Troubleshooting
Why can’t I connect to my wireless router or my wireless connection drops?
1. Verify that the DAP-1330 is within range of your wireless router. Try plugging it into
a location closer to the router and verify the Status LED is solid green.

connected to the repeater will not get the same speed/throughput as when
connected directly to the router.

1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari) and go to
http://dlinkap.local./ or enter the IP address (http://192.168.0.50 by default).
2. At the login screen, enter your password and click Log in.

settings as needed.
5. Click Save.
Note: If you have changed the Wi-Fi Network name, the device you are currently using to connect to the
DAP-1330 will drop. You will need to open your wireless utility and connect to the DAP-1330 using the

where theWi-Fi signal is still strong. Use the Smart Signal Indicator
to help nd a location with a strong signal. The more bars lit on
the signal indicator, the stronger the Wi-Fi signal is.
