Troubleshooting
1. How do I configure my DAP-1160AP without the CD, or check my Wireless Network Name
(SSID) and Wireless Encryption Key?
•Connect your PC to the Access Point (AP) using an Ethernet cable.
•Open a web browser and enter the address http://192.168.0.50
•The default username is ‘admin’. The default password is ‘’ (leave the field blank)
•If you have changed the password and can not remember it, you will need to reset the AP to
set the password back to ‘’ (leave the field blank).
2. How do I reset my AP to factory default settings?
•Ensure the Access Point is powered on.
•Press and hold the reset button on the rear of the device for 20 seconds.
Note: Resetting the AP to factory default will erase the current configuration settings. To reconfigure
your settings, log into the AP as outlined in question 1, then run the Setup Wizard.
3. How do I add a new wireless client or PC if I have forgotten my Wireless Network Name
(SSID) or Wireless Encryption Key?
•For every PC that needs to connect to the AP wirelessly, you will need to ensure you use the
correct Wireless Network Name (SSID) and encryption key.
•Use the web based user interface (as described in question 1 above) to choose your wireless
settings.
•Make sure you take a note of the settings so that you can enter them into each wirelessly
connected PC. D-Link has provided a handy sticker for you to note them down and attach to
your AP, or other location you find most convenient.
4. What can I do if my AP is not working correctly?
•The manual contains a full troubleshooting section and can be downloaded from the D-Link
website (see below), however there are a few quick steps you can take to try and resolve any
issues:
•Check the LED’s on the front of the AP. The Power, Wireless, and Status LED should be on.
One or more of the LAN LED should flash.
•Check that all the cables are firmly connected at both ends.
•Power the AP off for 20 seconds, and then power it back on.
Note: If you are unable to connect, see the Troubleshooting chapter of the product manual in
the D-Link DAP-1160 Wireless G Access Point.
