Section 2 - Installation Installation This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the DAP-1533 is very important. Do not place the DAP-1533 in an enclosed area such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
Section 2 - Installation Wireless Installation Considerations 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.
Section 2 - Installation AP/Bridge Mode Depending on how you want to use your DAP-1533 will determine which mode you use. This section will help you figure out which setting works with your setup. WIRELESS DIR-615 DAP-1533 AP Mode If you already have a wired or wireless router, and want to add an access point to connect your wireless clients to your network, you will need to move the switch on the back panel of the DAP-1533 to “AP2.4GHz” (for 2.4GHz) or “AP 5GHz” (for 5GHz).
Section 2 - Installation Create a Full MediaBand (5GHz wireless) Network If you have two DAP-1533 devices and want to create a wireless network with full MediaBand technology you will need to connect one Wireless Bridge to your router and move the switch on the back panel to “AP 5GHz”. The second Wireless Bridge will need to be placed next to your Ethernet-enabled devices and you will need to move the switch on the back panel to “Bridge”.
Section 2 - Installation One Touch AP Configuration One Touch AP Configuration works like WPS but can transfer the wireless settings from an existing access point or wireless router to the DAP-1533 in access point mode. This is best used if you are using the DAP-1533 to replace and existing access point or wireless router. If you want to connect your DAP-1533 to your wireless clients, or using Bridge mode, refer to WPS. 1. Select AP 2.4GHz or AP 5GHz Mode located on the back of the device.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics What is Wireless? Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office. D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30 feet away. Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Where is wireless used? Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.
Appendix A - Wireless Basics Security Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the access point. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up. Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking: • Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless bridge.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. (Windows® 7/Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.) At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
Appendix B - Networking Basics Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Step 1 Windows® 7 - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Network Connections. Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
