D-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Router DIR-1260 is a sleek and compact router that blends well with any home or office decor. It has a matte black finish with glossy accents, giving it a modern and stylish look. The router is easy to set up and manage, with a user-friendly interface that allows you to customize your network settings. The DIR-1260 also has advanced security features, such as WPA\u002FWPA2 encryption and a built-in firewall, to protect your network from unauthorized access and attacks. Its dual-band technology provides fast and reliable Wi-Fi connections, even in congested areas with multiple devices. Overall, the D-Link AC1200 Wi-Fi Router DIR-1260 is a high-quality and affordable router that offers fast and reliable Wi-Fi connections for small to medium-sized homes and offices.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2>Installation\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>This section will walk you through the installation of your DIR-1260.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3>Before you Begin\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, attic, or garage.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your Internet connection. Verify that it is connected to the Internet before connecting additional devices.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to change connection types (USB to Ethernet).\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>If connecting to a DSL modem, make sure to have your DSL service information provided by your Internet Service Provider handy. This information is likely to include your DSL account's Username and Password. Your ISP may also supply you with additional WAN configuration settings which might be necessary to establish a connection.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>If you are connecting a considerable amount of networking equipment, it may be a good idea to take the time to label each cable or take a picture of your existing setup before making any changes.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoET, BroadJump, or EnterNet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch3>Wireless Installation Considerations\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Col>\u003Cli>Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick. Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.\u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Fol>\u003Ch2>Setup\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp>There are several different ways you can configure your router to connect to the Internet\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul>\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>D-Link Wi-Fi App\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>Use your compatible Android or iOS device to install and configure your router. \u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Hardware Setup\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>This section explains how to setup your DIR-1260. \u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>D-Link Setup Wizard\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>This wizard will launch when you log into the router by using your PC for the first time. \u003C\u002Fli>\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Manual Setup\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cbr>Log in to the router to manually configure your router. \u003C\u002Fli>\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Ch3>D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp>The D-Link Wi-Fi app allows you to install and configure your DIR-1260 from your compatible Android or iOS device.\u003Cbr>\u003Cstrong>Note\u003C\u002Fstrong>: The screenshots may be different depending on your mobile device’s OS version.
