Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
TheWireless Range Extender (DAP-1320) enables you to extend your existing wireless network coverage by placing theWireless
Range Extender in between your router and your wireless client devices. This is great for extending your wireless coverage to
hard-to-reach places like basements, home oces or upstairs bedrooms that are distant from your wireless router. The Wireless
Range Extender is also ideal for mobile device connections.
Note: Place the DAP-1320 within equal distance of your existing network/router and wireless clients.

What is a Wireless Extender?
The DAP-1320 acts as a repeater to extend the range of an existing wireless network to provide better signal for parts of your
home or oce that may have poor or no reception.Your existing wireless signal will be rebroadcast by the DAP-1320, allowing you
to reach the farthest corners of your home or oce . The extended network can simply use the same network credentials as the
existing network, or you can specify a dierent network name and password, giving you the exibility to control network access.

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-1320 provides up to 300Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n
wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming,
online gaming, and real-time audio.
• Extend Internet access for wireless devices - Allows you to extend your internet access throughout your
home with devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and more.
• IEEE 802.11n and 802.11g Compliant - The DAP-1320 is still fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11g standards,
so it can connect with existing 802.11g USB and Cardbus adapters.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely
aect wireless signal range.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless device lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the
operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings,
or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types
of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to
follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link device and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle
appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position
devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range.
Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le
cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not
in use.

Connect Your DAP-1320 to Your Router Using WPS
Step 2 - Press the WPS button on your wireless router.
The easiest and most secure way to connect your DAP-1320 to your the router or access point is with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup). Refer to your user manual for your router or access point to make sure you understand how to enable WPS. Once you
know, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Find an available outlet near your wireless router. Plug the
DAP-1320 in, and wait until the power LED is blinking amber.
Step 3 - Within one minute, press and hold the WPS button on the
DAP-1320 until the light starts blinking green and then release.
Allow up to two minutes for the WPS process to nish.

Step 6 - To connect your wireless clients to the DAP-1320, You can
use the Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and the Wi-Fi Password
located on your Wi-Fi Conguration Card. Or use WPS (Wi-Fi
Protected Setup). Refer to “Connecting to Wireless Clients
Using WPS”on page 37.
Step 4 - Your router or access point and DAP-1320 will be securely
connected when the LED light turns solid green.
Note: If your devices are not connected, try moving your DAP-1320 closer
to your wireless router or access point and repeat steps 2 and 3.
Note: For your wireless client to connect to the DAP-1320, you must use the same Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and Wi-Fi Password
as your DAP-1320 that is located on the Wi-Fi Conguration Card. If you would like to change your Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and
Wi-Fi Password refer to “Extended Wi-Fi Settings” on page 25.
Step 5 - You can now unplug and move the DAP-1320 to a location
between your wireless router and the area that you need to
extend wireless coverage to.

* The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. Once the DAP-1320 connects to your router, it will get assigned a new
IP address based on your router/network’s DHCP settings. You will need to log in to your router and view the
DHCP table to see what IP address was assigned to the DAP-1320. The MAC address is printed on the label on
the DAP-1320.
