Troubleshooting

Why is my DAP-1820 not connecting or dropping signal from my router?

1. Verify that the DAP-1820 is within range of your wireless router. Try plugging it into

a location closer to the router and verify the Status LED is solid green.

Note: 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-1820?

1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari) and go to

http://dlinkap.local./

2. At the login screen, enter your password and click Log in.

3. Go to Settings > Extender.

4. Enter a new Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and modify the security (Wi-Fi password)

settings as needed.

5. Click Save.

Note: If you have changed the Wi-Fi Network name, the device you are currently using to connect to the

DAP-1820 will drop. You will need to open your wireless utility and connect to the DAP-1820 using the

new network name and password.

Where should I place my DAP-1820 when using it as a range extender?

A Range Extender only works as well as the signal it is extending.

Therefore, proper placement of your DAP-1820 is important in

achieving desired results.

For best performance, place your DAP-1820 in between your

router and your dead zone, making sure it is placed in a location

where theWi-Fi signal is still strong. Use the Smart Signal Indicator

to help nd a location with a strong signal. The more bars lit on

the signal indicator, the stronger the Wi-Fi signal is.
