3.1. LED 표시기

• 전원 LED: 전원 상태를 나타냅니다.
• 신호 강도 LED: Displays the strength of the signal received from the main router. More illuminated LEDs indicate a stronger signal.
• WPS LED: Indicates the status of the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) connection.

3.2. 포트 및 버튼

• LAN 포트: An Ethernet port for connecting wired devices or for setting up the extender in Access Point mode.
• 재설정 버튼: Used to restore the device to factory default settings. Press and hold for approximately 10 seconds while the device is powered on.
• WPS 버튼: Initiates a WPS connection with a compatible router for easy setup.

4. 설정

The D-Link DAP-1620 can be set up using two primary methods: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) or a web 브라우저.

4.1. WPS 설정 (권장)

1. Plug the DAP-1620 into a power outlet near your existing wireless router. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid green.
2. 무선 라우터의 WPS 버튼을 누릅니다.
3. Within two minutes, press the WPS button on the DAP-1620. The WPS LED on the extender will blink during the connection process.
4. Once connected, the WPS LED will turn solid green, and the Signal Strength LEDs will illuminate, indicating a successful connection.
5. Unplug the DAP-1620 and move it to a location halfway between your router and the Wi-Fi "dead zone." Ensure the Signal Strength LEDs show at least two bars for optimal performance.

Note: If your router does not have a WPS button, or if WPS setup fails, proceed with the Web 브라우저 설정.

4.2. Web 브라우저 설정

1. Plug the DAP-1620 into a power outlet.
2. Connect your computer or mobile device to the DAP-1620's default Wi-Fi network (e.g., "dlink-XXXX"). The network name and password can be found on the Wi-Fi Configuration Card.
3. 열기 web 브라우저를 열고 입력하세요 http://dlinkap.local or the IP address (refer to the QIG if dlinkap.local does not work).
4. 설정 마법사의 화면 안내에 따라 기존 Wi-Fi 네트워크를 선택하고 비밀번호를 입력하십시오.
5. Configure the extended network's name (SSID) and password. You can choose to use the same as your main network or create new ones.
6. Once setup is complete, unplug the DAP-1620 and move it to your desired location. Verify the Signal Strength LEDs for optimal placement.

5. 익스텐더 작동

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. 액세스 포인트(AP) 모드

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. 최적 배치

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. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, concrete walls, or other devices that may cause interference (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).

6. 유지관리

Regular maintenance helps ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your D-Link DAP-1620.

• 펌웨어 업데이트: Periodically check the D-Link support web펌웨어 업데이트 사이트입니다. 펌웨어를 업데이트하면 성능이 향상되고, 새로운 기능이 추가되며, 버그가 수정될 수 있습니다.
• 청소: 기기를 깨끗하고 먼지 없이 유지하십시오. 부드럽고 마른 천을 사용하십시오. 액체 세척제나 스프레이형 세척제는 사용하지 마십시오.
• 통풍: Ensure the device has adequate ventilation. Do not block the ventilation holes.
• 전원 주기: If you experience intermittent issues, try power cycling the device by unplugging it from the power outlet for 10 seconds and then plugging it back in.

7. 문제 해결

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your DAP-1620.

7.1. 설치 후 인터넷 접속 불가

• 신호 강도 확인: Ensure the DAP-1620 is receiving a strong signal from your main router. Relocate the extender if the Signal Strength LEDs indicate a weak connection (fewer than two bars).
• 라우터 비밀번호를 확인하세요: Confirm that you entered the correct Wi-Fi password for your main router during setup.
• 장치 재시작: Power cycle your main router, the DAP-1620, and your connected devices.

7.2. Frequent Disconnections or Slow Speeds

• 확장기 재배치: Move the DAP-1620 closer to your main router to improve the signal quality.
• 간섭 확인: Ensure the extender is not near other electronic devices that might cause interference.
• 펌웨어 업데이트 : Check for and install the latest firmware for the DAP-1620.
• Router Channel: Consider changing the Wi-Fi channel on your main router to avoid congestion.

7.3. 접근 불가 Web-Based Setup Utility

• 직접 연결: Ensure your device is connected to the DAP-1620's Wi-Fi network (e.g., "dlink-XXXX") or directly via an Ethernet cable.
• 정확한 주소: 올바른 주소를 사용하고 있는지 확인하세요: http://dlinkap.local or the IP address.
• 장치 재설정: If all else fails, perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the Reset button for 10 seconds. This will revert all settings to default, and you will need to set up the extender again.
