Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link wireless access point 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.
AP/Repeater/Wireless Client Mode How you use your DAP-1360 will determine which mode you choose on the DAP-1360. This section will help you figure out which setting works with your setup. Access Point Mode In Access Point mode, the DAP-1360 acts as a central connection point for any computer (client) that has a 802.11n or backward-compatible 802.11b/g wireless network adapter and is within range of the AP. Clients must use the same SSID (wireless network name) and channel as the AP in order to connect.
Wireless Client Mode In Wireless Client mode, the DAP-1360 acts as a wireless network adapter for your Ethernet-enabled device (such as a game console or a TV set-top box). Connect your Ethernet-enabled device to the AP using an Ethernet cable. AP Client mode can support multiple wired clients.
Appendix A - Wireless Modes Repeater Mode Repeater mode increases the range of your wireless network by extending the wireless coverage of another AP or wireless router. The APs and wireless router (if used) must be within range of each other. Make sure that all clients, APs, and the wireless router all use the same SSID (wireless network name) and channel.
