Setting up a D-Link wireless access point with the dlinkap.local address is a simple operation.
- Begin by turning on the D-Link access point and attaching it to your computer via Ethernet wire. Make sure your machine is configured to obtain an IP address automatically.
- Open a web browser and type http://dlinkap.local in the address box then press Enter. This should take you to the D-Link set up page.
- If the page does not load try using the default IP address which is often 192.168.0.50.
- The setup page will prompt you to log in. The username and password are normally "admin" by default but check your device's documentation for specifics.
- Once you've logged in follow the on-screen steps to configure your access point. Set your wireless network's SSID (network name) security type and password.
- To maximise performance you can also specify additional options such as operating frequency (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) and channel width.
- After you've configured the settings save your modifications and restart the access point if required.
- Disconnect the Ethernet cable and connect to the new wireless network with the SSID and password you configured.
- Finally check the connection to ensure that the access point is operational. By following these instructions you can easily configure your D-Link access point increasing the range and stability of your wireless network.
