To set up the D-Link DAP-1610 AC1200 Wi-Fi Range Extender, you have three methods available: using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), the QRS Mobile App, or a web browser. Here are the step-by-step instructions for each method:

1. Setting up the DAP-1610 using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS):
- Make sure the source wireless router or access point (AP) features a WPS button.
- Plug the DAP-1610 into a wall outlet and wait until the Status/WPS LED is blinking amber.
- Push the WPS button on the source wireless router or AP, and then push the WPS button on the DAP-1610.
- Wait for up to two minutes for the process to finish.
- The Status/WPS LED will turn solid green when the DAP-1610 has successfully connected to the source wireless router or AP.
- If the Signal Indicator LED has a single amber bar after the connection process, consider relocating the DAP-1610 closer to the source wireless router or AP for a better connection.

2. Setting up the DAP-1610 with the QRS Mobile App:
- Download the "D-Link QRS Mobile" app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

3. Setting up the DAP-1610 with a web browser:
- Plug the DAP-1610 into a wall outlet within wireless range of your router or connect it to your existing wired network.
- Open the wireless utility on your computer and select the name (SSID) of the DAP-1610 network.
- Enter the password (found on your Wi-Fi Configuration Card).
- Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome) and enter http://dlinkap.local./
- The default username is "Admin," and the password field should be left blank.
