Simple Setup All it takes is a press of a button to connect compatible WPS devices to the DAP-1620. Its easy-to-use web interface lets you quickly and easily connect the DAP-1620 to an uplink router, configure the extended wireless network, and manage the administrative settings.
What is a Wireless Extender? The DAP-1620 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-1620, allowing you to reach the farthest corners of your home or office.
Hardware Overview Front Status/WPS LED This LED indicates the current status of the DAP-1620, as detailed on the next page. Press to establish a connection with another WPS compatible device. See page “WPS Button” on page 42 WPS Button for more information.

Wireless Installation Considerations The DAP-1620 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-1620’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.
