Beginning with the D-Link DAP-1755 extender setup
The D-Link extender setup process begins with accessing the login page and then goes on till the network configuration steps online. Here are some steps you can follow to set up your D-Link DAP-1755 extender:
- Connect your D-Link extender to the broadband modem using an ethernet cable. Connect one end of it to the WLAN port on the modem and the other to the Ethernet port on the extender.
- Now, connect the power cables and plug in the power adapter to the power outlet. Power on your devices and wait for the main power LED to go solid. This is an indication that the extender is ready for setup.
- Open the network settings on your computer or smartphone and look for the extender network name in the “Available Networks” section. When you see the name, select it and click on the “Connect” button. You won’t need any password to connect to this network as it is a local server based address and needs connection with the main extender only.
- Once your computer/smartphone is connected to the extender network, you can open a web browser and access the login wizard.
- Open the browser and in the address bar, type in the default web address https://dlinkap.local or the IP address https://192.168.0.1 and press the Enter key. You will be redirected to the D-Link extender login wizard.
- You will see a screen with username and password fields. Type in the default credentials like the username and the password in the respective fields and click on the Login button. You will now be redirected to the D-Link DAP-1755 setup wizard.
Configuring the network settings
- On the basic home page that appears, click on the internet setup option.
- If you select the Manual Setup method, choose your router Wi-Fi network from the list and click on the ‘Select’ button.
- On the next screen that appears, enter the Wi-Fi Password and click on the ‘Next’ button.
- Once the range extender comes in sync with the main router, you’ll receive a notification on the screen.
- The next step involves specifying SSIDs and passwords for the dual-bands. Once you have done the same, click on the ‘Next’ button.
- Next, you will also need to specify the admin login credentials so not everyone can access the http://dlinkap.local wizard and modify your settings.
