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.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
The Wireless Range Extender (DAP-1320) enables you to extend your existing wireless network coverage by placing the
Wireless Range Extender in between your router and the wireless client devices. This is great for extending wireless coverage
to basements, home oces or bedrooms that might be distant from your wireless router. The DAP-1320 increases the range
of your wireless network by extending the wireless coverage of an existing wireless network.
Note: Place the DAP-1320 within equal distance of your existing network/router and wireless clients.

•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.

Please refer to your user manual for information on your router or access point make sure you understand how to enable WPS.
Once you know, follow the steps below:
Step 1 - Plug the DAP-1320 into a wall outlet and verify if the power
LED has turned from red to a blinking amber.
Step 3 - Press and hold the WPS button until the light starts blinking
green and then release. Please allow up to two minutes for
the WPS process to nish. Once the connection is successful
