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 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.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as
conventional Ethernet network devices. The DWL-G820 saves money by providing
multi-functionality, configurable in one of four different modes.
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 Access Point
 The DWL-G820 is also interoperable with other 802.11g and 802.11b
standards-compliant devices.
Standards-Based Technology
The DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards.
The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the
data rate up to 54Mbps (108Mbps in Super G mode) within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing
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 D-Link DWL-G820
will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest
speed and range possible.
802.11g offers WPA, the most advanced network security features available today.
Wireless Basics (continued)
Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DWL-G820 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:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G820 and other network
devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DWL-G820’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 generate RF noise.
Getting Started
With its default settings, the DWL-G820, when activated, will connect
with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM products, right out of the box.
There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an access point or router
Ad-Hoc – communicating with another console, for Head to Head or
Peer-to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters, such
as two or more DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapters, on
each gaming console.
This example illustrates an Ad-Hoc setup. Simply connect the DWL-G820 (refer to the
Quick Installation Guide) to your Ethernet-capable network device (in this case, a gaming
console) and you will be able to connect wirelessly with other gaming consoles also
connected to DWL-G820s.
Getting Started (continued)
Infrastructure Mode
This example illustrates an Infrastructure setup. To connect the DWL-G820 to a wireless
network with a wireless router or access point, please refer to the printed Quick Installation
Guide included with the product. Web configuration is required to connect the DWL-G820.
Some game consoles may require an additional Ethernet adapter.

Using the Configuration Menu
Requirements for using the DWL-G820’s Web
Configuration Utility
If you are incorporating the DWL-G820 into a network that contains all D-Link
devices, you do not need to use the Web Configuration utility. With its default
settings, the DWL-G820 will connect with other D-Link 802.11b or 802.11g devices
that are set to their default settings, with no configuration needed!
If your network contains devices other than D-Link devices, or if you wish to configure
the DWL-G820, you will need to do the following before using the Web Configuration
Utility:
You will need a Java-enabled Web browser such as the Internet Explorer
6.0 or later, or the Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later.
You will need to assign a static IP address to the computer that you are
using to configure the DWL-G820, within the IP address range of the
DWL-G820. The DWL-G820 has a default IP address of 192.168.0.35 with
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
You can, for example, assign a static IP address of 192.168.0.2 with a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0 to the computer you will use for configuration.

5. Why can’t I connect to another wireless client
in Ad-Hoc mode?
 The DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter has a default SSID of default. Make
sure that the SSID on the DWL-G820 is exactly the same as the SSID on the
other wireless client.
 The DWL-G820 has a default channel of 6. Make sure that the channel on the
DWL-G820 is exactly the same as the channel on the other wireless client.
6. Why can’t I connect to an access point or wireless
router?
 Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-G820 is exactly the same as the
SSID on the access point or wireless router.
 Move the DWL-G820 and access point or wireless router into the same
room and then test the wireless connection.

 Turn off your access point and the device connected to the DWL-G820.
Then, turn on the access point, and the device connected to the DWL-G820.
 Make sure that the DWL-G820 is set to Infrastructure mode.
7. What can I do if I forget my encryption key?
Reset the access point to its factory default settings and restore the
DWL-G820 to its factory default settings. You may do this by pressing
the Reset button on the back of the unit.You will lose the current
configuration settings.
27
Troubleshooting (continued)
8. Why can’t I connect the DWL-G820 to my network?
 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 D-Link products is default.
 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.
 Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly.
Select Infrastructure when connecting to a wireless router and select Ad-Hoc
mode when connecting without an access point.
 If security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption key or passphrase
is entered on both the DWL-G820 and the wireless router or Ad-Hoc client.
9. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose
reception?
D-Link 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 D-Link wireless products.
10. Why does my wireless connection drop?
 Antenna orientation – try different antenna orientations for the DWL-G820. 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 router, access
point and all other devices on the network 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.

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

1-Year Limited Warranty for the Product(s) is defined as follows:
•
•
•
Hardware (excluding power supplies and fans) One (1) Year
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,
