General Information
The DAP-1610 device is a wireless extender designed to increase the operational range of your
wireless network. The extender supports operation with wireless devices of the standards 802.11a,
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.11ac (at the wireless connection rate up to 1167Mbps
1
).
Simultaneous activity of 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band allows performing a wide range of tasks.
The device supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, different operation modes (repeater, client, access point),
WPS, WMM.
Smart adjustment of Wi-Fi clients is useful for networks based on several D-Link access points or
routers – when the smart adjustment function is configured on each of them, a client always
connects to the access point (router, extender) with the highest signal level.
The wireless extender is equipped with one Fast Ethernet LAN port, which can be used to connect a
wired client to the extender or to connect DAP-1610 to a wired router.
The LED clearly shows the signal level of the wireless network to which DAP-1610 is connected.
Due to this, you can easily find the best location for the extender.
You can configure the settings of the DAP-1610 device via the user-friendly web-based interface
(the interface is available in two languages – in Russian and in English).
The configuration wizard allows you to quickly switch the extender to the access point, repeater, or
client mode and configure all needed settings for the selected mode in several simple steps.
Now you can simply update the firmware: when the Internet access is provided, the extender itself
finds approved firmware on D-Link update server and notifies when ready to install it.
1 Up to 300Mbps for 2.4GHz and up to 867Mbps for 5GHz.
