500AC, and DSR-1000AC include dual-WAN Gigabit Ethernet
which provides policy-based service management ensuring maximum productivity for your
business operations. The failover feature maintains data traffic without disconnecting when
a landline connection is lost. The Outbound Load Balancing feature adjusts outgoing traffic
across two WAN interfaces and optimizes the system performance resulting in high availability.
The solution supports configuring a port as a dedicated DMZ port allowing you to isolate
servers from your LAN.
Note: DSR-150/150N/250/250N product have a single WAN interface, and thus it does not support
Auto Failover and Load Balancing scenarios.
• Superior Wireless Performance
Designed to deliver superior wireless performance, the DSR-150N and DSR-250N include
802.11 a/b/g/n support, allowing for operation on the 2.4 GHz radio band. Multiple In Multiple
Out (MIMO) technology allows the DSR-150N and DSR-250N to provide high data rates with
minimal "dead spots" throughout the wireless coverage area.
Next generation wireless performance is available on the DSR-500AC and DSR-1000AC, which
introduce 802.11AC support to the family. Available on the 5 GHz band, the combination of
wider RF bandwidths and up to 8 MIMO streams take data rates available to supporting AC
clients to the next level.
Note: DSR-150N and DSR-250N support 2.4GHz radio band only.
• Flexible Deployment Options
The DSR series supports Third Generation (3G) Networks via an extendable USB 3G dongle. This
3G network capability offers an additional secure data connection for networks that provide
critical services. The product can be configured to automatically switch to a 3G network
whenever a physical link is lost.
• Robust VPN features
A fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides your mobile workers and branch
offices with a secure link to your network. The DSR products are capable of simultaneously
managing 5, 5, 10, 20 Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels respectively, empowering your
mobile users by providing remote access to a central corporate database. Site-to-site VPN
tunnels use IP Security (IPsec) Protocol, Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), or Layer 2
