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

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

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

from the wireless
router or access
point, as shown.

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.
