6Wireless BasicsWireless 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. 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 to 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.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.

7Installation ConsiderationsThe DWL-G122 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 your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.4 Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G122 and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DWL-G122’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.1Be 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.2Building 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.3Wireless Basics (continued)

8Getting Started With its default settings, the DWL-G122 will connect with other D-Link AirPlus G products, right out of the box.A wireless router - D-Link AirPlusTM G DI-524A laptop computer with a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122A desktop computer with a D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122A cable modem - D-Link DCM-201There are basically two modes of networking: Infrastructure – using an access point or router, such as the DI-624.Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for Peer-to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more DWL-G122 Wireless Network USB adapters.On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.An Infrastructure network contains an access point or router. The Infrastructure network example shown on the following page contains the following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be comprised of other devices):TMTMTM

9 You will need broadband Internet access (a cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or ofﬁce). Consult with your cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.Connect the cable or DSL modem to your broadband router. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)Install the D-Link AirPlus™ G DWL-G122 Wireless USB adapter into an available USB port on your desktop computer.

10Getting Started (continued)Setting up a Wireless Ad-Hoc NetworkWhen assigning IP addresses to the computers on the network, please remember that the IP address for each computer must be in the same IP address range as all the computers in the network, and the subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network. For example: If the ﬁrst computer is assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.2 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, etc. IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the IP AddressInstall the D-Link AirPlus™ G DWL-G122 Wireless USB adapter into the desktop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product.) Set the wireless conﬁguration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode, set the adapters to the same channel, and assign an IP address to each computer on the Ad-Hoc network. Install the D-Link AirPlus™ G DWL-G122 Wireless USB adapter into the laptop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the product.) DWL-G122Wireless USB Adapter

37Troubleshooting (continued)2. 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.3. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?4. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?If you have enabled encryption on the DWL-G122, you must also enable encryption on all wireless devices in the network in order to establish a wireless connection.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. The encryption settings are: 64- or 128-bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the router and the DWL-G122.Make sure that the SSID on the wireless router (if you have one in your network) and the DWL-G122 are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. The default SSID is default.
