701.The computer used to configure the DI-764 cannot access the Configuration menu.Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-764 is ON. If theLED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernetconnection is securely inserted.Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Pleasesee item 3 (Check that the drivers for the networkadapters are installed properly) in this Troubleshootingsection to check that the drivers are loaded properly.Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnetas the DI-764. Please see Checking the IP Address inWindows XP in the Networking Basics section of thismanual.Note: The IP Address of the DI-764 is 192.168.0.1. All the computers on thenetwork must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on thenetwork. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0Do a Ping test to make sure that the DI-764 is responding.Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1.A successful ping will show four replies.TroubleshootingThis Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation andoperation of the DI-764 Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of thenetwork setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you arehaving problems.Note: If you havechanged the default IPAddress, make sure toping the correct IP Ad-dress assigned to theDI-764.Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection toconfigure the DI-764 Wireless Broadband Router.!!!!
712. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode.Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct AccessPoint. To check this connection: Right-click on the Local Area Connection iconin the taskbar> select View Available Wireless Networks. The Connect toWireless Network screen will appear. Please make sure you have selected thecorrect available network, as shown in the illustrations below.TroubleshootingCheck that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within thesame IP Address range as the access point and gateway. (Since theDI-764 has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, wireless adapters must havean IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device musthave a unique IP Address; no two devices may have the same IPAddress. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers onthe network.) To check the IP Address assigned to the wirelessadapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in thetaskbar > select the Support tab and the IP Address will be displayed.(Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basicssection 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 areentering a DNS Server address you must also enter the DefaultGateway Address. (Remember that if you have a DHCP-capablerouter, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. SeeNetworking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)default!!

74Troubleshooting4. 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 thewireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the WirelessBasics section of this manual for further information about the most advanta-geous placement of your D-Link wireless products.5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DI-764.Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or otherobjects.If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other homesecurity systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection willdegrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel onyour Router, Access Point and Wireless adapter to a different Channelto avoid interference.Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices thatgenerate 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 DI-764,you must also enable encryption on the wireless client.For 802.11a, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128 or 152 bit. Make surethat the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the WirelessClient.For 802.11b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make surethat the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the WirelessClient.Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are exactly thesame. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Please notethat there are two separate SSIDs for 802.11a and 802.11b. The default SSIDfor both 802.11a and 802.11b is default.!!!!!
757. Resetting the DI-764 to Factory Default SettingsAfter you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, youmay choose to Reset the DI-764 to the factory default settings.Remember that D-Link AirPro products network together, out of the box,at the factory default settings.To hard-reset the D-Link AirPro DI-764 to Factory Default Settings, pleasedo the following:Troubleshooting!!!!After the DI-764 reboots (this may take a few minutes)it will be reset to the factory Default settingsUse a paper clip to press the Reset buttonHold for about 10 seconds and then releaseLocate the Reset button on the back of the DI-764
