dresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router you
will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.

2. I cannot connect to the access point or the wireless router.
3. The DWL-G650 Power and Link lights are not on.
4. I forgot my Encryption key.
Check to see if the DWL-G650 Cardbus adapter is firmly inserted
into the Cardbus slot of your laptop computer.
Make sure that the DWL-G650 Wireless Adapter is properly seated
in the computer’s Cardbus slot.
If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the
adapter, make sure to completely remove drivers that were
previously loaded. To remove the drivers, do the following:
Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-G650 Cardbus adapter is
exactly the same as the SSID on the Access Point or wireless
router.
Move the DWL-G650 and Access Point or Wireless router into
the same room and then test the wireless connection.
Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control, AES)
Make sure that the Radio is not locked down to a different
frequency
Turn off your Access Point and the computer with the DWL-
G650. Turn on the Access Point, and then turn on the computer
with the DWL-G650.

Troubleshooting
A. Under Tools> select Folder Options…> select View
> under Hidden files and folders > select Show
hidden files and folders
B. Uncheck Hide extension for known file types > click
on Apply
C. Search for previously loaded driver files. Remove these
files from the INF and SYSTEM32 (DRIVERS) folders
in the Windows directory. Note: Windows XP and
Windows 2000 will rename .inf files that have not
received WHQL certification into oem.inf files (e.g.,
oem1.inf.)
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are
indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the
broadband connection.
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning
properly. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are
firmly connected.
Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings
are correctly entered for the network
In Access Point mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier
(SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access
points. The SSID factory default setting for the D-Link Air, AirPlus
and AirPro products is default. (Double-click on the WLAN icon in
the taskbar. The Link Info screen will display the SSID setting.)
In Peer-to-Peer mode, both wireless clients will need to have the
same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one
client to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before
setting up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to
establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple
singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with
multiple clients associated to it.
6. The computer with the DWL-G650 installed is unable to connect to
the wireless network and/or the Internet.

7. How can I troubleshoot distance issues using the DWL-G650.
Move the DWL-G650 and Access Point or Wireless router into
the same room and then test the wireless connection.
Change the channel of the Access Point.
Move devices within the line of sight
Troubleshooting
Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
configured properly. Select AP (Infrastructure) when connecting
to an access point and select Peer-to-Peer mode when connecting
without an access point. Double-click on the WLAN icon in the
taskbar > click on Configuration to change the settings for the
wireless adapter.
If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys
are entered on both the DWL-G650 and the access point. Double-
click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar > click Encryption. Check to
see that the key selected is set to the same key as other devices on
the network.
