설치 지침

There are two primary methods for setting up your D-Link DAP-1955-US extender: using the D-Link Wi-Fi app or via the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button.

Method 1: D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup (Recommended)

1. 앱 다운로드: Download the free D-Link Wi-Fi app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on your smartphone or tablet.

A diagram shows "Strong" and "Weak" signal interpretations based on the number of lit LEDs.

Method 2: WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Setup

WPS offers a quick way to connect your extender to a WPS-compatible router.

1. 전원 켜기: Plug the DAP-1955-US extender into an electrical outlet.
2. 라우터에서 WPS를 누르세요: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your existing Wi-Fi router.
3. 익스텐더에서 WPS를 누르세요: Immediately after, press the WPS button on the side of your DAP-1955-US extender (refer to Figure 5).
4. 연결을 기다리세요: The extender's LEDs will flash during the connection process. Once connected, the signal indicator LEDs will light up green, indicating a successful connection and signal strength.
5. 배치 최적화: Relocate the extender to an area between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone. Use the Smart Signal Indicator LEDs to ensure optimal signal strength (refer to Figure 5).

유지

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your D-Link DAP-1955-US extender, consider the following maintenance tips:

• 펌웨어 업데이트: Regularly check for and install firmware updates through the D-Link Wi-Fi app or the web-based configuration utility. Updates often include performance improvements, security patches, and new features.
• 청소: 기기를 깨끗하게 유지하고 먼지가 쌓이지 않도록 하십시오. 부드럽고 마른 천으로 외부를 닦으십시오. 액체 세척제나 스프레이형 세척제 사용은 피하십시오.
• 통풍: Ensure the extender is plugged into an outlet with adequate ventilation. Do not cover the device or place it in enclosed spaces that could restrict airflow, as this can lead to overheating.
• 재설정: In case of persistent issues, a factory reset can often resolve problems. To perform a factory reset, use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button (located on the bottom, next to the LAN port) for approximately 10 seconds while the device is powered on. The device will reboot with default settings.

문제 해결

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your D-Link DAP-1955-US extender.

• Extender Not Connecting / Blinking Red Light:
  • Ensure the extender is within range of your main Wi-Fi router. Move it closer if the signal indicator LEDs are red or orange.
  • Verify that your router's Wi-Fi is active and broadcasting.
  • 라우터와 익스텐더를 모두 다시 시작해 보세요.
  • If using WPS, ensure you press the WPS button on both the router and extender within the specified timeframe (usually 2 minutes).
  • Consider using the D-Link Wi-Fi app for setup, as it provides more guided steps and feedback.
• 속도가 느리거나 연결이 불안정한 경우:
  • Relocate the extender to a more central location between your router and the devices needing extended coverage. Aim for a location where the signal indicator shows at least two or three green bars.
  • 다른 전자 장치(예: 전자레인지, 무선 전화기)의 간섭이 있는지 확인하세요.
  • 라우터의 펌웨어가 최신인지 확인하세요.
  • If connecting wired devices, ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into the Gigabit Ethernet port.
• D-Link Wi-Fi App Issues:
  • Ensure your smartphone's cellular data is temporarily disabled during the initial setup process to prevent conflicts.
  • Grant the app necessary local network permissions on your device.
  • 앱을 삭제했다가 다시 설치해 보세요.
