Section 2 - Wireless Installation
Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere
within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location
of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key
to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point and other network devices to a
minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your
devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle)
for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect
on range. Try to position access points, wireless access points, and computers so that the signal passes
through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation,
water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate
RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home
security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your
2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal
even if the phone in not in use.

Seven Configuration Operation Modes

How your AP will operate depends on which operation mode you select. This section will help you figure out which
setting works for different requirements.
Access Point Mode

In the Access Point mode, the DAP-1360 acts as a central connection point for any computer (client) that has a 802.11n
or backward-compatible 802.11b/g wireless network interface and is within range of the AP. Clients must use the same
SSID (wireless network name) and channel as the AP in order to connect. If wireless security is enabled on the AP,
the client will need to enter a password to connect to the AP. In the Access Point mode, multiple clients can connect
to the AP at the same time.
Wireless PCs Using the DAP-1360 as a Central Connection Point

Wireless Client Mode

In the Wireless Client mode, the DAP-1360 acts as a wireless network adapter for your Ethernet-enabled device (such
as a game console or a TV set-top box). Connect your Ethernet-enabled device to the AP using an Ethernet cable. The
AP Client mode can support multiple wired clients. If you are going to connect several Ethernet-enabled devices to your
DAP-1360, connect the LAN port of the DAP-1360 to an Ethernet switch, then connect your devices to this switch.
Ethernet-enabled Gaming Console Using the DAP-1360 as a Wireless Interface to Access the Internet

Repeater Mode
In the Repeater mode, the DAP-1360 increases the range of your wireless network by extending the wireless coverage
of another AP or wireless router. The APs and wireless router (if used) must be within range of each other. Make sure
that all clients, APs, and the wireless router all use the same SSID (wireless network name) and channel.
Extending the Wireless Coverage of a Wireless Router Using the DAP-1360

Bridge Mode
In the Bridge mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects seperate LANs that can’t easily be connected together with a
cable. For example, if there are two wired LANs separated by a small courtyard, it would be expensive to bury cables
to connect between the two sides together. A better solution is to use two DAP-1360 units to wirelessly connect the
two LANs. In the Bridge mode, both DAP-1360 units do not act as APs.
Note: The Bridge mode is not specified in the Wi-Fi or IEEE standards. This mode will only work using two DAP-1360
units. Communication with other APs (even other D-Link APs) is not guaranteed.

(Wireless PCs Cannot Access the DAP-1360 Units)
Bridge with AP Mode

The Bridge with AP mode is the same as the Bridge mode, but in this case, the DAP-1360 also acts as an AP. Clients
with wireless interfaces can wirelessly connect to the DAP-1360 and then connect to the other LAN that the DAP-1360
bridges to.
Note: The Bridge with AP mode is not specified in the Wi-Fi or IEEE standards. This mode will only work using two
DAP-1360 units. Communication with other APs (even other D-Link APs) is not guaranteed.
LAN 1 LAN 2

(Wireless PCs Can Access the DAP-1360 Units)
WISP Client Router Mode

In the WISP Client Router mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) AP.
In this mode, the DAP-1360 also acts as a router for wired clients on your LAN and provides NAT (Network Address
Translation) and a DHCP server to generate IP addresses for wired clients only. NAT and the DHCP server allow many
computers to share the same wireless Internet connection.
If you are a WISP subscriber and want to access your WISP account using wired computers, connect your computers
to the DAP-1360 to get NAT, and then connect them to the WISP AP.
Connecting Wired PCs to the Internet Using the DAP-1360

WISP Repeater Mode

In the WISP Repeater mode, the DAP-1360 wirelessly connects to a WISP (Wireless Internet Service Provider) AP. In
this mode, the DAP-1360 also acts as a router for both wireless and wired clients on your LAN. The WISP Repeater
mode provides NAT (Network Address Translation) and a DHCP server to generate IP addresses for both wireless
and wired clients. NAT and the DHCP server allow many computers to share the same wireless Internet connection.
If you are a WISP subscriber and want to use your WISP account in your house, but the signals from the outdoor WISP
AP are not strong enough to reach all of the areas in the house, use the DAP-1360 to can extend the signals from the
outdoor WISP AP and provide access to wireless clients in your house. Using this mode, wireless as well as wired
clients can connect to the outdoor WISP AP through the DAP-1360.

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The
DAP-1360 offers the following types of security:
• WPA-Personal (Pre-Shared Key) • WPA-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol)

• WPA2-Personal (Pre-Shared Key 2) • WPA2-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol 2)
• WPA2-Auto-Personal • WPA2-Auto-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol 2 Auto)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption
algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted
from one wireless device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When
using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit
encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal
- using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters)
format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to
HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.

Configure WEP
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless access point before your wireless network adapters. Please
establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption
due to the added overhead.
1. Log into the web-based configuration utility by

opening a web browser and entering the device
name of the access point (dlinkap). Click on
Wireless Setup on the left side.
2. Next to Security Mode, select Enable WEP Wireless

Security (Basic).
3. Next to Authentication, select Shared Key or

Open.
4. Next to WEP Encryption, select 64-bit or 128-bit

encryption.
5. Next to Key Type, select either Hex or ASCII.Hex

(recommended) - Letters A-F and numbers 0-9 are
valid. ASCII - All numbers and letters are valid.
6. Next to Key 1, enter a WEP key that you create.

Make sure you enter this key exactly on all your
wireless devices. You may enter up to 4 different
keys.
7. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the access point with a wireless adapter, you will lose
connectivity until you enable WEP on your adapter and enter the same WEP key as you did on the access point.
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy).
There are 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys
using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity-checking feature ensures that the keys haven’t
been tampered with.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, is done through the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific
MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-
key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric
password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must
be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA-EAP/WPA2-EAP incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP
is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the
network.
WPA2-Auto-PSK/WPA2-Auto-EAP accepts wireless clients that use WPA or WPA2. Authentication is sill necessary.

Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and

WPA2-Auto-PSK (Personal)
It is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless access point before your wireless
network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. Your
wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead.

4. Next to PSK / EAP, select Personal.
5. Next to Passphrase, enter a key (passphrase). The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63
characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. Make sure you enter this key
exactly the same on all other wireless clients. Enter the passphrase again next to Confirmed Passphrase.
7. Click Save Settings to save your settings. If you are configuring the access point with a wireless
adapter, you will lose connectivity until you enable WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, or WPA2-Auto-
Personal on your adapter and enter the same passphrase as you did on the access point.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-1360. Read
the following descriptions if you are having problems. The examples below use Windows® XP. If you have a different
operating system, the troubleshooting steps may be different from the following examples.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (for example, dlinkap), you are not connecting to a website
on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device
itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

• Firefox 1.5 or higher
• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using
a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may
not be on.
• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,
Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the
help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.

Section 6 - Troubleshooting
• Configure your Internet settings:
• Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab,
click the button to restore the settings to their defaults.
• Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings
button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.
• Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three
times.
• Close your web browser (if open) and open it.
• Access the web-based configuration utility. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link access
point in the address bar. This should open the login page for your the web-based configuration utility.
• If you still cannot access the web-based configuration utility, unplug the power to the access point for 10 seconds
and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the web-based configuration utility. If you have multiple
computers, try connecting using a different computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your access point. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings
back to the factory defaults.
To reset the access point, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the access point powered
on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the access point will go through
its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the access point. The default IP address is dlinkap. When logging
in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty.

Appendix B - Wireless Basics
Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on the latest industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed
wireless connectivity within your home, business, or public wireless networks. Strictly adhering to IEEE standards, the
D-Link wireless family of products allows you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You
will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals
instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such
as airports, coffee shops, and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work
and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have
proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop
and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in
order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device
used to provide this link.

What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi
uses radio waves to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or
office network.
Why D-Link Wireless?
D-Link is a worldwide leader and an award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your
network.
How does wireless work?
Wireless works similar to how a cordless phone works- using radio signals to transmit data from one point to another.
However, wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless
network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks: a Wireless
Local Area Network (WLAN) and a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
In a WLAN, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small
antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor AP, the
signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor AP the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like
manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other
outdoor venues.

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPANs. Bluetooth devices in WPANs operate in a
range up to 30 feet away.
The speed and wireless operation range of a WPAN is less than of a WLAN, but it excels in its efficient consumption
of power. WPANs are ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and
other devices that operate on batteries.
Who uses wireless?
Wireless technology has become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, at home and in the
office.
Home
• Gives everyone at home broadband access
• Surf the web, check email, get instant messages, etc.
• Gets rid of the cables around the house
• Simple and easy to use
Small Office and Home Office (SOHO)

• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at the office
• Remotely access your office network from home
• Share an Internet connection and printer with multiple computers
• No need to dedicate office space

Where is wireless used?
Wireless technology is quickly expanding beyond home and office use. The freedom of mobility it offers is becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities are now providing wireless access to attract people. Public places that
offer wireless access is usually called a “hotspot”.
Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote
locations like airports, hotels, coffee shops, libraries, restaurants, and convention centers.
A wireless network is relatively easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time it could be quite a task not
knowing where to start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of
setting up a wireless network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize your Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a central location within your network for the best performance. Try to
place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If
you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal and extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the
router/access point. This will significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause if operating on the
same frequency.

Security
Don’t let your next-door neighbors or unwanted intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless
network by turning on the WEP or WPA security feature on the access point. Refer to the section “Wireless Security”
in this manual for detailed information on how to set it up.
Wireless Modes
There are basically two modes of networking:
• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless
network adapters on each computer.
An Infrastructure network contains an AP or a wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the
wireless router or the AP.
An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in
Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Appendix C - Networking Basics
Networking Basics
Check your IP address
After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a
DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and

the default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter

installation, security settings, and the settings
on your router. Some firewall software programs
may block a DHCP request on newly installed
adapters.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a

hotspot in a hotel, coffee shop, airport, or another public place, please contact an employee or administrator to verify
their wireless network settings.

Appendix C - Networking Basics
Statically Assign an IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps
below:
Step 1
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN
IP address on your router.
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address

192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number
you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN
IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
