FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

?

Why can’t I connect to my wireless router or my wireless connection 

drops?

1. Verify that your Range Extender 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.

2. Note that when extending a wireless signal from a router or access point, 

devices connected to the Range Extender will not get the same speed/
throughput as when connected directly to the router. 

How do I change the wireless settings on my Range Extender?

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

to the URL found on the Quick Installation Card or on the side of the Range 
Extender (i.e., http://dlinkapXXXX.local./).

2. At the login screen, enter your Admin Password (If WPS Setup was used, the 

password is “password” by default) 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.

What is Mesh Smart Roaming?

With Mesh Smart Roaming, your Wi-Fi device (e.g. SmartPhone, Tablet) will 
automatically roam to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, eliminating the need to 
switch between your Router’s and Range Extender’s Wi-Fi signal as you 
move around your home.

Mesh Smart Roaming Requirements:

1. The Wi-Fi device (e.g. SmartPhone, Tablet) 

must support the 802.11k/v 

standard.

  

2. The Wireless Name (SSID) & Wireless Password 

must be the same

 

on both the Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender and your Wireless Router.

What if I forgot my Range Extender’s Admin password 

or want to reset my Range Extender?

1. If you forgot your Admin password or want to reset your 

Range Extender back to the factory default settings, press 
and hold the reset button on the side of the extender using 
a paper clip and release after the Status light turns red.

 

Note:  This process will erase all your settings. 

2. Setup your Range Extender using your preferred method.

Did you know? 

From automatic firmware updates to seeing what devices are connected to your network, the 

D-Link Wi-Fi app

 makes 

setup and management of your Range Extender quick and simple.

How do I setup my Range Extender using WPS?

1. Plug your Range Extender into an available outlet near your 

wireless router and wait until the Status LED is blinking 
amber (this may take up to 3 minutes). You can move it to a 
more suitable location after it is set up.

2.  Press the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on your 

wireless router for 3 seconds. An LED should start blinking 
on your router. 

If it does not blink, see the important 

note above. 

3.  Once confirmed that the WPS light is blinking on your 

router, within one minute, press the WPS button on your Range Extender 
for 2-3 seconds. The Status LED should start to blink green.

4. When the Status LED turns solid green (may take up to 3 minutes), this 

indicates that your Range Extender is securely connected to your wireless 
router.

Your setup is complete! You can now unplug and move your Range Extender 
to a location between your Wireless Router and the area where you want 
wireless coverage. By default, your Range Extender will share the same 
Wi-Fi name and password as your Router. When using WPS setup, the default 
Admin Password is “password”.
If after moving your Range Extender, the signal strength indicator is showing 
one single amber bar or if your Range Extender LED does not turn solid green 
within 3 minutes, move your Range Extender to a wall outlet closer to your 
wireless router.

Tip: 

Before you start, make sure you know 

your current router’s Wi-Fi name and 
password as you will need this info for setup.

IMPORTANT

WPS may be disabled on some Routers or Modems. If the WPS Status LED on your Router or 

Modem does not start blinking when you have pressed the WPS button, try again and hold it 

a little longer. If it still does not blink, 

STOP

, and 

configure your Range Extender using 

the 

D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup

.
