OVERVIEW
General Information
The DIR-882 device is a wireless dual band gigabit router with 3G/LTE support. 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 two USB ports for connecting a USB modem
, a USB storage device or
a printer. You are able to quickly connect to the Internet via a USB modem and use a USB storage
device as a network drive.
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.
You can use any Ethernet port of the router as LAN or WAN port. The new-generation firmware
supports assigning several WAN ports, for example, in order to configure the primary and backup
WAN connection of different ISPs. In addition, you can configure the WAN failover using a 3G/4G
modem.
Also you are able to connect the wireless router DIR-882 to a cable or DSL modem or to a private
Ethernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to successfully fulfill a wide range of
professional tasks. The built-in 4-port switch enables you to connect Ethernet-enabled computers,
game consoles, and other devices to your network.
Using the DIR-882 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 2600Mbps
).
The router supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), 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.
The Super Mesh
function is D-Link implementation of mesh networks designed to quickly connect
multiple devices into one transport network, for example, when it's required to provide high-quality
Wi-Fi coverage without dead zones in living units of complicated planning or it's needed to create a
large temporary Wi-Fi network for an outdoor event.
Multi-user MIMO technology allows to distribute the router's resources to let multiple wireless
clients use the Wi-Fi network efficiently, keeping high rates for HD media streaming, lag-free
gaming, and fast transfer of large files.
