If any of the items are missing, please contact your reseller. • D-Link DAP-1360 Wireless N Access Point • Power Supply • Manual on CD • Quick Installation Guide • Ethernet Cable WARNING: Using a power supply with a different voltage rating than the one included with the DAP-1360 will cause damage and void the warranty for this product.
Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the new D-Link Wireless N Access Point(DAP-1360). With the ability to transfer files with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 300Mbps1, the DAP-1360 gives you high-speed wireless network access for your home or office. The DAP-1360 is Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11n compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11n compatible wireless client devices.
Section 1 - Product Overview Features • Connects homes and small offices to a high-speed wireless network - This AP provides better wireless signals for your computers than earlier generation wireless 802.11g technology. Adding this wireless AP to your home and office provides an excellent solution for doing everyday activities such as transferring files, browsing the Internet, and downloading music.
Section 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview Connections LAN Port: Connects to an Ethernet-enabled device such as a computer, switch or router. Power Socket: Connects to the power adapter. D-Link DAP-1360 User Manual RESET: Restores the access point’s configuration to its original factory default settings.
Section 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview LEDs LAN: A blinking green condition indicates data is being transferred through the LAN port; a solid green condition indicates the LAN port connection is OK. Power: A solid green condition indicates the device has been successfully connected to a power source. WLAN: A blinking green condition indicates wireless activity is taking place; a solid green condition indicates wireless connections are OK.
Section 1 - Product Overview LEDs WPS LED: A solid light indicates a successful WPS connection. A blinking light indicates the device is trying to establish a connection.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation 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.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation Seven Configuration Operation Modes How your AP will operate depends on which operation mode you select. This section will help you figure out which setting works for different requirements. Access Point Mode In the 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 interface and is within range of the AP.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation Wireless Client Mode In the 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. The AP Client mode can support multiple wired clients.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation Repeater Mode In the Repeater mode, the DAP-1360 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.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation Bridge Mode In the Bridge mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects seperate LANs that can’t easily be connected together with a cable. For example, if there are two wired LANs separated by a small courtyard, it would be expensive to bury cables to connect between the two sides together. A better solution is to use two DAP-1360 units to wirelessly connect the two LANs. In the Bridge mode, both DAP-1360 units do not act as APs.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation Bridge with AP Mode The Bridge with AP mode is the same as the Bridge mode, but in this case, the DAP-1360 also acts as an AP. Clients with wireless interfaces can wirelessly connect to the DAP-1360 and then connect to the other LAN that the DAP-1360 bridges to. Note: The Bridge with AP mode is not specified in the Wi-Fi or IEEE standards. This mode will only work using two DAP-1360 units. Communication with other APs (even other D-Link APs) is not guaranteed.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation WISP Client Router Mode In the WISP Client Router mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) AP. In this mode, the DAP-1360 also acts as a router for wired clients on your LAN and provides NAT (Network Address Translation) and a DHCP server to generate IP addresses for wired clients only. NAT and the DHCP server allow many computers to share the same wireless Internet connection.
Section 2 - Wireless Installation WISP Repeater Mode In the WISP Repeater mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) AP. In this mode, the DAP-1360 also acts as a router for both wireless and wired clients on your LAN. The WISP Repeater mode provides NAT (Network Address Translation) and a DHCP server to generate IP addresses for both wireless and wired clients. NAT and the DHCP server allow many computers to share the same wireless Internet connection.
Section 3 - Configuration Configuration Web-based Configuration Utility If you wish to change the default settings or optimize the performance of the DAP-1360, you may use the configuration utility that D-Link has included a configuration utility for this purpose.

Appendix B - Wireless Basics Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on the latest industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business, or public wireless networks. Strictly adhering to IEEE standards, the D-Link wireless family of products allows you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
Appendix B - Wireless Basics What is Wireless? Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio waves to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network. Why D-Link Wireless? D-Link is a worldwide leader and an award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford.
Appendix B - Wireless Basics Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPANs. Bluetooth devices in WPANs operate in a range up to 30 feet away. The speed and wireless operation range of a WPAN is less than of a WLAN, but it excels in its efficient consumption of power. WPANs are ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.
Appendix B - Wireless Basics Where is wireless used? Wireless technology is quickly expanding beyond home and office use. The freedom of mobility it offers is becoming so popular that more and more public facilities are now providing wireless access to attract people. Public places that offer wireless access is usually called a “hotspot”.
Appendix B - Wireless Basics Security Don’t let your next-door neighbors or unwanted intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WEP or WPA security feature on the access point. Refer to the section “Wireless Security” in this manual for detailed information on how to set it up. Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking: • Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.
Appendix C - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the address is 0.
