Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and 
operation of the DWL-8200AP Wireless 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 
DWL-8200AP .
1. The computer used to configure the DWL-8200AP cannot access the  Configuration 
menu.
 Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-8200AP 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 DWL-8200AP.  
Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics 
section of this manual.
Note:  The IP address of the DWL-8200AP is 192.168.0.50. 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 DWL-8200AP is responding. Go to Start>Run>Type 
Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50.  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 DWL-8200AP.

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 
and 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 DWL-8200AP has 
an IP address of 192.168.0.50, 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.)
 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?
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.
5.  Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
 Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DWL-8200AP. 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?
If you have enabled encryption on the DWL-8200AP, you must also enable encryption 
on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.
 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. 
 Move the DWL-8200AP and the wireless client into the same room and then test the 
wireless connection. 
 Disable all security settings. 
 Turn off your DWL-8200AP and the client. Turn the DWL-8200AP back on again, and 
then turn on the client. 
 Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode. 
 Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. 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. 
 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 DWL-8200AP, and on all the 
devices in your 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. 
7.  I forgot my encryption key.
 Reset the DWL-8200AP to its factory default settings and restore the other devices on 
your network to their default settings. You may do this by pressing the Reset button 
on the back of the unit. You will lose the current configuration settings.
