CHAPTER 2.
General Information
The DWR-980 device is a wireless dual band gigabit router supporting 3G/LTE with a built-in
switch. It provides a fast and simple way to create a wireless and wired network at home or in an
office.
The router is equipped with a built-in LTE modem which provides 3G/4G mobile connection with
fast downlink speeds of up to 150Mbps and uplink speeds of up to 50Mbps.
The router is equipped with a DSL port to connect to a high-speed VDSL line and 4 Ethernet ports
to connect workstations. Due to this feature, DWR-980 represents a moderate-priced solution for
creating wired networks without an additional switch. Any Ethernet port of the device can be used
to connect to a private Ethernet line. In addition, Gigabit Ethernet WAN port enables you to connect
the device to a high-speed Ethernet line.
The router is equipped with a USB port for connecting a USB modem
establish connection to the Internet. In addition, to the USB port of the router you can connect a
USB storage device, which will be used as a network drive, or a printer.
In order to use the multifunction USB port effectively, the router supports simultaneous operation
of several USB devices. For example, you can access multimedia content of the connected HDD
storage and at the same time share a USB printer.
Using the DWR-980 device, you are able to quickly create a high-speed wireless network at home
or in your office, which lets computers and mobile devices access the Internet virtually anywhere
(within the operational range of your wireless network). Simultaneous activity of 2.4GHz band and
5GHz band allows performing a wide range of tasks. The router can operate as a base station for
connecting wireless devices of the standards 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac (at
the wireless connection rate up to 1167Mbps
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2/WPA3), MAC address filtering, WPS, WMM.
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on. If needed,
for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the router's WLAN by pressing the
button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the router will stay online.
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.
1 Data rates are theoretical. Data transfer rate depends on network capacity and signal strength.
