ability to transfer les with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 150 Mbps*, the DAP-1160L gives you high-speed wireless
network access for your home or oce.
The DAP-1160L is Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11n compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11n compatible
wireless client devices. The DAP-1160L is also backwards compatible with 802.11b/g. With its Setup Wizard, the DAP-1160L
ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes.
The DAP-1160L features Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) to provide an enhanced level of security for wireless
data communications. The DAP-1160L also includes additional security features to keep your wireless connection safe from
unauthorized access.
The DAP-1160L supports WPS in AP operation mode and can be conveniently set up using the PIN method or Push Button.

Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-1160L provides up to 150 Mbps* wireless connection with other 802.11n
wireless clients. This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online
gaming, and real-time audio.
• Compatible with IEEE802.11g Devices - The DAP-1160L is still fully compatible with the 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11g PCI, USB, and Cardbus adapters.
• WPS PBC- (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Push Button Conguration) Push Button Conguration is a button that can be pressed
to add the device to an existing network or to create a new network. A virtual button can be used on the utility while
a physical button is placed on the side of the device.
This easy setup method allows you to form a secured wireless link between the DAP-1160L and another WPS enabled
device. A PC is no longer needed to log into the Web-based interface.
Features
• WPS PIN - (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Personal Identication Number) A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add
the access point to an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of
the access point. For extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time. Only the
Administrator (“admin” account) can change or reset the PIN.
• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DAP-1160L lets you control what
information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server.
Congure your access point to your specic settings within minutes.

11D-Link DAP-1160L User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
The DAP-1160L acts as a central connection point for any computer (client) that has a 802.11n or backward-compatible 802.11g
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. In Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect to the AP at the same time.
