Section 1 - Product Overview
• Superior Wireless Networking
- The DAP-1860 AC2600 Wi-Fi Range Extender lets you easily extend a secure
wireless network with a press of a button. Connect the DAP-1860 to a router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and share
your high-speed Internet access in more places throughout your home or small office. The DAP-1860 provides
Gigabit wireless speeds of up to a combined 2532 Mbps (1732 Mbps 802.11ac 5 GHz, plus 600 Mbps 802.11n 2.4
GHz)

. This capability rivals wired connections, allowing users to participate in real-time activities online, such as HD
video communication, online gaming, and use mobile devices from anywhere in your home while still offering full
802.11n/g/b backward compatibility.
• Simple Setup
- All it takes is a press of a button to connect compatible WPS devices to the DAP-1860. Its easy-to-
use web interface lets you quickly and easily connect the DAP-1860 to an uplink router, configure the extended
wireless network, and manage administrative settings. The setup wizard will even guide you through the setup
process, getting your extended wireless network up and running in no time. Alternatively, connect an Ethernet
cable to your existing network infrastructure to quickly and easily create a wireless network.
• Smart Connect
- Creates a ‘single’ wireless network for your devices to connect to. Behind the scenes, the
DAP-1860 automatically determines whether to connect a device to the 2.4 or 5 GHz band, thereby providing
the best speed and range for each device and optimally distributing devices between networks.
• Latest Wireless Network Security and Encryption Standard
- The DAP-1860 is fully compatible with the latest
802.11ac standard, but is also backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11n/g/b/a wireless devices, so you can use
your existing devices without sacrificing performance.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, 802.11n, and 802.11ac specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network
conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.
Environmental conditions will adversely affect wireless signal range.
