Troubleshooting
Why can’t I connect to my wireless router or my wireless connection drops?
1. Verify that your Range Extender is within range of your wireless router.Try plugging
it into a location closer to the router and verify the Status LED is solid green.
2. Note that when extending a wireless signal from a router or access point, devices
connected to the Range Extender will not get the same speed/throughput as when
connected directly to the router.
How do I change the wireless settings on my Range Extender?
1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari) and go to
http://dlinkap.local./
2. At the login screen, enter your Admin Password (If WPS Setup was used, password
is blank by default - just leave blank) and click Log in.
3. Go to Settings > Extender.
4. Enter a new Wi-Fi Network Name (SSID) and modify the security (Wi-Fi password)
settings as needed.
5. Click Save.
Note: If you have changed the Wi-Fi Network name or Wi-Fi Password, the device you are currently
using to connect to your Range Extender will drop. You will need to go to your Wi-Fi Settings and
connect to your Range Extender using the new network name and password.

Where should I place my Range Extender for best performance?
A Range Extender only works as well as the signal it is extending.
Therefore, proper placement of your Range Extender is important
in achieving desired results.
For best performance, place your Range Extender in between
your router and your dead zone, making sure it is placed in a
location where theWi-Fi signal is still strong. Use the Smart Signal
Indicator to help nd a location with a strong signal. The more
bars lit on the signal indicator, the stronger the Wi-Fi signal is.

What is Mesh Smart Roaming?
With Mesh Smart Roaming, your Wi-Fi device (e.g. SmartPhone, Tablet) will
automatically roam to the strongest Wi-Fi signal, eliminating the need to switch
between your Router’s and Range Extender’s Wi-Fi signal as you move around your
home.
Mesh Smart Roaming Requirements:
1. The Wi-Fi device (e.g. SmartPhone, Tablet) must support the 802.11k/v standard.
2. The Wireless Name (SSID) & Wireless Password must be the same on both
the Mesh Wi-Fi Range Extender and your Wireless Router.
Why don’t I see a dierent network name (SSID) for each wireless band?
By default, SmartConnect is enabled on this Range Extender. SmartConnect will
automatically steer your device to the optimal wireless band (2.4GHz or 5GHz)
according to current network trac. When enabled, you will only see one wireless
network name (SSID) from your Range Extender.
