5. Эксплуатацыя пашыральніка

The DAP-1620 operates as a Wi-Fi range extender by default, but can also function as an Access Point.

5.1. Wi-Fi Extender Mode

In this mode, the DAP-1620 connects wirelessly to your existing router and rebroadcasts the signal, extending its range. Devices connect to the extended network (either with the same or a different SSID) and access the internet through the extender.

5.2. Рэжым кропкі доступу (AP)

To use the DAP-1620 as an Access Point, connect it to your router using an Ethernet cable via the LAN port. In this mode, the DAP-1620 creates a new Wi-Fi network, converting a wired connection into a wireless one. This is useful for areas with existing Ethernet wiring but no Wi-Fi coverage.

5.3. Аптымальнае размяшчэнне

For best performance, place the DAP-1620 in a location where it receives a strong signal from your main router (indicated by at least two or three Signal Strength LEDs) and is also close enough to the areas where you need extended Wi-Fi coverage.
