Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and
compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access
wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want,
when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking
brings.
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits
and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs 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.
People use WLAN 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.
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.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as
conventional Ethernet network devices.
Wireless Basics (continued)
The DWL-650 is compatible with 802.11b wireless products, which include:
! D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+
2.4GHz Wireless PC Card Adapter used with laptop computers
! D-Link Air DWL-520, D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+
2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers
! D-Link AirPlus DWL-900AP+
Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Access Point
! D-Link AirPlus DI-614+, DI-714P+
Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Routers
Standards-Based Technology
Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-650 is also interoperable with existing
compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 11Mbps.
Installation Considerations
The D-Link Air DWL-650 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection,
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:
1 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-650 and
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your D-Link Air Wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)
Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
Getting Started
With its default settings, the DWL-650, when activated, will connect
with other D-Link Air products, right out of the box.
There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an Access Point or Router, such as
the DI-614+
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for peer-topeer communication, using wireless network adapters on
each computer, such as two or more DWL-650 wireless
network adapters.
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network
and an Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or Router. The Infrastructure
Network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link network
devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):
A wireless Router - D-Link AirPlus DI-614+
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter D-Link Air DWL-650
A desktop computer with a wireless adapter D-Link Air DWL-520
A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200
Getting Started (continued)
Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network
Please remember that D-Link Air wireless devices are pre-configured to connect
together, right out of the box, with their default settings.
For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the
following:
You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into
your home or office)
Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem
Connect the Cable or DSL modem to your broadband router (see the Quick
Installation Guide included with your router.)
Install the D-Link Air DWL-520 wireless PCI adapter into an available PCI slot
on your desktop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-520.)
Install the D-Link Air DWL-650 wireless PC Card adapter into a laptop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-650.)
If you wish, you may connect a computer that is equipped with an Ethernet
network adapter (such as a DFE-530TX+) to the router also.
Getting Started (continued)
Setting up a Wireless Ad Hoc Network
Desktop
Install the Wireless PCI adapter(e.g., DWL-520) into the desktop computer.
(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product for installation
instructions.)
Install the DWL-650 wireless PC Card adapter into a laptop computer. (See
the Quick Installation Guide included with the product.)
Set the wireless configuration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode, set the
adapters to the same channel, and assign an IP Address to each computer
on the Ad-Hoc network. (See Box below)
IP Address
When assigning 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 192.168.0.2 with a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP
Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, 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.

2. I cannot connect to the access point or the wireless router.
Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-650 PC Card adapter is exactly
the same as the SSID on the Access Point or wireless router.
Move the DWL-650 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
Refresh the DWL-650 Utility
Turn off your Access Point and the computer with the DWL-650. Turn on
the Access Point, and then turn on the computer with the DWL-650.
3. The DWL-650 Power and Link lights are not on.
Check to see if the DWL-650 PC Card adapter is firmly inserted into the
PC Card slot of your laptop.
4. I forgot my Encryption key.
Reset the Access Point to its factory default settings and restore the DWL650 Wireless PC Card Adapter to the factory default settings. (The default
settings are listed in the Using the Configuration Utility section in this
manual.)
5. The computer does not recognize the DWL-650 PC Card Adapter.
Make sure that the DWL-650 Wireless PC Card Adapter is properly seated
in the laptop’s PC Card 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:
33
Troubleshooting (continued)
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 the files DWL650.INF and DWL650.SYS. 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.)
6. The computer with the DWL-650 installed is unable to connect to
the wireless network and/or the Internet.
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 Infrastructure 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-LinkAir and AirPlus products is default.
(Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar. The Link Info screen will
display the SSID setting.)
In Ad-Hoc 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.

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

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

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.

purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers,
