Click Close.
Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
Note: Residential Gateways/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 Gateway/Router you will not need to
assign Static IP Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static IP
Address, please follow these instructions:
Go to Start.
Double-click on
Control Panel.

Select Use the following
DNS server address. Enter
the LAN IP address of the
wireless router. (D-Link
wireless routers have a LAN
IP address of 192.168.0.1)
Networking Basics (continued)
Assigning a Static IP Address
in Windows XP/2000
You have completed the assignment of a static IP address. (You do not need to assign
a static IP address if you have a DHCP-capable router.)
Click on Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP).
Click Properties.
IP Address:
e.g., 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:
In the window below, select Use the following IP address. 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.)
Click OK.
Enter the LAN IP address of
the wireless router. (D-Link
wireless routers have a LAN IP
address of 192.168.0.1)

Checking the Wireless Connection by Pinging in Windows XP/2000
Checking the Wireless Connection by Pinging in Windows Me /98SE
Go to Start > Run >
type cmd. A window
similar to this one
will appear. Type
ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
where xxx is the IP
address of the
wireless router or
access point. A good
wireless connection
will show four replies
from the wireless
router or access
point, as shown.
Go to Start > Run
> type command.
A window similar to
this will appear.
Type ping
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx is the IP
address of the
wireless router or
access point. A
good wireless
connection will
show four replies
from the wireless
router or access
point, as shown.
32
Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-G700AP 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-G700AP. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP
in the Networking Basics section of this manual.
Do a Ping test to make sure that the DWL-G700AP is responding. Go
to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A successful
ping will show four replies.
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the
DWL-G700AP Access Point.
1. The computer used to configure the DWL-G700AP cannot access the
configuration menu.
Note: The IP address of the DWL-G700AP 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
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of
the DWL-G700AP. We cover various aspects of the network including network adapters. (The
examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have another operating system, these
solutions will still apply, although the appearance on your computer screen may differ.)
33
Troubleshooting (continued)
Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct access
point (DWL-G700AP). 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.
2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure
mode.
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-700AP 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.)
Note: Screen shots were taken
using Windows XP. Your screens
may differ.

3. Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly.

You may be using different network adapters than those illustrated here, but this
procedure will remain the same, regardless of the type of network adapters you are
using.

Troubleshooting (continued)
4. Resetting the DWL-G700AP to Factory Default Settings
After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may
choose to Reset the DWL-G700AP to the factory default settings. Remember that
D-Link AirPlus G products network together, out of the box, at the factory default
settings.
To hard-reset the D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G700AP to Factory Default Settings,
please do the following:
Locate the Reset button on the back of the DWL-G700AP
Use a paper clip to press the Reset button
Hold for about 5 seconds and then release
After the DWL-G700AP reboots (this may take a few minutes) it will be
reset to the factory default settings.

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.
