Wireless
Router
A Range Extender only works as well as the signal it is extending.
Therefore, proper placement of your DAP-1120 is important in
achieving desired results.
Ideal Placement
Wireless
Router
For best performance, place your DAP-1120 in between your
router and your dead zone, making sure it’s placed in a location
where the signal is still strong.

The LED will start to blink.
When the LED turns solid green, this indicates that the DAP-1120 is
securely connected to your wireless router or access point. If the LED is
solid amber, the DAP-1120 is too far from your router. Try moving it to a
closer location.
Connect Your Wireless Devices
From your wireless device, go to the Wireless Utility to display
5
the available wireless networks and select the Wi-Fi Network
Name (SSID) for the DAP-1120.
When using WPS to connect to the router, the SSID on the
DAP-1120 will automatically be assigned the following:

The Wi-Fi password for your router will be the same password
for the DAP-1120.
To connect additional Wi-Fi devices to the DAP-1120, repeat
this step.

6
connect to your wireless router. If you want to change your

Troubleshooting
Why can’t I connect to my wireless router or my wireless
connection drops?
1. Verify that the DAP-1120 is within range of your wireless router. Try
plugging it into a location closer to the router and verify the LED is
solid green.
2. If you initially connected the DAP-1120 to your router and it no longer
connects, log in to your router and change the wireless security to
WPA2 only (do not use auto detect).
3. Try setting your wireless router to a specic channel (1, 6, or 11)
instead of “auto”.
4. Note that when repeating a wireless signal from a router or access
point, devices connected to the repeater will not get the same speed/
throughput as when connected directly to the router.
How do I change the wireless settings on the DAP-1120?
1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome)
and go to http://dlinkap.local./ (or http://dlinkap on Windows XP).
2. At the login screen, click or press the Log in button (no password by
default).
3. Go to Settings > Extended Wi-Fi Settings.
4. Enter a new wireless name (SSID) and password.
5. Click or press Save.
Note: If you have changed the Wi-Fi Network name, the device you are
currently using to connect to the DAP-1120 will drop. You will need to
open your wireless utility and connect to the DAP-1120 using the new
network name and password.
What if I forgot my DAP-1120 password?
1. If you forgot your password or want to reset the DAP-1120 back to
the factory default settings, press and hold the reset button using
a paper clip and release after 10 seconds.
Warning: This process will erase all your settings.
2. You may repeat the WPS process on the other side of this QIG or
log in and run the Setup Wizard. Follow the steps under Congure
the DAP-1120.
