Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
Note: Many broadband routers will automatically assign IP addresses to the
computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable router you will not need to
assign static IP addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable router, or you need to assign a static IP address,
please follow these instructions:
Go to Start.

Input your IP address and subnet mask. (The IP addresses on your network must be
within the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP address of 192.168.0.2,
the other computers should have IP addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3
and 192.168.0.4. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the
network.)
Input your DNS server addresses. (Note: If you are entering a DNS server, you must
enter the IP address of the Default Gateway.)
The DNS server information will be supplied by your ISP (Internet Service Provider.)

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-G650M, 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-,128- bit. Make sure that the
encryption bit level is the same on the router and the DWL-G650M.
Make sure that the SSID on the wireless router (if you have one in your network)
and the DWL-G650M are exactly the same. If they are not,
wireless connection will not be established. The default SSID is default.

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
