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. 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 access point and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) 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 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect
on range. Try to position access points, wireless access points, and computers so that the signal passes
through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation,
water (
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate
RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz 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
2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal
even if the phone in not in use.
sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

Seven Configuration Operation Modes
How your AP will operate depends on which operation mode you select. This section will help you gure 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. 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 the Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect
to the AP at the same time.

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. 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 - 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.
Note: The Bridge mode is not specied 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.

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 specied 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.

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.
If you are a WISP subscriber and want to access your WISP account using wired computers, connect your computers
to the DAP-1360 to get NAT, and then connect them to the WISP AP.

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.
If you are a WISP subscriber and want to use your WISP account in your house, but the signals from the outdoor WISP
AP are not strong enough to reach all of the areas in the house, use the DAP-1360 to can extend the signals from the
outdoor WISP AP and provide access to wireless clients in your house. Using this mode, wireless as well as wired
clients can connect to the outdoor WISP AP through the DAP-1360.
