Certifications
1. For a list of compatible 3G USB adapters, check your local D-Link website.
2. Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE standard specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.
3. For an optimal streaming experience, 2 MB of upload bandwidth is recommended.
4. The DIR-518L only supports charging on the USB port (1 A) in Charger mode.
