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

switch underneath is in the “on” position.

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.

D-LINK WI-FI MESH
You easily can pair your AC1900 Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender (DAP-1955)
with any D-Link Wi-Fi Mesh-enabled Router to create a seamless mesh
network that covers every corner of your home.
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 QIC or on the back 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 bottom 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.
