Section 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-1360 provides up to 300Mbps* 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-1360 is still fully compatible with the 802.11g standards, so it can
connect with existing 802.11g PCI, USB, and Cardbus adapters.
• Advanced Firewall Features - The Web-based user interface displays advanced network management features including
Content Filtering, which allows easily applied content ltering based on MAC Address.
• 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.
Features
This easy setup method allows you to form a secured wireless link between the DAP-1360 and another WPS enabled
device. A PC is no longer needed to log into the Web-based interface.
• 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-1360 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.

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 802.11g 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.

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.
Example: Connect a gaming console using an ethernet cable to the DAP-1360. The unit is set to Wireless Client mode which
will wirelessly connect to a wireless router on your network.

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.

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.
Note: The Bridge 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.

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.

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 dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 (sh
tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
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 is not
in use.
