You are also in the same search, right? Yes? Gotcha! You have visited the right post. Here, you will get to know the steps to configure your D Link WiFi extender using the app.
Let’s start over!
D Link Extender Setup Using D Link App
- In order to configure your D Link WiFi range extender using the app, you first need to download it. Once you are done, log in to it. For this, you have to create an account on the app.
- Then, provide your extender’s model number.
- Follow the provided D link WiFi extender setup instructions.
Note: We can’t provide you with the complete instructions. Look, we are writing online articles for the comfort of the users. And, what if they got confused? We don’t want to misguide them by providing the incomplete instructions as procedure may vary from model to model. We did these mistakes many times. But, when we started receiving negative comments like:
- I can’t see the sign-in option!
- There is no option to create an account or to reset the password.
- I haven’t received any confirmation mail.
- Where to provide the extender username?
- I haven’t taken to the setup page of D Link extender!
- There is no Log In button, and so on.
That’s why we suggest them to go with the instructions as per the model they have.
If you don’t want to use the D Link app to set up your WiFi range extender, then you can access the dlinkap.local setup wizard and follow the on-screen instructions. But before that, you have to make sure of the following points:
- Make sure that your D Link extender is properly plugged in and connected to your existing router using an Ethernet cable.
- The device software (PC, laptop, or wireless computer) you are using to access dlinkap.local setup wizard must not be outdated.
- For accessing the setup wizard of your D Link extender, you have to use the URL bar of the internet browser for entering dlinkap.local web address. Make sure the browser version you are using isn’t outdated. Otherwise, the web address will not work for you.
- Apart from this, ensure that you aren’t using the browser search bar for entering the web address and you aren’t making any typing errors in dlinkap.local.
Just in case, you find the manual method for performing the D Link WiFi extender setup a bit tricky, then you can use the WPS process for the same. But, for configuring the D Link WiFi extender using the WPS method, your existing router must be WPS-capable too. If both the devices consist of the WPS feature, then follow the instructions provided below:
D Link Extender Setup Via WPS
- Your extender and router must receive a continuous power supply.
- Apart from this, you have to ensure that your devices are connected to each other wirelessly.
- Once you are sure about the above-mentioned points, press the WPS button on your D Link WiFi extender.
- After some time, press the WPS button on your existing router.
- The WPS LED on your D Link WiFi range extender will start blinking. This indicates that your WiFi extender has been configured successfully using the WPS method.
Note: No matter whether you are performing DLink WiFi extender setup process using the D Link app, manual method, or the WPS method. If you want to get the most out of your D Link extender, you have to update its firmware.
After configuring the device, you will get a notification to perform the D Link firmware update process. As soon as you receive the notification, click on it and your extender’s firmware will be updated in no time.
