Section 1 - Product Overview
What is a Wireless Extender?
The DAP-1860 acts as a repeater to extend the range of an existing wireless network to provide a better signal for parts of your
home or oce that may have poor or no reception. Your existing wireless signal will be rebroadcast by the DAP-1860, allowing you
to reach the farthest corners of your home or oce. The extended network can simply use the same network credentials as the
existing network, or you can specify a dierent network name and password, giving you the exibility to control network access.
You may also use the DAP-1860 as a wireless access point by connecting an Ethernet cable.
