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. പവർ ഓൺ: Plug the DAP-1955-US extender into an electrical outlet.
2. റൂട്ടറിൽ WPS അമർത്തുക: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your existing Wi-Fi router.
3. എക്സ്റ്റെൻഡറിൽ WPS അമർത്തുക: Immediately after, press the WPS button on the side of your DAP-1955-US extender (refer to Figure 5).
4. കണക്ഷനായി കാത്തിരിക്കുക: 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. പ്ലെയ്‌സ്‌മെൻ്റ് ഒപ്റ്റിമൈസ് ചെയ്യുക: 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).

മെയിൻ്റനൻസ്

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

• ഫേംവെയർ അപ്‌ഡേറ്റുകൾ: 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.
• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid using liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• വെൻ്റിലേഷൻ: 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.
• പുനഃസജ്ജമാക്കൽ: 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.

ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ്

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.
  • നിങ്ങളുടെ റൂട്ടറും എക്സ്റ്റെൻഡറും പുനരാരംഭിക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക.
  • 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.
• കുറഞ്ഞ വേഗത അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഇടവിട്ടുള്ള കണക്ഷൻ:
  • 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.
  • മറ്റ് ഇലക്ട്രോണിക് ഉപകരണങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള (ഉദാ: മൈക്രോവേവ്, കോർഡ്‌ലെസ് ഫോണുകൾ) ഇടപെടലുകൾക്കായി പരിശോധിക്കുക.
  • നിങ്ങളുടെ റൂട്ടറിന്റെ ഫേംവെയർ കാലികമാണെന്ന് ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
  • 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.
  • ആപ്പ് അൺഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്ത് വീണ്ടും ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക.
  • If the app fails, consider using the web-based configuration utility by connecting a computer directly to the extender via Ethernet or its temporary Wi-Fi network and navigating to its default IP address (often found in the quick install guide or by scanning your network for connected devices).
• ആക്‌സസ് ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയില്ല Web-based Configuration Utility:
  • Ensure your computer is connected to the extender's network (either via Ethernet or its Wi-Fi).
  • ആക്‌സസ് ചെയ്യാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക dlinkap.local or the extender's default IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.50). If unsure, you may need to check your router's connected devices list to find the extender's assigned IP.
  • The default password for the utility is often "password" or left blank. Refer to the quick install guide for specific credentials.
