Introduction
D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the new D-Link DAP-3410 Wireless N Exterior Access Point. With the ability
to transfer les with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 300 Mbps1, the DAP-3410 gives you ability to add high-speed
wireless network access to places outside of your internal networking environment. Additional operation modes such as WDS
and WISP also make the DAP-3410 perfect for those needing to span longer distances wirelessly.
The DAP-3410 is Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11n compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11n compatible
wireless client devices. The DAP-3410 is also compatible with devices that comply with the 802.11a standard. With its Setup
Wizard, the DAP-3410 ensures that you will be up and running a wireless network in just a matter of minutes.
The DAP-3410 features Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) to provide an enhanced level of security for wireless
data communications. The DAP-3410 also includes additional security features to keep your wireless connection safe from
unauthorized access.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Ultimate Performance
The D-Link Wireless N Exterior Access Point (DAP-3410) is an 802.11n compliant device that delivers real world performance of up to 300
Mbps2, much faster than an 802.11g wireless connection (also faster than a 100 Mbps wired Ethernet connection). Create a secure wireless
network to share photos, les, music, video, printers, and network storage outside of your normal internal networking environment.
Built to withstand harsh environments, the DAP-3410 also excels in connecting separate networks that cannot be joined physically using
traditional medium. The built-in 15dBi sector antenna is designed to deliver high powered performance, ensuring that wireless
coverage will cover even hard to reach locations.
Multiple Operation Modes
The DAP-3410 features seven dierent operation modes, allowing it to adapt to any situation. As a standard wireless access
point (AP) the DAP-3410 can connect to a wide range of devices that are 802.11 a/n compliant. In wireless distribution system
(WDS) mode it can expand current wireless coverage without the need for a wired backbone link. As a wireless client it can
connect to an existing AP, and expand the network physically with the two built-in 10/100 Ethernet ports. Repeater mode will
extend current wireless coverage eliminating dead spots and weak signals.
Also built into the DAP-3410 is WISP mode, which expands functionality for long range communications by including the
ability to function as a client or repeater. In WISP Repeater mode, the AP wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet
Service Provider) AP and repeats the signal received from the WISP. In this mode, the AP also acts as a router for both wireless
and wired clients on your LAN. In WISP Client Router mode, the AP wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet Service
Provider) AP and acts as a router for wired clients on the LAN, to allow the client to still access the Internet even though it is
using wireless technology.
Total Security
The DAP-3410 supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption and WPA/WPA2 security functions. In addition, it provides MAC Address
Filtering to control user access, and the Disable SSID Broadcast function to limit unauthorized access to the internal network.
Network administrators have multiple options for managing the DAP-3410, including Web (HTTP) or Secured Web (HTTPS).
For advanced network management, administrators can use SNMP v1, v2c, v3 to congure and manage access points.

• Faster Wireless Networking - The DAP-3410 provides an up to 300 Mbps2 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 IEEE802.11a/n Devices - The DAP-3410 is still fully compatible with the 802.11a/n standards, so it
can connect with existing 802.11a/n adapters.
• Built-in High Gain Sector Antenna - The DAP-3410 comes equipped with a high powered 15 dBi antenna that helps
to provide better wireless coverage and increases signal strength.
• PoE Passthrough - The DAP-3410 supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) which enables it to be supplied with Ethernet
over a power cable. It can also power D-Link surveillance cameras such as the DCS-3716, DCS-6113, and DCS-7110.
Features
• Convenient Installation - The DAP-3410 features a wall/pole mount in the rear for easy setup on poles or walls.
• Rugged Construction - The DAP-3410 is built to withstand harsh environments, and is compliant with the Waterproof
IPX6 Standard.

Installation
First, you will need to congure the DAP-3410 with a computer connected directly to the unit. The following pages explains
how to set up the DAP-3410 in order to be properly congured and then tested to work as desired.
The DAP-3410 acts as a central connection point for any device (client) that has a 802.11n or a 802.11a 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.
STEP 1: Connect an Ethernet Cable to the LAN (PoE) Port on the AP.
The port connection cover can be
removed using a a small amount of force
so that it pops o. It can be reattached
by snapping it back into place.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link Wireless N Exterior 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 5 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 5 Hz 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.
