Working in a corporate office can be pictured as a tedious job to have a lot more often than not. It is a stereotype entangled in a few facts that disappear in the background. I’ve had bad days in my office too. We are supposed to meet targets and complete tasks in small amounts of time. Failing to do which results in payment cuts and a sound amount of yelling from the main guy. I had a legitimate problem with the internet connection in my office and it really pissed everyone off including me. The problem was that the range was quite awful. In spite of being available all around the office, the range was bad and therefore the signal strength was awful and hence the speeds decreased. This resulted in delayed work and therefore a bad impression on everyone at the office. One day I got really sick of it and gathered everyone in the office and asked them to join in and request for adding an internet extender. We convinced them to replace the scanty existing one for the internet connectivity monster, the D-Link extender. In order to find out how to setup the extender using dlinkap setup look below.

D-link Extender setup

We brought in the extender and set it up In the office. We practically didn’t have to do anything. We just needed to power it up, connect it to a personal computer, and access the setup link. It can be done both by typing in the IP address of the extender or from the http dlinkap local login We were really happy after this change of extenders. We got an instant change in connectivity and speeds. This D-Link extender was a monster in terms of speeds and range. We never had a bad connection after we brought it in. The next thing we knew, we had to constantly keep the firmware of the extender updated in order to keep it working in an optimal way.

Updating the extender

You don’t have to be much of a tech geek to figure this one out. All you need to do is keep logging in to the setup link to check for updates. Once you login to 192.168.0.50 to find the update ready you can trigger the push button for automatic firmware update and it will install it all by itself. We found out that the extender would remain non-functional during the update procedure and therefore we were not able to do it during office hours. I had to step forward to stay back after office hours and complete the updates whenever present. It was a nice feeling anyhow. We had brought in a good product and it had done its job in making our corporate office jobs a lot less tedious than they were with a bad connection. Upgrades in all ways. I never missed a deadline after the installation of the D-Link extender. Neither did any of it happen to any of my colleagues. It was the best decision we made in terms of connectivity.

D-link Extender troubleshooting

Well, once you are done with the installation there are always things that can go wrong, and sometimes they were wrong, to begin with. There is a good possibility that if you are new you may be stuck with a particularly minor issue called http //dlinkap.local not working and solving it is pretty easy, you just need to make sure that your extender is in setup mode and not just turned on. That will solve the issue. Also if you want to know how to reset the extender then don't worry we in the office had to do it once as we didn't properly update it once and that caused it to malfunction so anyway, to reset just press and hold the reset button at the back of the extender until the LEDs start flashing rapidly then just wait till it finishes resetting. After that install it again properly.

A small review

The device is quite impressive at its price range, it is inarguably the best performing wireless extenders available in the dual-band wireless extender arena. Strongly recommended for heavy internet users and also suggestable for industrial uses such as offices. A great device and worth every penny spent on it. We are also available with d-link ac1200 wifi range extender setup for the user.

You will need the username and the password details to access the login page and the main router SSID and password to sync your extender to the router as well.
