Introduction
Features
Easily Extend Your Existing Network
The DAP-1330 N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender lets you easily extend a secure wireless network with a press of a button. Connect the
DAP-1330 to a router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and share your high-speed Internet access in more places throughout your home or small
oce.
High-speed Wireless Performance With Wireless 802.11n Technology
Thanks to the latest Wireless N technology, the DAP-1330 provides a wireless connection at up to 300 Mbps* with other 802.11n
wireless devices. This feature lets you participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time
audio with smooth performance.
Simple Setup
All it takes is a press of a button to connect compatible WPS devices to the DAP-1330. Its easy-to-use web interface lets you quickly
and easily connect the 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-1330 is fully compatible with 802.11n, and it is also backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11g/b wireless devices, so you can
use your existing devices without sacricing performance.
Latest Wireless Network Security and Encryption
The 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.
* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from standard IEEE specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume
of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead may lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental conditions will adversely aect wireless
signal range.

Section 1 - Product Overview
What is a Wireless Extender?
The 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 re-broadcast by the DAP-1330, 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-1330 as a wireless access point by connecting an Ethernet cable.

The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP-1330 has connected successfully to an uplink wireless network and is
extending that network. If the Signal Indicator LED has a single amber bar after the connection process has nished, the 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-1330 should be relocated closer to the source wireless router.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The DAP-1330 lets you extend your existing wireless network’s coverage as long as it is within range of the uplink network. Keep in
mind that the DAP-1330’s extension network’s range may be limited by the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other
objects that the wireless signals must pass through. 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 extender 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 (0.5 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 extenders, 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 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 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.
