1.The computer used to configure the DI-714P+ cannot access
the Configuration menu.
Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-714P+ 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 DI-714P+. Please see Checking the IP Address in
Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this
manual.
Note: The IP Address of the DI-714P+ is 192.168.0.1. All the computers on the
network 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 the
network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0
Do a Ping test to make sure that the DI-714P+ is responding.
Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1. A
successful ping will show four replies.
Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the DI-714P+ Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects of the
network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are
having problems.
Note: If you have
changed the default IP
Address, make sure to
ping the correct IP Ad-
dress assigned to the
DI-714P+.
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to
configure the DI-714P+ Wireless Broadband Router.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the
Infrastructure mode.
Troubleshooting
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
DI-714P+ has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, wireless adapters must have
an IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.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.)
default
!
!
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.
!
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.)

procedure will remain the same, regardless of the type of network adapters you are

Troubleshooting
4. 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 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-714P+.
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 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 DI-714P+,
you must also enable encryption on the wireless client.
Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are exactly the
same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Please note
that there are two separate SSIDs for 802.11a and 802.11b. The default SSID
for both 802.11a and 802.11b is default.
!
!
!
For 802.11b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless
Client.
!

7. Resetting the DI-714P+ to Factory Default Settings
After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you
may choose to Reset the DI-714P+ to the factory default settings.
Remember that D-Link AirPlus products network together, out of the box,
at the factory default settings.
To hard-reset the D-Link AirPlus DI-714P+ to Factory Default Settings,
please do the following:
Troubleshooting
!
!Use a paper clip to press the Reset button and
power on.
Locate the Reset button on the back of the DI-714P+
!Turn off the DI-714P+
!After you have completed the above steps, the DI-714P+
will be reset to the factory default settings
!Hold for about 5 seconds (don’t hold too long) and
then release. (Or, release when M1 and M2 flash
at the same time.)
