Compact, Convenient Design The DAP-1610 is a compact device that is ideal for use at home or a small office, as it does not take up much space and is ready to use by simply plugging it in. The bright Signal Indicator LED makes finding a suitable location a cinch. Its diminutive wall-plug design easily saves you the hassle of dealing with a power cord.
What is a Wireless Extender? The DAP-1610 acts as a repeater to extend the range of an existing wireless network to provide a better signal for parts of your home or office that may have poor or no reception. Your existing wireless signal will be re-broadcast by the DAP-1610, allowing you to reach the farthest corners of your home or office.
Front Status/WPS LED This LED indicates the current status of the DAP-1610, as detailed on the next page. The more lit green bars on the Signal Indicator LED, the better the wireless signal to the host network. A Signal Indicator single solid orange LED indcates a weak Wi-Fi signal.
Status/WPS LED Indicator LED Indicator Color Status Description Solid The DAP-1610 is receiving power and connected to a host network. Green Blinking WPS mode is active and is searching for another WPS device. Power/Status Solid The DAP-1610 is booting or an error has occurred.
Back You may locate the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password for your DAP-1610. This information is printed on the specification sticker on the back of the device. You will need this information to connect your computer or mobile device to the default network (SSID) of your DAP-1610.
Wireless Installation Considerations The DAP-1610 lets you extend your existing wireless network’s coverage as long as it is within range of the uplink network. Keep in mind that the DAP-1610’s extension network’s range may be limited by the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through.
Section 2 - Installation Hardware Setup Plug in the DAP-1610 to a power outlet. Verify that the power LED is blinking orange before continuing with configuration. OUTLET D-Link DAP-1610 User Manual...
• WPS PBC - To easily extend an existing wireless network refer to “WPS-PBC Configuration” on page 12 for setup instructions. • D-Link Wi-Fi App - Use your Android device, iPhone or iPad to configure your extender. Refer to “D-Link Wi-Fi App” on page 14 for setup instructions.
Section 3 - Configuration WPS-PBC Configuration Wireless Protected Setup (WPS) makes connecting your DAP-1610 easy. To use WPS, first make sure the source router or access point features a WPS Button or has a virtual WPS Button. Step 1 - Initiate WPS Mode While the Status/WPS LED is blinking orange, push the WPS button on the source wireless router or AP, and then push the WPS button on the DAP-1610.
The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP-1610 has connected successfully to a wireless network and is extending that network. If the Smart Signal LED has a single orange bar after the connection process has finished, the DAP-1610 has established a poor quality connection.
Section 2 - Installation D-Link Wi-Fi App The DAP-1610 can be set up from your iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet device using the D-Link Wi-Fi app. Note: The screenshots may be different depending on your mobile device’s OS version.
