There are two easy ways to set up your Cover Wi-Fi
The system, choose one of the following:
Option 1) D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup
Option 2) Web Browser Setup
Option 1:
D-Link Wi-Fi App Setup (iOS and Android Devices)
Download the D-Link Wi-Fi app from the App Store or Google Play. Run the app and tap “Install New Device” (COVR-C1203) to get started.
Option 2: (Only required if you did not install using Option 1 – D-Link Wi- Fi App Setup)
NOTE : To keep your Cover System running at peak performance and take
advantage of new features, it is recommended that you keep your firmware up to
date.
We highly recommend that you enable the AUTO FIRMWARE UPDATE feature. This
will ensure that your Cover System is always running the latest firmware.

Cover Point Placement Tips
Place your Cover Points around your home to extend your whole-home Wi-Fi. For
best performance, place the Cover Points close enough to each other to
maintain a strong signal. Use the LED Signal Indicator to help find a
location. (See LED behavior on the previous page.)
