Before starting though we would need to understand a little about the right placement of your device to ensure best possible connection quality you can receive from your router. These little checks would include:

  • Make sure that the devices that are needed to be connected to the router are placed with the least possible number of walls between them.
  • Materials make a massive difference in the overall range and data transfer speeds. Mirrors, steel beams, any other objects that can dissipate or weaken your Wi-Fi signal should not be placed between router and devices
  • Make sure that the D-Link device is at least a couple of meters away from electrical devices or those which create a lot of RF noise.

After this, we are ready to connect the device to the internet. To do this first make the appropriate connections i.e. connect the power cord to the device and then connect the modem’s LAN port to the WAN port of the router using an Ethernet cable. Now to begin the setup process with the QRS or Quick Router Setup mode, follow the steps below:

  • Download the QRS mobile application from the Google Play for your Android device or the iTunes App store for Mac. Complete the setup of the app.
  • Connect this device to the router. To do that, connect to the SSID that’s printed on the label at the bottom of the router and use the password as the one mentioned on the label too.
  • Having connected your phone to the router, open the QRS mobile app and launch the application to start the setup process.
  • The welcome screen will open and will tell you about the steps we would be performing next. Press next once you end up on the Operation mode screen.
  • At this step, make sure that your router is connected to the modem. If this process is completed beforehand, simply press next to detect the internet connection.
  • Since your D-Link AC1750 DIR-859 router is powered with two different bands running on 2.4 and 5 GHz, you will need to setup the SSID and password for both. Choose an SSID name for both or you can leave it as it is, however, it is recommended that you do. Next, enter the password of a minimum 8 characters and press next.
  • Next you device password needs to be set up which is the password you’ll be asked to change the configurations of the router. It is also known as the Admin Password. It is recommended that you do however losing it will result in having your router brought back to factory settings.
  • You will be shown the summary of the settings you’ve just selected. A simple press of next will complete your settings.

You have now successfully completed the setup of your new D-Link AC1750 DIR-859 router using the QRS application.
