Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
Dual Band Wireless for Seamless Performance
The DIR-859 Wireless AC1750 High Power Wi-Fi Gigabit Router features dual-band wireless, allowing you to operate two concurrent,
high-speed Wi-Fi bands for ultimate wireless performance. Surf the web, chat, and play online games on the 2.4GHz band, while
simultaneously streaming digital media on the 5GHz band. What’s more, each band can operate as a separate Wi-Fi network, giving
you the ability to customize your network according to your connectivity needs. You can even configure a guest zone to give visitors
Internet access without giving them access to the rest of your network.
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Secure
Sharing your Internet connection doesn’t have to be a complicated process, just open a web browser to access the setup wizard
and follow the easy step- by-step instructions to get started. Implement WPA/WPA2 wireless security in minutes with the wireless
network setup wizard, or use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which establishes a secure connection to new devices without the need
to enter settings or create passwords. In addition, the built-in firewall protects against malicious attacks from the Internet, and access
control features allow you to restrict access to your network.
High-Speed Wired and Wireless Connectivity
The DIR-859 uses the latest high-speed wireless technology to bring you lightning-fast Wi-Fi speeds of up to 1750 Mbps, and increased
range. Enjoy streaming media, Internet phone calls, online gaming, and content-rich web surfing throughout your home. In addition,
Gigabit Ethernet ports give you solid, dependable wired performance for devices such as media centers and gaming consoles.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac, 802.11a, 802.11g, and 802.11n 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.

Users with DSL providers
- If you are using a PPPoE connection, you will need your PPPoE user name and password.
If you do not have this information, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider). Do not proceed until you have this
information. Also, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoET, MacPoET, BroadJump,
or EnterNet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
•
Users with Cable providers
- Make sure you unplug the power to your modem. In some cases, you may need to turn
it off for up to five minutes.
•
Advanced Users
- If your ISP provided you with a modem/router combo, you will need to set it to “bridge” mode
so the DIR-859 can work properly. For details, contact your ISP or refer to the user manual for your modem/router
