Section 2 - Installation Installation Please configure the DAP-1650 with a computer connected directly to the device. The following pages will explain the different operational modes you can use. Operation Modes The DAP-1650 features three operation modes, enabling you to customize it to your networking requirements. Please refer to the following sections to determine which mode is most suitable for your network.
Section 2 - Installation Access Point Mode Access Point (AP) mode adds wireless capability to your existing wired network. The DAP-1650 acts as a central connection point for any computer (client) that has an 802.11ac or backwards compatible 802.11n/g/b/a wireless network interface and is within range of the access point. Clients must connect to the network name (SSID) broadcast by the access point in order to wirelessly access the network.
Section 2 - Installation Repeater Mode In Repeater mode, the DAP-1650 extends the range of your existing wireless network by repeating the wireless signal of another access point or wireless router. The DAP-1650 and wireless router (if used) must be within range of each other. The extended wireless network can use the same SSID and security settings as the existing network, or you can choose to specify a new network name and security method.
Section 2 - Installation Media Bridge Mode In Media Bridge mode, the DAP-1650 creates a wireless link between two existing networks, and enables you to attach a wired device to a wireless network.The two networks must be within wireless reach of one another in order for bridge mode to be effective.
Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations The DAP-1650 wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of the device. 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.

The following instructions for setting this up depends on whether you are using Windows Vista to configure the router or third party software. When you first set up the router, Wi-Fi protection is disabled and unconfigured. To enjoy the benefits of Wi-Fi protection, the router must be both enabled and configured.
Section 5 - Connecting to a Wireless Network Using Windows® XP Windows® XP users may use the built-in wireless utility (Zero Configuration Utility). The following instructions are for Service Pack 2 users. If you are using another company’s utility or Windows® 2000, please refer to the user manual of your wireless adapter for help with connecting to a wireless network. Most utilities will have a “site survey” option similar to the Windows® XP utility as seen below.
Section 5 - Connecting to a Wireless Network Configure WPA-PSK It is recommended to enable WEP on your wireless router or access point before configuring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an existing network, you will need to know the WEP key being used. 1. Open the Windows® XP Wireless Utility by right-clicking on the wireless computer icon in your system tray (lower-right corner of screen). Select View Available Wireless Networks. 2.
Section 5 - Connecting to a Wireless Network 3. The Wireless Network Connection box will appear. Enter the WPAPSK passphrase and click Connect. It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless network. If the connection fails, please verify that the WPA-PSK settings are correct. The WPA-PSK passphrase must be exactly the same as on the wireless router.
Section 6 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-1650. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. 1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility? When entering the name or IP address of the D-Link access point (http://dlinkap.local for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet.
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. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK. • Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
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.
Appendix A - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your 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. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.) At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Appendix A - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Step 1 Windows® 7 - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Setting. Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections.
