Introduction

D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the new D-Link DAP-1650 Wireless AC1200 Dual-band Gigabit Range Extender. With the ability to transfer les with a maximum combined wireless signal rate of up to 1200 Mbps1, the DAP-1650 gives you high-speed wireless network access for your home or oce.
The DAP-1650 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-1650 is also backwards compatible with 802.11b/g/n devices. It can be exibly congured to operate in 3 dierent modes: Access Point, Media Bridge, and Repeater. With its setup wizard, the DAP-1650 ensures that you will be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes.
The DAP-1650 features Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) to provide an enhanced level of security for wireless data communications. The DAP-1650 also includes additional security features to keep your wireless connection safe from unauthorized access.
The DAP-1650 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.

Maximum wireless signal rate derived from draft 802.11ac specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network trac, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely aect 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 1 - Product Overview
• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-1650 provides combined wireless speeds of up to 1200 Mbps1 . This capability allows users to participate in real-time activities online, such as video streaming, online gaming, and real-time audio.
• Flexible Operation Modes - The DAP-1650 can operate as an Access Point, Repeater, and Media Bridge, meaning that you can customize its operation to suit your specic networking requirements.
• Gigabit Ethernet Ports - The built-in Gigabit Ethernet ports facilitate a wired connection of up to 1 Gbps, meaning that wired devices can also take advantage of the DAP-1650’s high-speed wireless capabilities.
• Compatible with IEEE 802.11n/g/b/a Devices - The DAP-1650 is still fully compatible with the 802.11n/g/b/a standards, so it can connect with existing wireless adapters found on older devices.
• Robust Security - Use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to create a secure connection to new devices in a matter of seconds by simply pushing a button or entering a PIN. There’s also WPA/WPA2 security encryption, allowing you to customize your network’s security.

Features

• User-friendly Setup Wizard - Through its easy-to-use web-based user interface, the DAP-1650 lets you control what information is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet or from your company’s server. Congure your device to your specic settings within minutes.

Installation

Please congure the DAP-1650 with a computer connected directly to the device. The following pages will explain the dierent operational modes you can use.

Operation Modes

The DAP-1650 features three operation modes, enabling you to customize it to your networking requirements. Please refer to the following sections to determine which mode is most suitable for your network.
• Access Point mode - page 11
• Repeater mode - page 12
• Media Bridge mode - page 13

Section 2 - Installation

Access Point Mode

Access Point (AP) mode adds wireless capability to your existing wired network. The DAP-1650 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.

Repeater Mode
In Repeater mode, the DAP-1650 extends the range of your existing wireless network by repeating the wireless signal of another access point or wireless router. The DAP-1650 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.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The DAP-1650 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Range Extender 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:
• Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the device 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.
• 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.
• Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect 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 (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
• Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
• 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 aected. 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.
