User Manual
CHAPTER 2.
General Information
The DAP-1360U device is a wireless access point supporting the router mode. It is an affordable
solution for creating wireless networks at home or in an office.
You are able to connect the wireless access point DAP-1360U switched to the router mode to a
cable or DSL modem or to a private Ethernet line and use a high-speed Internet connection to
successfully fulfill a wide range of professional tasks.
Using DAP-1360U, you are able to quickly create a wireless network and let your relatives or
employees connect to it virtually anywhere (within the operational range of your wireless network).
The access point can operate as a base station for connecting wireless devices of the standards
802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n (at the rate up to 300Mbps).
The device supports multiple functions for the wireless interface: several security standards (WEP,
WPA/WPA2), MAC address filtering, different operation modes (access point, router, client), WPS,
WDS, WMM.
In addition, the device is equipped with a button for switching the Wi-Fi network off/on. If needed,
for example, when you leave home, you can easily switch the access point's WLAN by pressing the
button, and devices connected to the LAN ports of the access point will stay online.
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) with the highest signal level.
Support of guest Wi-Fi network in the router mode allows you to create a separate wireless network
with individual security settings and maximum rate limitation. Devices connected to the guest
network will be able to access the Internet, but will be isolated from the devices and resources of
the access point's LAN.
In the router mode, the DAP-1360U device includes a built-in firewall. The advanced security
functions minimize threats of hacker attacks, prevent unwanted intrusions to your network, and
block access to unwanted websites for users of your LAN.
You can configure the settings of the DAP-1360U 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 connect DAP-1360U to a wired or wireless ISP (when
switched to the router mode) in several simple steps or quickly set needed parameters for operation
as an access point, repeater, or client (when switched to the access point mode).
Also DAP-1360U supports configuration and management via mobile application for Android and
iPhone smartphones.
Now you can simply update the firmware: the access point itself finds approved firmware on D-
Link update server and notifies when ready to install it.
