How do I set up and install my router?
Step 1: Peel the protective film from the top and bottom of the device.
Step 2: Charge the device by connecting the power adapter to the DIR-510L and plugging it in to a wall outlet. Charge the device for at least 4 hours or until the battery LED indicator turns solid green.
Step 3: Connect to your network equipment using one of the following methods:
- Wired Internet Connection - Connect your DSL /cable modem or wired Internet line to the DIR-510L using an Ethernet cable
- 3G/4G/LTE Connection - You will need a compatible 3G/4G/LTE USB adapter with an active SIM card and mobile data plan. Please check your local D-Link website for more information on compatible USB adapters. Plug the USB adapter into the USB port on the DIR-510L.
- Wi-Fi Hotspot Connection - You will need the name and password of the Wi-Fi hotspot that you want to connect to.
Step 4: Turn on the DIR-510L by sliding the ON /OFF/Charge switch to ON.
Step 5: On your PC or mobile device, connect to the DIR-510L’s wireless network.
