Introduction

The D-Link DAP-1720 AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender extends your Internet connection over a blazing-fast Gigabit Wireless AC
connection of up to 1750 Mbps (Up to 1300 Mbps via 5 GHz Wireless AC and up to 450 Mbps via 2.4 GHz Wireless N) , by using
1
advanced AC beamforming technology to maximize the speed and range of your wireless signal. The DAP-1720 connects with your
existing networking equipment to extend the range and enhance the capabilities of your home or office network. This means you
can bring Wi-Fi to places where your current signal doesn't reach, letting you move from room to room, office to office, floor to floor,
or yard to yard without losing signal. Enjoy Wi-Fi on your porch, balcony, next to your pool, breakroom, the far end of your office,
or in your basement. The DAP-1720 prepares your home to become a Connected Home by allowing you to install more wireless
surveillance cameras, baby monitors, sensors, and alarms in the places where you want rather just where your old signal reached.
Featuring a 3x3 MIMO antenna configuration, the DAP-1720 offers better data rates, fewer dead-spots, more coverage, and higher
reliability. Operating exclusively in the 5 GHz band, the DAP-1720's 802.11ac wireless connections avoid crowded 2.4 GHz band
traffic, giving you faster speeds while still maintaining backwards compatibility with older 802.11n/g/b devices. The DAP-1720's
superior design allows you to enjoy full motion, high definition video calls on your mobile device while moving around. Equipped
with a Gigabit LAN/Internet port to provide speeds up to 10x faster than standard 10/100 ports, the DAP-1720 creates the best
networking experience to date.
The DAP-1720 AC1750 Wi-Fi Range Extender features D-Link's Smart Signal LED technology, which makes finding the optimal
location for your extender a cinch. With other range extenders, it is difficult or impossible to gauge how strong or weak the
connection between an extender and an uplink network is, but the DAP-1720's Smart Signal LEDs eliminate the guesswork by
giving you instant visual feedback so you can quickly test out multiple locations to find the best place for the DAP-1720.
