3. Wireless Basics
With the DWL-G810 you can provide instant wireless access to the LAN
(Local Area Network) for Ethernet-enabled devices. With an Ethernet (CAT5)
cable simply connect the DWL-G810 to the Ethernet port of a network device
(such as a printer or web camera) to establish a wireless connection with
another device equipped with a wireless network adapter set to Ad-Hoc
mode.
If you are planning a larger wireless network, D-Link offers a wide array of
products for most of your wireless local area network (WLAN) needs. In this
section, we discuss typical WLANs and their components. Much of the
advice given here may be helpful in setting up the DWL-G810. It may also
give you some ideas, if you plan to expand your wireless network.
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 wherever a wireless network is available. D-Link wireless
products will allow you access to the data you want, when and where you
want it. No longer will you be limited to one location or forced to run new
wiring through your home or office. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that
wireless networking brings.
A WLAN is a cellular 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 with the
absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure has proven to be beneficial
for many users.
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. For most users, there is no
noticeable functional difference between a wired Ethernet computer and a
wireless computer equipped with a wireless adapter other than the added
benefit of the ability to roam within a wireless-cell. Under many
circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a
conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet
connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Access Point (AP) is
one device used to provide this link.
8
Wireless Basics
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, both physically and logically,
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 install 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 full infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allow
roaming over a broad area.

Standards - Based Technology
The IEEE standard-based technology assures that this product is
interoperable with existing compatible wireless technology. This means you
will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG
format over your network without noticeable delays. The technology works
by using multiple frequencies in the 2.4GHz range. This D-Link AirPlus
XtremeG product will automatically sense the best possible connection
speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible with the technology.
Installation Considerations
Designed to go up to 984 feet (300 meters) outdoors and up to 328 feet (100
meters) indoors, the D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G810 lets you access
your network devices wirelessly 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 signal must pass thru may
limit range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and any
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to
maximizing range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G810 and your
receiving device (e.g., the DWL-2000AP+) to a minimum - Each wall or
ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus XtremeG Wireless product’s
range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your DWL-G810, Access
Points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of
walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between the DWL-G810 and the device with
which it communicates, as well as between Access Points, Residential
Gateways (routers), and computers. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5
10
Wireless Basics
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
Access Points and Adapters so that the signal will travel straight through
a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or
aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the
DWL-G810, the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so
that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other
materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-G810 transmits and
receives data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.

8. I cannot connect the DWL-G810 to my network.
• Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are
indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the
broadband connection.
• Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are
functioning properly. 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
• In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set
Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless
clients and access points. The SSID factory default setting for
the D-Link Air, AirPlus and AirPro products is default.
• In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the
same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one
client to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly
before setting up other clients. This prevents several clients from
trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in
multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single
BSS with multiple clients associated to it.
• Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
configured properly. Select Infrastructure when connecting to a
wireless router and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting
without an access point.
• If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption
keys are entered on both the DWL-G810 and the wireless router
or ad-hoc client.
9. 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.
10. Why does my wireless connection drop?
• Antenna orientation – try different antenna orientations for the
DWL-G810. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from
the wall or other objects
24
• 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 all
other devices on the 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.

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 liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case,
the product is being sold "As-Is" without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited
Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
