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/Router Mode How you use your DAP-1150 will determine which mode you choose on the DAP-1150. This section will help you figure out which setting works with your setup. Access Point Mode In Access Point mode, the DAP-1150 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.
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.
Router Mode In the Router mode, the DAP-1150 connects to a broadband modem. In this mode, the DAP-1150 also acts as a router for wireless clients on your network and provides NAT (Network Address Translation) and a DHCP server to generate IP addresses. NAT and the DHCP server allow many computers to share the same Internet connection. When DAP-1150 operates as Router mode, the ethernet port of DAP-1150 is configured as WAN interface, you will need to connect wirelessly to the DAP-1150 to configure it.
