Section 2 - Installation Installation Please configure the DAP-1360 with a computer connected directly to the AP. The next few pages will explain the different operational modes you can use. Operation Modes Depending on how you want to use your DAP-1360 will determine which mode you use. This section will help you figure out which setting works with your setup.
Section 2 - Installation 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. Clients must use the same SSID (wireless network name) and channel as the AP in order to connect. If wireless security is enabled on the AP, the client will need to enter a password to connect to the AP.
Section 2 - 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. If you are going to connect several Ethernet-enabled devices to your DAP-1360, connect the LAN port of the DAP-1360 to an Ethernet switch, then connect your devices to this switch.
Section 2 - Installation Repeater Mode In 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), channel, and security settings.
Section 2 - Installation Bridge Mode In the Bridge mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects seperate local area networks (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 - 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 - 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 - 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 2 - 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.

When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting • Configure your Internet settings: • Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their defaults. • Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting 3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my access point? If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail, we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc). Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400. To find the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented packet. Take that value and add 28 to the value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the network we’re working with (1452+28=1480). Once you find your MTU, you can now configure your access point with the proper MTU size.

D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30 feet away. Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Where is wireless used? Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Security Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the access point. Refer to product manual for detail 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 bridge.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link 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.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/access point, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Step 1 Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties. Step 2 Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
