WiFi 6 is also knows as 802.11ax. WFA (Wi-Fi Alliance) uses numbers to simplify the name of the standards. WiFi 6 (11ax) features 1024-QAM, which provides high-throughput in both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, and supports MU-MIMO & Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) to improve the channel capacity and efficiency for enabling more clients to access the WiFi networks.

MU-MIMO stands for Multi-User, Multiple Input and Multiple Output technology. MU-MIMO enables the communication with multiple devices simultaneously. More connected devices, No more waiting, and no more slow-connection.

In 802.11n (WiFi 4), multiple spatial streams can transmit to a single client at one time. It is also known as Single User MIMO (SU-MIMO).

In 802.11ax (WiFi 6) and 11ac (WiFi 5), MU-MIMO are introduced. Router or AP can transmit to multiple clients at the same time.

WiFi 6 operates in both the 2.4 and 5GHz bands and features improvements in throughput, multiple-device support, and WiFi spectrum efficiency. WiFi 6 also increases the number of devices that can connect and simultaneously benefit from high-speed wireless networks.

4GHz (802.11b/g/n/ax)

  • 4GHz frequency is able to reach farther than the 5GHz frequency. The characteristics that waves attenuate much faster at higher frequencies. Therefore, if you are more concerned with the coverage, you should select 2.4GHz rather than 5GHz.
  • 4GHz suffers more interferences like Bluetooth, microwave and so on than 5GHz.
  • 4GHz has fewer channel options with only three of them non-overlapping, while 5GHz has 23 non-overlapping channels.

5GHz (802.11a/n/ac/ax)

  • 5GHz has more channels than 2.4GHz, this reduces the interference created by channel-overlapping.
  • If 5GHz radio uses the DFS channels, it needs to wait for 1 minute before service become available.
  • If 5GHz radio uses the weather radar channels, it needs to wait for 10 minutes before service become available.

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) is a highly developed modulation scheme used in the communication industry in which data transmits over radio frequencies. WiFi 6 (802.11ax) features 1024-QAM, which provides high-throughput in both 2.4 and 5 GHz band. It provides up to a 25% increase in data rate to achieve speeds up to 10Gbps enabling your Internet service to support 4K/8K video and AR/VR game requirements.

OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access), a technology in Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), improves wireless network performance by establishing independently modulating subcarriers within frequencies. This approach allows simultaneous transmissions to and from multiple clients. OFDMA divides a WiFi channel into smaller frequency allocations, called resource units (RUs). Router or AP can communicate with multiple clients by assigning them to specific RUs.

No, it is not available. However, you can change the password to access the router's interface.

See in the user guide 5.8.1 Password & Timezone. Go to the WebGUI and see System Settings > Password & Timezone to change the password of administrative.

If you forget the login password or cannot login the router, please refer to the product label, which is located on the bottom of the router. You will see the username, password, and other detailed information. Use the default password to access the WebGUI. However, if you changed the default password previously, you will need to reset the router to default

If you changed the default password previously, you will need to reset the router to default. Otherwise, you can refer to the product label, which is located on the bottom of the router. You will see the username, password, and other detailed information.

A factory reset will restore all the settings to default status just as you firstly got the router. Make sure you have already backed up the configuration before using the process of reset to default to fix other issues. Factory reset could be done via the reset button on the back side of the router (See in the user guide 3. Let’s get started for the location of each interface). Press and hold the button for 7 seconds. You will see the power LED starts flashing blue and then lights off in a few seconds. After that, the router will reboot automatically. You can see all the configurations become default status when the process is completed. In another way, you can also reset the router to default via WebGUI or APP. Go to System Settings > Configuration & Reset and click the Reset to Default button. The router will automatically start the factory reset process.

    First please check carefully the default password on the label, some words and numbers such as l vs 1 and 0 vs o looks very similar. The format of wifi password is [word:a-z][word:a-z][3 digit number:0-9]. So only last 3 digits are 0-9. For example, agencyanchor153 is correct, but agencyanch0rl53 is wrong. The password format of WebGUI login is [word:a-z][2 digit special char][3 digit number:0-9], for example, bakery#$123 is correct, but bakery#Sl12 is wrong

    When your password is correct, but it still cannot connect or login. Please attempt to do a hardware reset.

    For hardware reset, please use a pin or sharp-pointed pen to press and hold on the reset button till the LED start to blink blue, you need to hold the reset roughly 10 seconds. Please note if you just punch the reset button once, Dynalink Router will reboot, but not reset to default.

    Please check the LED behavior carefully during hardware reset. The LED should first start to blink blue for a few seconds, indicating it is doing reset to default. Then the LED will become solid red, indicating it is doing power cycle. Then the LED will blink blue for about 45 seconds, and then become solid blue when system is ready. If you do not observe the exact same LED behavior, maybe you did not press and hold the reset button long enough, and you should try it again.

    No, Dynalink Router does not support different 2.4GHz SSIDs to separate different channels. Once configured, they will be changed together. 5GHz is the same.

    No, Dynalink DL-WRX36 doesn’t support to be selected the 160MHz channel bandwidth, however, Dynalink DL-WRX36 supports 4x4 MIMO@80MHz contiguous which is the same as 2x2 MIMO@160MHz.

    No, Dynalink Router does not support connecting a USB Hub adapter with attaching multiple USB storage.

    Even though Dynalink Router can power multiple USB drives/sticks at the same time when connected to a USB hub, it can only recognize one USB drive by prioritizing the connection.

    1. Router mode (by default)

    Connects multiple devices to the Internet and provides network access. It is the default mode for most home networks, creating a private local network.

    2.Access Point (Bridge) mode

    Extends existing network coverage or creates a new Wi-Fi hotspot, serving as a bridge between wireless devices and the main router.

    Note:

    When selecting Access Point (Bridge) mode, since a new IP address may be obtained, please also clear the cookies of the GUI web page. And all WAN-related settings will be removed as well.

    In some regions, the ISP modem provides DHCP internet but the router will show Your “ISP's DHCP does not function correctly,” sometimes it’s about the query time frequency of the router, by default, it’s aggressive mode, however this mode will cause some ISP modem to not provide proper IP address to router.

    Therefore, you can modify the DHCP query frequency to be in the normal mode.

    Go to WAN > INTERNET and find DHCP Query Frequency.

    Select normal mode and hit Save button.

    Sure, the Dynalink Router supports the AP / Bridge mode and it supports in the firmware version: 1.10.1.308 or above.

        Yes, you can enable band-steering function on the WIFI setting from either APP or WebGUI. Band Steering will use one SSID for both 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi, and Dynalink Router will steer the client devices to the WiFi band with best performance automatically.

        • Dynalink APP

        • Dynalink WebGUI

        The answer in the latest version is certain, but you need to disable LAN Security via WebGUI. Please refer to user guide for detail of LAN Security setting. For bridge that use Ethernet to connect to Dynalink WiFi, it should work without any configuration change.

        After you set up the PPTP VPN server, you should know the VPN server's IP address, username and password, etc. related configuration information.
        1. Go to WebGUI and see Security > VPN > VPN client, select VPN type to PPTP.
        2. Enter Username and password. If you would like to get all Internet traffic to go through VPN, please select Yes on Enable Default Router. Hit Apply when finished. You can also add some description for your own reference.
        3. After you finished the PPTP VPN client set up and apply the setting. You will see this VPN client setup below. Just click the Activate and you can activate this VPN tunnel.
        4.Once connected, you can see Connection Status changed to connected. Moreover, you can click Deactivate to disable this VPN tunnel.

         

        1. Login with the username and password you set up for your router account via WebGUI. By default, your user name is admin and password prints on the label on the bottom of Dynalink Router.

        2. Go to Security > VPN > OPENVPNSERVER and enable it.

        3. If you only want to access Dynalink home VPN for certain service, go ahead to Export the OpenVPN Configuration to file (client.ovpn) directly. If you want to route all your Internet traffic through VPN (e.g., to get around some Internet blocking) mechanism), then you need to select the Advanced Settings and select Internet and local network, then export the Open VPN configuration file.

        (client.ovpn)

        4. Modify your ovpn file manually to update your correct IP address. Use a wordpad to open the exported client.ovpn file, you will see the first few lines like below.

        client
        dev tun
        proto udp
        remote 192.168.1.10 1194
        float
        keepalive 10 20
        auth-user-pass
        ns-cert-type server
        comp-lzo adaptive
        reneg-sec 3600
         
        The 192.168.1.10 is Dynalink Router’s WAN IP address assigned by your cable/DSL modem, but not necessarily the Public IP address that can reach your Router. Use Google to find out your real IP address as below.

        Then replace the IP address in client.ovpn file with your public IP address

        remote 192.168.1.10 1194 à remote 150.117.254.146 1194

        5. Add user name and password for login as below picture and write down the name and password.

        6. Your Dynalink Router connects to a modem in most cases. Please check if your modem has integrated Firewall/VPN/Router function. If yes, please set up your Dynalink Router WAN IP address as DMZ IP address for your modem. Therefore, the incoming VPN traffic sends to Dynalink Router and not be blocked by your modem.

        7. Set up your VPN client on the Windows PC. Visit https://openvpn.net/client-connect-vpn-for-windows/ and download and install open VPN Window client.

        8. From the open VPN client, first import the OpenVPN configuration file (client.ovpn) you just edited. Enter the user name and password in step5, then you can connect to Dynalink Router via OpenVPN.
