D-Link DIR-1960 User Manual
Section 1 - Product Overview
• Superior Wireless Networking
- The DIR-1960 provides Gigabit wireless speeds of up to a combined 1900
Mbps (1300 Mbps 802.11ac 5 GHz, plus 600 Mbps 802.11n 2.4 GHz)
1
. This capability rivals wired connections,
allowing users to participate in real-time activities online, such as HD video communication, online gaming, and
use mobile devices from anywhere in your home while still offering full 802.11n/g/b backward compatibility.
• Extreme Wired LAN and WAN Networking
- With four 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and a
10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, the DIR-1960 has an enormous amount of bandwidth to take full
advantage of the highest speed broadband connections available.
IPv6 Support
- The DIR-1960 fully supports IPv6 and includes support for a variety of IPv6 connection types
including: SLAAC/DHCPv6, 6to4, 6rd, Static IPv6, IPv6 PPPoE, IPv6 in IPv4 tunneling, and local connectivity.
• Smart Connect
- Creates a 'single' wireless network for your devices to connect to. Behind the scenes, the
DIR-1960 automatically determines whether to connect a device to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, thereby providing the
best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing devices to each network.
• Advanced Firewall Features
- The web-based user interface displays a number of advanced network
management features. Easily apply content filtering based on MAC address, URL, and/or domain name.
Schedule these filters to be active on certain days or for a duration of hours or minutes.
• Secure Multiple/Concurrent Sessions
- The DIR-1960 can pass through VPN sessions. It supports multiple
and concurrent IPSec and PPTP sessions, so users behind the DIR-1960 can access corporate networks
through
encrypted channels.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard
- Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface or D-Link Wi-Fi App, the
DIR-1960 lets you quickly configure and secure your router to your specific settings in minutes.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n and 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental
conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
