To set up the D-Link DAP-1610 AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender, you have three methods available: using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), the QRS Mobile App, or a web browser. Here are the step-by-step instructions for each method:

  1. Setting up the DAP-1610 using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS):
  • Make sure the source wireless router or access point (AP) features a WPS button.
  • Plug the DAP-1610 into a wall outlet and wait until the Status/WPS LED is blinking amber.
  • Push the WPS button on the source wireless router or AP, and then push the WPS button on the DAP-1610.
  • Wait for up to two minutes for the process to finish.
  • The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP-1610 has successfully connected to the source wireless router or AP.
  • If the Signal Indicator LED has a single amber bar after the connection process, consider relocating the DAP-1610 closer to the source wireless router or AP for a better connection.
  1. Setting up the DAP-1610 with the QRS Mobile App:
  • Download the "D-Link QRS Mobile" app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
  • Connect your smartphone to the DAP-1610 using the SSID and Password information provided on the Wi-Fi Configuration Card.
  • Follow the in-app prompts or refer to the product manual for further guidance.
  1. Setting up the DAP-1610 with a web browser:
  • Plug the DAP-1610 into a wall outlet within wireless range of your router or connect it to your existing wired network.
  • Open the wireless utility on your computer and select the name (SSID) of the DAP-1610 network.
  • Enter the password (found on your Wi-Fi Configuration Card).
  • Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome) and enter http://dlinkap.local./
  • The default username is "Admin," and the password field should be left blank.
  • Refer to the product manual for detailed instructions on configuring the DAP-1610 using a web browser.
