Overview
What wireless device you need to extend the existing wireless network? You need a wireless range extender. What wireless device you need to extend the LAN network wirelessly? You need a wireless access point. And what wireless device you need to connect Ethernet enabled device to the wireless network? You need a wireless client. You need three different wireless devices for three different situations. Is there a single wireless device which can function as a wireless access point, wireless range extender, and as the wireless client? Yes, you need DLink DAP1360 – one of Dlink Range Extender devices.

The model of the device is simple; black box with two external antennas doesn’t look attractive design.
What this Product Does
DLink DAP1360 is an affordable range extender device, a single device with multiple mode functions: Access Point, Bridge with Access Point, Repeater, or Wireless Client.
With DAP-1360 you can easily:
- Extend or create a wireless network in home or office. Click here to build wireless network and setup wireless repeater with Dap-1360
- Install and Connect with Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ for easy secure connection
- Secure wireless encryption using WPA/WPA2 Security
The device also provides an excellent solution for upgrading your wireless network to Wireless N technology, which significantly outperforms previous-generation Wireless G.
Setting Up
The Dlink DAP1360 Wireless N range extender is designed to work with computers equipped with Windows®, Macintosh®, or Linux-based operating systems. To configure the device, you need a computer with an Ethernet interface and an Internet browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, Netscape Navigator 7.0 or above, or FireFox 1.5 or above. The following steps describe general guidelines in setting up your DAP.
Step 1: Connect the Power Adapter.
Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the back of this device first, and then plug it to your AC power outlet. Check to see that the Power LED on the front panel of the DAP is turned ON.
Step 2: Connect the Antenna and Ethernet Cable.
Connect both antennas to the antenna connectors on the back of your Dlink DAP1360. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the back panel of the DAP and the other end of this cable to your computer’s Ethernet port. If your computer is connected to an Ethernet network via an Ethernet switch, connect this end of the cable to the switch’s port.
Step 3: Begin Configuring your DAP.
Assume that configuration will be set to default setting including the AP mode and no wireless security. Type in your browser and enter the default IP address http://192.168.0.50 with default username is admin and leave the password blank. You can now follow the screen wizard necessarily.
Dlink DAP1360 as Range Extender
You can configure your DAP as the wireless range extender to extend the range of your existing wireless network. After you configure the device as the wireless extender, you can put the DAP in the area where signal range needs to extend. Generally you need better range signal in your garden or in your gazebo to allow you browse the internet with your laptop, iPad or any other Android mobile devices.
The figure below shows the connection diagram of DAP as the wireless range extender or repeater.
Dlink DAP1360 as the Wireless Access Point
The default setting of the DAP is configured as the wireless access point. With wireless access point, you can create a wireless network from the existing wired network. Connect the RJ-45 LAN port of the device to the modem-router or to the Switch as shown in the figure below.
DAP as the Wireless Client
This DAP DLink range extender can also be configured as the wireless clients to allow network devices with Ethernet enabled to connect wirelessly to the existing wireless network. Have a look at the diagram below, the Surfboard 6120 cable modem connects to the wireless router. Game console with the DAP will be configured as a wireless client to the router.
In the Wireless Client mode, the DAP acts as a wireless network adapter for your Ethernet-enabled device (such as a game console or a TV set-top box). Connect your Ethernet-enabled device to the AP using an Ethernet cable. The AP Client mode can support multiple wired clients.
To allow multiple Ethernet-enabled devices to your Dlink DAP1360, you can connect the LAN port of the DAP to an Ethernet switch, and then connect your devices to this switch. For example with your gaming console, instead of deploying the game console wireless adapter, you can connect the console using an Ethernet cable to the DAP. The unit is set to Wireless Client mode which will wirelessly connect to a wireless router on your network.

I have just purchased this device and have trouble connecting to the internet. I followed instructions to the letter, but Outlook comes up with an error message all the time. I even went back to reset the entire device and re-install but the same happened. I thought it was a straight set up, is there something else we should try to configure correctly on the PC
Thanks
Hi Kevin, what operation mode the device is configured? AP, bridge, or …? Your existing modem, is it a modem with firewall/router feature or just a modem? if your existing modem doesn’t include the router feature, you need a wireless router. See also my article router Vs access point
All sorted now, it was a configuration issue

Hi,
I’ve configured my 1360 as an extender and like those above, do not see any improvement in the reception (same 1 to 2 bar reception). I’ve tried moving the 1360 around a bit to see if it changes the bars on my laptop, bu it doesn’t. Quite simply, the 1360 has not changed anything in my laptop’s signal reception.
The question I would like to pose is this: How do I know my laptop is actually using the 1360? For all I know, I see no change in reception because it is still attaching to my router and not the 1360. Is there a way to give the 1360 a different name so that when we view the wireless APs in the vicinity, we see the router and the 1360 as separate labels?
Is there a way to test whether I am actually connected to the 1360?
Many thanks,
Ray
Hi Ray,
Did you change the default setting in the ‘LAN Setting’? If you didn’t, the default IP of 1360 is 192.168.0.50. Check your router dhcp range if they are in the same subnet 192.168.0 …
without the repeater, check your laptop IP address …use ipconfig in the command line.
or the easiest way is to configure your LAN setting to receive the DHCP. The default setting is manual IP (192.168.0.50)and see how it work.
Hi Haki,
Thanks for your reply. I’m pretty sure I configured everything properly.
1) I set my laptop’s LAN card to static IP 192.168.0.50
2) I told the 1360 how to access my router
3) I reset my LAN to DHCP
4) I enabled my wireless to see the magic, but only go the same old “singal strength: low”.
My router uses IP 192.168.2.1.
Are you suggesting that the 1360 is therefore not interacting with my router properly? How would I go about changing the IP of the 1360 or that of my router?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
Ray
Ray,
1. If you didn’t change the LAN setting in 1360, it means the the 1360 ip address is 192.168.0.50. While your laptop is set to the same ip address 192.168.0.50. If this is the case, there would be an ip address conflict …
2. as the repeater mode, i believe that you use the “site survey” button to scan your router SSID and use the network.
3. you mean you reset your LAN in 1360 or in your laptop. I mean you configure your 1360 LAN setting to use the DHCP, not the default up address which is 192.168.0.50…this way the 1360 will receive the ip address from your router dhcp.
as your router use the 192.168.2.0 network, your 1360 should use the same network. So that’s way it’s better you should configure the 1360 LAN Setting to use the dhcp ip.
Haki
need to reset the password on a dap 1360. Any ideas?
to reset the admin password you need to press the reset button in the back of the 1360. Pressing the Reset button restores the device to its original factory default settings.
i use a dap 1360 as a repeater, but i have a serious problem:
some of pc’s are between a repeater and a wifi dsl modem, and from time to time there is an arror message in windows that said there an ip conflict in a network. the reason is that the computers detect signal from the dsl modem and from the repeater too. the only solution that i find in some forums is to make different channel: dsl modem in ch 1 and the repeater in ch 6 but i realise that i can’t change the channel when the dap 1360 is in repeater mode!!!.
this prob is the same when using static dhcp. any issu??????
in Repeater mode, both router and dap1360 must have the same ssid name, channel, and security setting – so that’s why you cannot change the ssid – when you click the “site survey” in repeater mode – all the 1360 will detect the router conf.
Make sure in your dap LAN setting is enabled ‘DHCP’ to let the dap1360 in the same network.
check your router dhcp server in what range of ip addresses it is configured, and also check the dhcp server in dap1360, it is enabled and configured in the same ip range or not? if it is configured in the same range, change the range so not to overlap with the router’s dhcp range.

Hi,
I’ve been trying to configure my Cisco Linksys Wireless-N Home Router with this D-Link dap1360 I changed my Cisco router to lease out IP’s from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.50 so it would be on the same subnet as the D=Link. I set my dap1360 to Dynamic for the DHCP
(I had configured the wireless settings before and it found my WPA-personal wireless and it seemd to configure to success)
Once I saved my dynamic settings on the D-Link I can’t access the admin page because the IP would have changed.
On my PC I reset my IP settings to Dynamic and plug my ethernet cable back into my Cisco router. When I look at the DHCP tables through the Cisco router I can’t see the D-Link dap1360 repeater in the table.
The dap1360 has the wireless light blinking and the power light is on. When I unplug it and plug it back in there is a lock light that comes on for a bit but then it disappears.
Am I missing a setting? Or got any trouble shooting ideas? The only way to get back to the dap1360 would be to do a hard reset and get it back to a static 192.168.0.50 IP.
Hi Jeff,
Did you configure the Dap-1360 as the extender?
You should leave the default ip address setting of the D-Link to the static 192.168.0.50. And your Linksys DHCP range should be between 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.49 or exclude the 192.168.050 reserved for d-link.
When you configure the dap-1360 as the repeater, select the auto site survey to detect automatically your router settings.
Do not enable dhcp server on the dap-1360 (the LAN setting). If the LAN setting is set to dhcp, you cannot access the admin page because the ip address is dynamic.

Hi
I recently bought this product as my current router isn’t strong enough to cover whole apartment. Can’t get it to work though. When I run the installation it finds to router (Cisco) nicely, but it doesnt extend the signal at all. I tried to configure the Cisco to “Port forwarding” to 192.168.0.50 but still nothing. Turned off firewall too but no luck.
Please help.
@johan: The default network for linksys is 192.168.1.0/24 (ip is 192.168.1.1) while the default ip address for dap-1360 is 192.168.0.50 ….If you do not change the default setting for the dap1360, they are in different network / subnet.
change the default ip address for dap1360 with the ip address in the same network as in linksys (192.168.1.XX), make sure the ip is not allocated by other device say 192.168.1.250. make this ip excluded from your linksys dhcp zone.
And then configure the dap1360 for the wireless repeater …use automatic ‘site survey’ to receive the same channel and ssid from linksys ….see how it work.
Ki
Hi again.
It seems like my linksys is broadcasting from 192.168.0.255, but when I try to change the ip on dap1360 it wants a gateway too. It’s only the LAN-settings I’m suppose to worry about right? And from what I can see there is no LAN-gateway on my linksys.
The ip-network is 192.168.0.0, not 192.168.1.1 btw :/
I’m probably doing something wrong, sorry. Kind of amature when it comes to these things.
to make sure what the ip configuration of your linksys, turn off your dap1360, and then from one of your computer – check the ip address by running ‘ipconfig’ from command line (click start> run> type ‘cmd’ and press Enter in windows) and type ipconfig — the dump screen as shown below:
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.25
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
You can see the default gateway 192.168.1.1, this is your linksys ip address and the network address is 192.168.1.0/24. If you see that the network is 192.168.0.0/24) you don’t need to change your dap-1360 ip address because the default ip address is 192.168.0.50 – in the same subnet as your linksys.
Hey,
I just bought my DAP-1369.
On manual says, Turn the DAP-1360 on, then connect to the pc and typ on browser 192.168.0.50 on the Browser, the computer starts to look for the Ip but doenst find at all.
Basicaly, I can see the DAP-1360 Available on the List of Wi-Fi connection, i use windows 7, then i connect to the DAP-1360 via Wi-Fi list, but then when i type the Ip again to set up the DAP-1360 he keeps looking for the Router but doenst find. What should i do? Could my DAP-1360 have any fault or problem? What can i do?
Hi,
The default ip is 192.168.0.50, if you connect to the PC your PC ip should be in the same subnet as the dap: 192.168.0.xxx (other than 192.168.0.50)…check your pc ip address by running the “ipconfig” from the command line and see if the ip is in the same subnet, unless you need to change the ip address.

i Wont to connect belkin G series wireless router with dap-1360 repeater how can i do it i am not a computer genius
I have 2 dap-1360, one in office connected to router as an access point, the other is in remote office 100meters away set up as a repeater. Both the units have yagi high gain antennae.
The repeater is connected to the access point ok, I can ping the internet ok(same response times as when in office) and traceroute ok also, but when i open a web page they always time out? I can connect to internet from office ok but not from remote office?
any idea’s?
Thanks
@steve:
Being able to ping to the internet means that your configuration is Ok, but you cannot browse the internet (time-out). I just want to make sure that both dap-1360 have different ip address. Did you change the default ip address of both dap-1360? both devices must have different unique ip address. Since the default ip address is 192.168.0.50, if you don’t change one of them they will have ip conflict.
The other thing is the “network id” ( in this case the first 3 octed for example 192.168.1). Is the dap-1360 ip address in the same network id as the router? I bet it is knowing that your AP is operational. Unless you can try to change the default network of both dap-1360 in the same network as in the router but different ip host.
Ki,
Thanks for your input,both daps are on different IP’s and on the same subnet as the router.
From both daps I can ping dns names and IP’s on the internet with virtually the same response times. I can also tracert to both dns names and IP’s on the internet again with virtually the same response times.
I can also connect to my exchange server with http over rpc. I can also access the web config page of the dap from either end with no problem?
The only problem I have is connecting to web pages? They time out?
Steve,
It looks like routing problem. When you connect to your exchange server, it routes to the same subnet – no problem. But when you connect to internet pages, it is trying to find the correct route. But you said you can tracert to the internet, right? by ip or by names? if you can tracert by ip but cannot by names – this is a dns problem.
from your pc in remote office, run the ipconfig /all and see what the dns address is and compare with the PC in the first office.
my office network structure is like this:
ADSL internet –> Netgear DG834G Router –> Computer with Kerio Winroute Firewall –> network switch –> wall Ethernet ports –> all office computers.
i have a D-Link DAP-1360 Wireless N Range Extender and i want to connect it to a ethernet port in the office so it will receive internet and broadcast it as a wireless internet connection for extending the wireless coverage cause its far from the Main Router and i want each of them to cover part of the office..
what configurations should i set up?..would the Kerio Winroute Firewall Block the internet connection to the Extender?.. would other wireless devices receive internet through the Extender?..
simply, i want Router with internet –> office network –> wireless extender –> wireless devices..
so any possible way??…thanks.. .
If you put the dap-1360 in the location within the network coverage of the router, you can configure the dap1360 as the wireless repeater and it will bypass the Kerio firewall.
But if you connect to the Ethernet port of your switch, you need to configure the dap1360 as the wireless access point. You’re wondering if the Kerio will block the Internet traffic right? I have no experience with Kerio, but if it blocks the internet traffic, you need to play around with the Kerio to open the http (port 80) protocol.
If your computer behind the kerio via the switch can access the internet, it should be ok too for computers via dap-1360.
The setup:
Groundfloor: internet in -> D-link DSL-2740 Wireless ADSL Router -> one PC on Lan, one printer on Lan, 3-4 devices on one wireless-network, Lan-cable to 1st floor.
1st floor: ethernet-switch with one pc on LAN, one printer on Lan
1st D-link DAP-1360, working as access point -> 10-12 devices on wireless-network
Problem: cant’t create ONE ssid-wireless-network… now have two separate wireless newtworks that’s in conflict…
Is it possible to use Repeater mode with the use om Lan-cable from the DSL-router and have a wireless network that’s acta as ONE single network? (bad signal strenght from groundfloor to first florr – but there is a Lan-cable)
Now when there is a lot af mobile devices – moving between floors there is a lot of conflicts and resettings of devices.
This has been a problem for a long time… Please help!

@Foppa: to have the same ssid name you need to configure the dap-1360 as the wireless repeater. As a repeater, you don’t need to connect the device to the Ethernet port of the switch except at the time you configure it the first time. Locate the dap-1360 in area where you still receive the signal from the router but with least obstacles. If you connect it to the switch, it will work as the AP which must have different ssid name.
I have the exact same problem as @Cesar above. Just bougt the DAP-1360 today. Hooked up to laptop with ethernet cable and typed 192.168.0.50. And I only get error messages from the browser. Is my unit defected or is there another way to setup? Thanks for any help in advance..
@Emin:
You should check the IP address of your laptop. Make sure that the laptop is configured with the IP address in the same subnet as the dap1360, for example 192.168.0.20 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
if both dap-1360 and the laptop have different subnet, they cannot make any communication.
I just both a dap-1360 to act as a Repeater for my existing wireless linksys. Configured the ip as 192.168.1.2 with gateway 192.168.1.1 (linksys ip) and DHCP ranges starting from 192.168.1.151. SSISD was manually define during the setup wizard since linksys in non-broadcasting (both wireless have the same SSID). However after saving, it seems the dap-1360 is not broadcasting any signal at all because i am only getting 1 bar signal and dynamic ip of my laptop belongs to linksys. I then again connected the dap-1360 via cable to my laptop to see my setting, but strangely in my LAN properties i can see that i am connected in my SSID. I disabled the wireless adapter in my laptop but still i am connected in the internet via dap-1360 through LAN. Why is dap-1360 not broadcasting any signal? I can see it when i search for any wireless (linksys is off).
@Archie: what is the range of the dhcp server in your linksys? if it starts from 192.168.1.2, did you exclude the ip 192.168.1.2 (the dap-1360 ip) from the dhcp pool in linksys?
with your laptop and wired connectivity with the dap, it looks like the dap is configured in wireless client so it can connect to linksys ssid. can you review again…
@Jack: my linksys is configured from 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.150 while my dap-1360 is configured from 192.168.1.151 to 192.168.1.200.
That is why it is really strange that my dap is acting like a client when i have configured it as a repeater using the “Wireless Setup” tab and Launch Wireless Setup Wizard under “Setup” tab in the web-based configuration utility. Do you think my dap is faulty?
if you feel that all the steps are correct (I beleave so)and still not work, try other configuration, confiure it as the bridge with AP for example by connecting the dap to a computer and see how it works with other clients, can the clients connect to the dap or not. If all the configurations modes seem strange, return it the store.
Hi ,Planning to set up the DAP 1360 across my 100locations in india
Each location will be with one 1360 and dwa 525 desktop cards
Pls guide me how will i connect a printer between 2 wifi users
and is there any model where i have more network ports extra on the Access pts
@Shiva: What are you going to do with the dap1360, a wireless access point or repeater? what is your existing environment in each locations? A DSL modem-router or just a modem-only (no routing function? If you have modem-router, you can consider dap-1522 dual band AP.
if you have the modem-only and you require more ports with printer-server feature, consider D-Link dir-632. this router includes 8 ports with usb port for printer.
@Jack: It is working now. What i did is run the “Launch Wireless Setup Wizard” and select Client Mode and it works as a client. Then run again “Launch Wireless Setup Wizard” and selected “Repeater” and it just started working as a repeater. Thank you for your time in answering our queries.
I just purchased a dap-1360 wireless access point I done the installation setup and connect it to my dsl-322t modem and it start connecting internet with my laptop but when I want to connect it to other device or computer it will show an error message (there is an ip address conflict with another system on the so and so )
Any solution for please??
Hello Faisal,
I think you bought the wrong device, you should purchase the wireless router instead of the wireless access point. The dsl-322t is a modem-only device, meaning a modem without the routing function. If you connect the modem-only device to the wireless access point, you cannot share the internet. You can connect the modem-router (modem with NAT feature) to the dap-1360 and configure it as the wireless access point to share the internet connection.
Thanks Dear Jack for respond and your information i will try to change my device.
assl.wr.wb.saya mau bertanya tentang reset ulang d-link DAP-1360,setelah sy tekan tombol reset di belakang agak lama lampu indikator depan menandakan kunci dan LAN membaca ulang ip semula tapi kok tidak muncul ip 192.168.0.50 malahan dapat Lan tanda kuning segitiga dan ip terbaca 169.254.23.154 dan subnesk mask 255.255.0.0, apa kurang tekan tombol reset agak lam tuk mrbh semula,ato gimana,terima kasih
ip address ini 169.254.23.154 pertanda bahwa compi anda tidak dapat ip address dari dhcp server atau dhcp server tidak ada atau ada masalah dg koneksi ke dhcp server. anda bisa reboot pc anda atau lebih cepatnya pake command prompt c:>ipconfig /renew terus enter agar bisa memperbaharui lease ip address dr dhcp. apa ini yg dimaksud?
my dap 1360 works great for a period of time in repeater mode, then drops the wifi signal from my lynxis n router. if i reboot it it’s fine again for a few hours, then it drops the signal, and the wifi signal light stops blinking. ive called dlink, they had me download the latest firmware, reconfigure the dap, but the problem keeps recurring. anyone else have this problem?
Some wireless routers / APs / modems when they work for period of times / hours and get heated, they become deteriorition – signal drops or not having solid connections. I have the same problem with adsl modem router tp-link when it works for many hours, the conections drop and disconnected on the clients. It will get to work normally when I turn-off and on the router. Check your dap if it get heated when it works for hours, probably you require a small cooling fan, see if it fix the problem.
I am trying to set up the d-link DAP-1360 with an existing d-link router. I want this to act as an extender/repeater and be wireless from the existing router. I have logged in, ran the wizard and joined the existing wireless network no problem. But it’s not working. When I connect to the wireless network, I can only attach to the repeater box and cannot ping the gateway (other router) or get to the internet. I read some solutions above and tried to set it up as a client (connected with the ethernet cable) and it worked fine. Then I re-ran the wizard and set it up as a repeater which it again joined the wifi network but again doesn’t work. I have it set up to assign dhcp and used a range outside of the range on the other router. any suggestions?
@Jesse: Check your client’s gateway ip address, it should point to the router’s ip address.
Make sure the DAP1360 iP address is in the same network as the router. try to change the default gateway o fthe dap to router ip address. See what happen.
@ki….still no luck:( Joining my DAP to the wi-fi network as a repeater is super easy and straight forward. But from there it takes down the entire network. If I have it set with DHCP disabled then my computer gets no IP address. When I have it set to use DHCP my computer times out connecting to the wi-fi network. I’ve tried manually assigning an IP on the DAP to ensure it’s in the proper subnet & I’ve tried having it set at DHCP which I’m sort of unclear about because it is all under “LAN settings” & this is connected wirelessly and not over a cable. THe default gateway I use on the DAP is the other routers address when I manually set the IP. I’ve also tried resetting to factory defaults and starting over but still nothing works other than the wizard connection to the WLAN. Is it maybe the security settings on the DAP? or does it have to issue DHCP IP’s to any computer connecting thru it? oh and my client gets it’s IP via dhcp so the gateway should be provided by the dap or the router correct? Thank you
@Jesse …Yes joining using the wizard should be easy and straight forward. If your dlink router is using the default settings, the ip address should be 192.168.0.1 which should be your default gateway.
By default the dap1360 is set to static ip 192.168.0.50 subnet 255.255.255.0 and default g/w is your router ip.
the LAN setting is local network both LAN and wireless that should be the same network as your router network.
When you enable the dhcp on your dap, the clients (with dhcp client enabled) will receive the ip and the gateway from the dap.
Reboot your client computer or just run the windows command from c:> type ipconfig /renew (Enter) to renew the ip address from your dhcp.
The clients gateway should be automatically from the dhcp which they connect from. that’s way you should configure the dhcp range in each of the router and dap not to be overlapping.
Try what Archie did, launch the wizard, configure as the client see if it works, and then change the configuration as the repeater.
@ki. Ok so maybe I’m asking too many questions at once. I do understand routing, subnets, dhcp, releasing/renewing IP’s, etc. Here is what happens, I turn on my DAP, run the wizard, manually join the wi-fi network (with site finder) and all looks good. Except then my wireless network “goes Down” meaning I have a full strength signal and I get no IP address assigned, actually eventually I get a default 169.x.x.x of some sort which is not the range my router would be pushing. This is without me touching anything related to DHCP on the dap (default is disabled) nor changing it’s LAN IP (it is not physically connected to an ethernet cable, only when I configure it straight to my laptop). My d-link router has a different subnet (192.168.20.x so by default they are not shared). Since I’m getting a generic IP sent my laptop, does that mean I must enable DHCP on the dap or can’t it just send the DHCP on from the router?? thanks again for the answers
Ok so i have a interesting setup. i have a router downstairs where the wireless comes in. i have a linksys620WRT in my room which i want to get the internet to go into so that way i can lan all three of my computers in my room for file sharing and remote access. i have had many problem trying to do with using my computers to rebroadcast the connection. All i want to do is have the DAP1360 receive the signal from downstairs and the using Lan connect it to the internet port on my router so my router in my room is broadcasting the internet via lan to all three of my computers. the DAP works fine when connected to a computer via lan but when i connect to the internet port on the back of my router i have no luck. iv googled my brains out on this one but cant find anyone who doing something like this. if anyone has any advice on how to connect the DAP to a router for internet access via lan please help me (the dap is already receiving the internet via a wireless router downstairs). do i need to use a crossover cable or something like that so the two will communicate I’m pretty stuck here.
