Introduction
The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT provides the most expanded user bandwidth
available in an AP. Wireless clients can connect to this AP using any of its channels to
transfer data at speeds never achievable before in a wireless device. The 11g
WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT operates seamlessly and simultaneously in the
2.4GHz frequency spectrums supporting the 802.11b and the newer, faster 802.11g
wireless standards. For offices, schools or public hotspots that already use 802.11b
devices, the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is a great way to expand an existing
network and enable even more users to communicate with one another, access data and
the Internet. Now, you can have an AP that will compliment your existing network and
protect the investment you made when you provided the convenience of wireless
networking.
The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT offers transfer rates up to 54Mbps in the
2.4GHz band, large data packets travel from the router to a remote desktop or roaming
laptop PC at up to five times the speed of previous wireless devices. Everyone can work
faster and more efficiently or watch a streaming video smoothly. Network administrators
can partition the usage of the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT by segmenting the
users on the wireless network by frequency band. Users who require special networking
privileges —
access to sensitive information, specific departments or
videoconferencing — may use just the 802.11b and 802.11g channels. This type of user
segmentation optimizes the AP’s performance and delivers the best network experience
to each set of users.
The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is ideal for network administrators who
require additional management, firewall, and other network security features. All of the
AP’s settings are easily accessible in the operating system independent, Web-based
software user interface that also features a step-by-step Setup Wizard to get your router
up and running in just a matter of minutes. The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT
incorporates the WPA* (Wi-Fi Protected Access) which dynamically encrypts data as it’s
being sent.

Wireless Basics
11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is based on industry standards to provide easy-to
use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or
public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the 11g
WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT will allow you to securely access the data you want,
when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless
networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and
receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in
both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and
universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and
communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other
fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless
adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as
Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a
conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection
supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Access Point (AP) is a device used to
provide this link.
People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within
the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information
can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate.
Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation.
WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and easy
and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology
allows the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or office.
Inexpensive Solution – Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as
conventional Ethernet network devices.
Scalability – WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of specific
applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from
peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure
networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of
wireless devices deployed.
Wireless Basics (continued)
The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is compatible with the IEEE802.11g
wireless products: 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers
802.11g Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers
Standards-Based Technology
The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT utilizes the 802.11b and 802.11g standards.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
data rate up to 54 Mbps within the 2.4GHz band. 802.11g utilize OFDM technology.
This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will
be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your
network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed
digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller
sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the
receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
The 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT offers the most advanced network security
features available today, including: WPA.
In addition to its compatibility with 802.11g devices, the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS
POINT is compatible with 802.11b devices. This means that if you have an existing
802.11b network, or a network with a mixture of 802.11g and 802.11b, the devices in that
network will be compatible with the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT.
Wireless Basics (continued)
Installation Considerations
Desktop and laptop computers with wireless network adapters installed can access the
11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT from virtually anywhere within its operating range.
Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other
objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges
vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in
your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic
guidelines:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS
POINT and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your
wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the
number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5
meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree
angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel
straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs
may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with
wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not
other materials.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.
Getting Started
Right out of the box, with its default settings, the 11g WIRELESS LAN
ACCESS POINT will automatically connect with other wireless products
IP ADDRESS
Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup you will
not need to assign a static IP Address.
If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please
remember that the IP Address for each computer must be in the same IP
Address range as all the computers in the network, and the Subnet mask
must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 10.0.0.2 with a
Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP
Address of 10.0.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0, etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP
Address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.
An Infrastructure wireless network contains an Access Point or Router. The
Infrastructure Network example, shown here, contains the following network devices:

Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT. We cover various aspects of the
network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are
having problems.
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to
configure the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT.
1. The computer used to configure the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT
cannot access the Configuration menu.
Check that the Ethernet LED on the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is ON. If
the LED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely
inserted.
Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please see item 3 (Check that
the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly) in this
Troubleshooting section to check that the drivers are loaded properly.
Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the 11g WIRELESS
LAN ACCESS POINT. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the
Networking Basics section of this manual.
Note: The IP Address of the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is 10.0.0.1 All the
computers on the network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g.,
10.0.0.x. Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the
network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.0.0.0
Do a Ping test to make sure that the 11g WIRELESS LAN ACCESS POINT is
responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 10.0.0.1 A successful
ping will show four replies.
Note: If you have changed the
default IP Address, make sure to
ping the correct IP Address
assigned to the 11g WIRELESS
LAN ACCESS POINT

Troubleshooting (continued)
2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode.
Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access Point. To
check this connection: Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar>
select View Available Wireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen
will appear. Please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as shown
in the illustrations below.
Check that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP
Address range as the access point and gateway. (Since the 11g WIRELESS LAN
ACCESS POINT has an IP Address of 10.0.0.1, wireless adapters must have an IP
Address in the same range, e.g., 10.0.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP
Address; no two devices may have the same IP Address. The subnet mask must be
the same for all the computers on the network.) To check the IP Address assigned
to the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the
taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP Address will be displayed. (Please
refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of this
manual.)
If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless adapter, please refer
to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a DNS Server
address you must also enter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you
have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. See
Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)

4. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?
Wireless products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want.
However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless
range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of
this manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your
wireless products.
5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the 11g WIRELESS LAN
ACCESS POINT. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or
other objects.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security
systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically
or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your Access Point and Wireless
adapter to a different Channel to avoid interference.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF
noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.
6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
To establish a wireless connection, while enabling Encryption on the 11g WIRELESS
LAN ACCESS POINT, you must also enable encryption on the wireless client.
For 802.11b and 802.11g, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the Access Point and the Wireless Client.
Make sure that the SSID on the Access Point and the Wireless Client are exactly the
same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Please note that there
are SSIDs for 802.11b. The default SSID for 802.11b is default.

Warranty and Registration
(USA only)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this Limited
warranty for its product only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from:
•
•
D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor and
Products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of
Columbia, U.S. Possessions or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, addresses with an
APO or FPO.
Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link products described
below will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials from the date of original retail
purchase of the product, for the period set forth below applicable to the product type (“Warranty
Period”), except as otherwise stated herein.
3-Year Limited Warranty for the Product(s) is defined as follows:
•
•
•
Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans) Three (3) Years
Power Supplies and Fans One (1) Year
Spare parts and spare kits Ninety (90) days
D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period
at no charge to the original owner or to refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Such repair or replacement will
be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement Hardware need not be
new or have an identical make, model or part. D-Link may in its sole discretion replace the defective
Hardware (or any part thereof) with any reconditioned product that D-Link reasonably determines is
substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. Repaired or
replacement Hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period from the date
of original retail purchase. If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole
discretion that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the price paid by the original
purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective
Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is
refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.
Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”)
will substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth
in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of
ninety (90) days (“Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved
hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the
Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical
defects. D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media)
with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to
refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Except as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement
Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the
license granted by D-Link for the Software. Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original
Warranty Period from the date or original retail purchase. If a material non-conformance is incapable of
correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the nonconforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be
refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned
to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically
terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for hardware and software
of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any product
purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers,
or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case,
the product is being sold “As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the
Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
Submitting A Claim: The customer shall return the product to the original purchase point based on its
return policy. In case the return policy period has expired and the product is within warranty, the
customer shall submit a claim to D-Link as outlined below:
•
The customer must submit with the product as part of the claim a written description of the
Hardware defect or Software nonconformance in sufficient detail to allow D-Link to confirm
the same.
•
The original product owner must obtain a Return Material Authorization (“RMA”) number from
the Authorized D-Link Service Office and, if requested, provide written proof of purchase of
the product (such as a copy of the dated purchase invoice for the product) before the
warranty service is provided.
•
After an RMA number is issued, the defective product must be packaged securely in the
original or other suitable shipping package to ensure that it will not be damaged in transit, and
the RMA number must be prominently marked on the outside of the package. Do not include any
manuals or accessories in the shipping package. D-Link will only replace the defective portion
of the Product and will not ship back any accessories.
•
The customer is responsible for all in-bound shipping charges to D-Link. No Cash on Delivery
(“COD”) is allowed. Products sent COD will either be rejected by D-Link or become the
property of D-Link. Products shall be fully insured by the customer. D-Link will not be held
responsible for any packages that are lost in transit to D-Link. The repaired or replaced
packages will be shipped to the customer via UPS Ground or any common carrier selected by
D-Link, with shipping charges prepaid. Expedited shipping is available if shipping charges are
prepaid by the customer and upon request.
