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.
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-AG700AP 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 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.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the DWL-AG700AP 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-AG700AP Wireless Access Point.
1. The computer used to configure the DWL-AG700AP cannot access the
configuration menu.
Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-AG700AP 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-AG700AP.
Please see
Checking the IP Address in Windows XP
in the Networking Basics
section of this manual.
Note: The IP address of the DWL-AG700AP 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-AG700AP 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-7700AP.

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>
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-7700AP 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.

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-7700AP. 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-7700AP, 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-7700AP and the wireless client into the same room and then test the
wireless connection.
Disable all security settings.
Turn off your DWL-7700AP and the client. Turn the DWL-7700AP 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-7700AP, 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.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, D-Link Systems, Inc. (“D-Link”) provides this Limited
warranty for its product only to the person or entity that originally purchased the product from:
· D-Link or its authorized reseller or distributor and
· Products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of
Columbia, U.S. Possessions or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, addresses with an APO or FPO.
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 Period”), except as otherwise
stated herein.
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 non-conforming 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, or the
