Introduction
The D-Link DAP-1325/DAP-1330 N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender extends your Internet connection over Wireless N connection of up
to 300 Mbps1. The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 connects with your existing networking equipment to extend the range and enhance the
capabilities of your home or oce network. This means you can bring Wi-Fi to places where your current signal doesn’t reach, letting
you move from room to room, oce to oce, oor to oor, or yard to yard without losing signal. Enjoy Wi-Fi on your porch, balcony,
next to your pool, breakroom, the far end of your oce, or in your basement. The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 prepares your home to
become a Connected Home by allowing you to install more wireless surveillance cameras, baby monitors, sensors, and alarms in the
places where you want rather just where your old signal reached.
The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender features D-Link’s Smart Signal LED technology which makes nding the
optimal location for your extender a cinch. With other range extenders, it is dicult or impossible to gauge how strong or weak
the connection between an extender and an uplink network is, but the DAP-1325/DAP-1330s Smart Signal LEDs eliminate the
guesswork by giving you instant visual feedback so you can quickly test out multiple locations to nd the best place for the DAP1325/DAP-1330.

you quickly and easily connect the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 to an uplink router, congure the extended wireless network, and manage
the administrative settings. The setup wizard will even guide you through the setup process, getting your extended wireless
network up and running in no time. Alternatively, connect an Ethernet cable to your existing network infrastructure to quickly and
easily create a wireless network.
Compatibility
The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 is fully compatible with now only the latest 802.11n standard, but is also backwards compatible with IEEE
802.11n and g wireless devices, so you can use your existing devices without sacricing performance.
Latest Wireless Network Security and Encryption
The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 supports wireless security features to prevent unauthorized access from the wireless network. Support for
WPA/WPA2 standards ensure that you’ll be able to use the best possible encryption methods with your compatible wireless devices.

What is a Wireless Extender?
The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 acts as a repeater to extend the range of an existing wireless network to provide a better signal for parts
of your home or oce that may have poor or no reception. Your existing wireless signal will be rebroadcast by the DAP-1325/DAP1330, allowing you to reach the farthest corners of your home or oce. The extended network can simply use the same network
credentials as the existing network, or you can specify a dierent network name and password, giving you the exibility to control
network access. You may also use the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 as a wireless access point by connecting an Ethernet cable.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless
network. Keep in mind 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 key to
maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling
can reduce your adapter’s range from 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is
minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) thick, at a 45-degree angle appears to be
almost 1 meter (3 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 14 meters (42 feet) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel
straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range. Try to position access
points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as
glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away at least 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless
connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices
as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.

Section 3 - Conguration
Getting Started
There are several conguration tools you can use to set up your DAP-1325/DAP-1330.
• WPS-PBC - To easily extend an existing wireless network, refer to WPS-PBC Conguration on page 14 for setup
instructions.
• QRS Mobile App - You can use your Android device or iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to congure your extender. Refer to
QRS Mobile App on page 16 for setup instructions.
• D-Link Setup Wizard - This wizard will launch when you log into the Extender’s web conguration utility for the rst
time. Refer to Setup Wizard on page 18 for setup instructions.
• Manual Conguration - Advanced users who wish to manually set up the extender or adjust its settings may refer to
Conguration on page 28 for more information.

Section 3 - Conguration
WPS-PBC Conguration
To connect to a wireless router or access point and extend the Wi-Fi network in your home, rst make sure the source router or
Access Point features a WPS Button or has a virtual WPS Button.
Step 1 - Initiate WPS Mode
While the Status/WPS LED is blinking amber. Push the WPS button on the source
wireless router or AP, and then push the WPS button on the DAP-1325/DAP-1330.
The Status/WPS LED will start to ash green. Please allow up to two minutes for
the process to nish. The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP1325/DAP-1330 has connected successfully to the source wireless router or
access point.
Step 2 - Connecting Devices to the DAP-1325/DAP-1330
The DAP-1325/DAP-1330 is now ready to share the extended Wi-Fi network with
your PCs and mobile devices. You may use the WPS method to connect devices to
the extension networks created by the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 using the following
network names (SSID). The password(s) will be the same as the wireless network
you are extending.

Optimize Extender Location
The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 has connected successfully to a wireless network and is
extending that network. If the Smart Signal LED has a single amber bar after the connection process has nished, the DAP-1325/
DAP-1330 has established a poor quality connection. The more lit bars on the Signal Indicator LED, the better the wireless signal. To
improve the connection quality, the DAP-1325/DAP-1330 should be relocated closer to the source wireless router. If the extender
has been congured as an Access Point and is connected via Ethernet cable to an uplink network, the Smart Signal LED will not be
lit.
