Access Point
Create a Wireless Network using Ethernet
The DIR-890L operates as an Access Point when an Ethernet cable is connected from the WAN Ethernet Port to an uplink network and the device
is congured to AP Mode using the web conguration utility.
Use this mode for:
• Extending your current network.
• Providing better signal for parts of your home or oce that may have poor reception.
• Bringing Wi-Fi to an area it doesn't currently reach.
• Adding Wi-Fi to a wired network.
• Maximizing bandwidth.
• Creating a Wi-Fi pocket away from your existing network.
Note: Extending a network to a desired location via Ethernet may require additional cable. The maximum length of Category 5/5E cables is limited
to 100 meters (330 feet). Use a Gigabit-capable Ethernet connection where possible to ensure the best networking experience.
To use your DIR-890L as an Access Point, refer to Installation - Access Point on page 23.
