Router D-Link DWR-960 Dual-band Wi-Fi 5

The D-Link DWR-960 Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 router provides continuous internet access by automatically switching to a 4G LTE Cat7 mobile backup when fixed broadband is unavailable. It supports concurrent dual-band Wi‑Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) with combined Wireless AC transfer rates up to 1200 Mbps and mobile throughput up to 300 Mbps, plus Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for reliable wired connections.

Advantages

The DWR-960 delivers uninterrupted connectivity with automatic failover from fixed-line (Fiber/Cable/DSL) to 4G LTE, enabling continued online activity during ISP outages. Dual-band concurrent operation reduces interference and supports more devices simultaneously, while two external high-performance antennas improve mobile signal strength. Built-in SPI and NAT firewalls and WPA/WPA2 encryption provide network security for home or small office use.

Suitable for

• Homes or small offices in areas with unreliable or no fixed-line internet
• Users needing automatic mobile backup during broadband outages
• Streaming, online gaming and remote work across multiple devices
• Locations requiring both wireless AC (Wi‑Fi 5) and Gigabit Ethernet connections

How to use

Insert an active 4G SIM card into the router and connect the router to your modem or directly to a device via Gigabit Ethernet if required. Configure the WAN settings to enable automatic failover so the router switches to 4G LTE when the fixed-line connection fails. Use the web-based setup or the router’s admin interface to configure Wi‑Fi SSIDs, encryption (WPA/WPA2) and firewall settings. Position the router so the external antennas have a clear orientation toward the mobile signal source for optimal reception.

Recommendations

For best performance, place the router in a central, elevated location with minimal obstructions and keep firmware updated. If mobile signal is weak, adjust antenna orientation or consider an external signal booster. Monitor data usage on your mobile plan to avoid unexpected charges when operating on 4G LTE backup.
