Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the new D-Link DAP-1665 Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Access Point. With the ability to transfer files with a maximum combined wireless signal rate of up to 1200 Mbps1, the DAP-1665 gives you highspeed wireless network access for your home or office.
The DAP-1665 is compliant with the latest draft IEEE 802.11ac standard, meaning that it can connect and inter-operate with other 802.11ac compatible wireless client devices. The DAP-1665 is also backwards compatible with 802.11b/g/n devices. It can be flexibly configured to operate in 5 different modes: Access Point, Wireless Client, Bridge, Bridge with AP, and Repeater. With its setup wizard, the DAP-1665 ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes.
The DAP-1665 features Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) to provide an enhanced level of security for wireless data communications. The DAP-1665 also includes additional security features to keep your wireless connection safe from unauthorized access.
The DAP-1665 also supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), repeater and wireless client operation modes each capable of being conveniently set up by using the PIN or Push Button methods.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from draft 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely affect wireless signal range. Wireless range and speed rates are D-Link RELATIVE performance measurements based on the wireless range and speed rates of a standard Wireless N product from D-Link.

Section 2 - Installation
Access Point Mode
Access Point (AP) mode adds wireless capability to your existing wired network. The DAP-1665 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. If wireless security is enabled on the access point, the client will need to enter a password to connect. In Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect wirelessly to the network at the same time.

Section 2 - Installation
Wireless Client Mode
In Wireless Client mode, the DAP-1665 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 access point using an Ethernet cable, and enjoy wired speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
If you are going to connect several Ethernet-enabled devices to your DAP-1665, connect the LAN port of the DAP-1665 to an Ethernet switch, then connect your devices to this switch.
Example: Connect a gaming console using an Ethernet cable to the DAP-1665. 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-1665 extends the range of your existing wireless network by repeating the wireless signal of another access point or wireless router. The DAP-1665 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.

Bridge Mode
In Bridge mode, the DAP-1665 creates a wireless link between two existing networks, enabling data to be shared between the two networks without the need for a physical connection. The two networks must be within wireless reach of one another in order for bridge mode to be effective.
Note: Bridge mode is not specified in the Wi-Fi or IEEE standards. This mode will only work using two DAP-1665 units. Compatibility with other APs (even other D-Link APs) is not guaranteed.

Bridge with AP Mode
Bridge with AP mode has the same features of Bridge mode, but adds the functionality of Access Point mode, meaning that wireless clients can connect to one of the DAP-1665s and have access to both networks via the wireless bridge.
Note: The Bridge with AP mode is not specified in the Wi-Fi or IEEE standards. This mode will only work using two DAP-1665 units. Compatibility with other APs (even other D-Link APs) is not guaranteed.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DAP-1665 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 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 appears 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 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 (fish tanks), mirrors, file 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 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may also be affected. 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.
