Triple Play VLAN allows support for ISPs who offer a multi-service plan. Services such as Internet, voice (VoIP), and video (IPTV) can connect with a single WAN connection and you can then separate each channel to a specific port. For example, you can set all VoIP traffic to port 4 on the router and then connect any VoIP devices to that port.

Note: The D-Link DIR-890L requires firmware version 1.11B02.

To configure, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Open your web browser and type in http://dlinkrouter.local. or type in the IP address of the router (default – http://192.168.0.1).

Step 2: Enter your router password and then click Log In.

Step 3: Click on Settings and then click Internet.

Step 4: Click the VLAN tab (or click Advanced Settings).

Step 5: Click either VLAN Settings or Status to Enable.

Step 6: Enter the VLAN ID (supplied by your ISP) for each service. You can enable Priority ID and select from the drop-down for each service. Under Interface Traffic Type Settings, assign a service to a LAN port on the router. Click Save.

Step 4: Select Create a new Covr network and tap Next.

Step 5: Unplug the power to your modem or gateway. Tap Next.

Step 6: Connect the Ethernet cable from your modem/gateway into port 1 on the Covr point A. Tap Next.

Note: Do not plug anyting into port 2 during setup.

Step 7: Power the modem/gateway back on and wait for it to boot up. Tap Next.

Step 8: Power the Covr point A on and wait for the LED to start blinking orange. Tap Next.

Step 9: From your mobile device, scan for available Wi-Fi networks and connect to the pre-defined SSID (located on the Configuration card or on the bottom of the device) example: dlink-6AD2

Step 10: Tap Next. The router will perform a scan to determine the type of internet service you have. If successful, the Internet Setup will be skipped, otherwise you will be prompted for additional information. For PPPoE connections, you will be prompted to enter your PPPoE username and password. If you do not have this information, you need to contact your ISP.

Step 11: Enter a new Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and a Wi-Fi password for your new network. Tap Next.

Step 12: Enter a password for the Covr router and Covr Points. This password is used to access the web-based UI of the router. Tap Next.

Step 13: A summary page will display your settings. Tap Save.

Step 14: Place the remaining Covr Point(s) anywhere between Covr Point A and the area you want to extend your wireless network to.

Step 15: Power on the two other COVR Points, wait for them to flash orange, then tap Next.

Step 16: The Covr LED”s should now light up solid white, this means the the Wi-Fi system is ready to use, tap Next.

Note: Check the LED indicator on your Covr Points to ensure a good connection:

– Solid White – Strong signal

– Blinking White – Weak signal. Move your Covr Point closer to the Covr Point A until the LED is solid white.

– Blinking Amber – Covr Point(s) cannot receive a signal. Move your Covr Point(s) closer to the Covr Point A until the LED is solid white.

Step 17: You can connect your Wi-Fi devices to your Covr Wi-Fi network through any of the Covr Points using your Wi-Fi name and password you created. Tap Finish to complete the setup process.

Step 4: Configure the following:

• Slot/Port – Specifies all CoS configurable interfaces. The option Global represents the most recent global configuration settings.
  These may be overridden on a per-interface basis.
• Queue ID – Specifies the queue ID.
• Minimum Bandwidth – Specifies the minimum guaranteed bandwidth alloted to this queue. The value 0 means no guaranteed minimum.
  The total of individual minimum bandwidth values for all queues in the selected interface cannot exceed 100.
• Scheduler Type – Specifies the type of scheduling used for this queue, it can only be either Strict or Weighted.
