D-Link DAP-3712 User Manual
Section 2 - Installation
Preparation before Installation
Before installing the DAP-3712, check the distance between the two sides and ensure that they are within wireless signal
range of each other. It may be helpful to use a Graphic Information System (GIS) program such as Google Earth to check for
obstructions between the two sites. If there is an obstruction, it may help to install the DAP-3712 as high as possible to prevent
the signal from being blocked.
Note:
Ensure that both devices have the same model number and are running the same firmware version. The radiation pattern and wireless protocol of
the DAP-3712 is designed for high-performance bridge connectivity. Using different models or models with mismatched firmware versions may cause
problems, such as performance degradation or a reduction in coverage area.
