General Information
The DAP-1325 device is a wireless extender designed to increase the operational range of your
wireless networ . The extender supports operation with wireless devices of the standards 802.11b,
802.11g, and 802.11n (at the rate up to 300Mbps).
The device supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, different operation modes (repeater, client, access point),
WPS, WMM.
The wireless extender is equipped with one Fast Ethernet LAN port, which can be used to connect a
wired client to the extender or to connect DAP-1325 to a wired router.
The LED clearly shows the signal level of the wireless networ to which DAP-1325 is connected.
Due to this, you can easily find the best location for the extender.
You can configure the settings of the DAP-1325 device via the user-friendly web-based interface
(the interface is available in two languages – in Russian and in English).
The configuration wizard allows you to quic ly switch the extender to the access point, repeater, or
client mode and configure all needed settings for the selected mode in several simple steps.
Now you can simply update the firmware: when the Internet access is provided, the extender itself
finds approved firmware on D-Lin update server and notifies when ready to install it.
