You will need this information to connect your computer or mobile device to the default network (SSID) of your DAP-1325/DAP-1330. This information is also provided on the included Wi-Fi configuration card.
Section 2 - Installation Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through may limit the range.
Section 2 - Installation Antenna Setup The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 is designed to give you the fastest, most stable network connection possible. In order to maximize performance, fully extend the antennas to provide optimal wireless coverage. Keep the extender in an open area for better wireless coverage.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Setup Plug the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 into a wall outlet, and wait until the Status/WPS LED is blinking amber.
Section 3 - Configuration Getting Started There are several configuration tools you can use to set up your DAP-1325/DAP-1330. • WPS-PBC - To easily extend an existing wireless network, refer to WPS-PBC Configuration on page 14 for setup instructions. • QRS Mobile App - You can use your Android device or iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to configure your extender. Refer to QRS Mobile App on page 16 for setup instructions.
Section 3 - Configuration WPS-PBC Configuration To connect to a wireless router or access point and extend the Wi-Fi network in your home, first make sure the source router or Access Point features a WPS Button or has a virtual WPS Button. Step 1 - Initiate WPS Mode While the Status/WPS LED is blinking amber. Push the WPS button on the source wireless router or AP, and then push the WPS button on the DAP-1325/DAP-1330. The Status/WPS LED will start to flash green.
Section 2 - Installation Optimize Extender Location The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 has connected successfully to a wireless network and is extending that network. If the Smart Signal LED has a single amber bar after the connection process has finished, the DAP-1325/ DAP-1330 has established a poor quality connection. The more lit bars on the Signal Indicator LED, the better the wireless signal.
Section 2 - Installation QRS Mobile App The QRS Mobile app allows you to install and configure your router from your mobile device. Note: The screenshots may be different depending on your mobile device’s OS version. Step 1 Search for the free QRS Mobile App on the App Store or Google Play.
