, creating a high-speed wireless link between networks for optimized performance and 

reliable coverage delivering high-quality HD video streaming, gaming and file transfers.

The DAP-1665 features the latest 802.11ac wireless technology, capable of delivering combined 
speeds of up to 1200 Mbps over two bands. Use the 2.4 GHz band’s 300 Mbps for web surfing, 
email and chat, while simultaneously using the lower-interference 5 GHz band’s 867 Mbps for 
network bridging, downloading, video streaming and file transfers. For wired connections, 
the Gigabit LAN port enables wired data speeds of up to 1000 Mbps, meaning that Gigabit-
compatible wired devices can also benefit from the high speeds of wireless AC.

The DAP-1665 can be configured to operate in several modes. Access Point mode allows the 
device to act as a central hub for wireless users, giving them access to an existing wired network. 
Bridge-mode creates a high-speed wireless link between two wired networks (LANs), alleviating 
the need to install additional network cabling. Repeater mode extends wireless coverage of an 
existing wireless network to cover “dead” spots and reach farther into a business environment. 
Bridge mode with AP adds the functionality of a wireless access point to a bridged network, so 
wireless clients can access resources on both networks. Wireless Client mode is available to enable 
the DAP-1665 to connect to another access point and provide network and Internet access to a 
remote wired device such as a gaming console or media center.
