Section 1 - Product Overview
Introduction
D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the new D-Link Wireless N Access Point(DAP-1360). With the
ability to transfer les with a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 300Mbps1, the DAP-1360 gives you high-speed
wireless network access for your home or ofce.
The DAP-1360 is Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11n compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate with other 802.11n
compatible wireless client devices. The DAP-1360 is also backwards compatible with 802.11b/g. It can be exibly
congured to operate in 7 different modes Access Point, Wireless Client, Bridge, Bridge with AP, Repeater, WISP
Client Router or WISP Repeater.With its Setup Wizard, the DAP-1360 Access Point ensures that you will be up and
running on a wireless network in just a matter of minutes.
The DAP-1360 Access Point features Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) and 64/128-bit WEP Encryption
to provide an enhanced level of security for wireless data communications. The DAP-1360 also includes additional
security features to keep your wireless connection safe from unauthorized access.
The DAP-1360 supports WPS on three operation modes,with each capable of being conveniently setup by using PIN
method or Push Button.
1 Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11n specications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental
factors, including volume of network trafc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data throughput rate.

against outside intruders.
• Supports WPS(WiFi Protected Setup) in seven operation modes.
• Connect home and soho to a wireless network – Create a wireless network for your home and ofce using the
D-Link DAP-1360 as a 802.11n standard Wireless Access Point. Connect this Access Point to a broadband modem
and let others wirelessly access your Internet connection. Enjoy surng the web, checking e-mail, and chatting with
family and friends online.
• Protect wireless network and data – The DAP-1360 provides 64/128-bit WEP encryption and WPA/WPA2 security
to protect your network and wireless data. In addition, it also provides MAC address ltering and the Disable SSID
Broadcast function to limit outsiders’ access to your home and ofce network.
• Flexibly congure your AP for different applications – The DAP-1360 can be congured to operate as (1) an
Access Point to act as a central hub for wireless users, (2) an Wireless Client to connect to another Access Point, (3)
a Repeater to extend the wireless coverage to cover all "dead" spots".
• Easy to install and use – With D-Link's Setup Wizard, you can set up your wireless network in minutes. It congures
your DAP-1360's operation mode, makes it easy to add new wireless devices onto the network, and helps you create
a simple wireless network for your home and ofce.

9D-Link DAP-1360 User Manual
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 (sh tanks), mirrors, le 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.
Wireless Installation Considerations
10D-Link DAP-1360 User Manual
How you use your DAP-1360 will determine which mode you choose on the DAP-1360. This section will help you gure
out which setting works with your setup.
AP/Repeater/Wireless Client Mode
Access Point Mode
In 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 adapter 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. Multiple clients can connect to the AP at the same time
in Access Point mode.
Wireless PCs Using the DAP-1360 as a Central Connection Point
11D-Link DAP-1360 User Manual
Wireless Client Mode
In 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. AP
Client mode can support multiple wired clients.

Appendix A - Wireless Modes
Repeater Mode
Repeater mode 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.

WISP Client Router and WISP Repeater
In WISP Router Client 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. NAT and the DHCP server allow many computers to share the same wireless Internet connection.
WISP Repeater wireless mode acts the same as WISP Client Router wireless mode, with the addition of a wireless signal for any wireless
clients on the LAN.
