Page 4 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Hardware Overview Page 5 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link wireless adapter lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. 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: 1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapterâs range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2. Be 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. 3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (ďŹsh tanks), mirrors, ďŹle cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal. 4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. 5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Page 12 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Knowledge Base In this section weâll discuss the theory behind Wireless Basics, Wireless Modes, Networking Basics and Wireless Security. Wireless Basics 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. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers. A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and ofďŹce 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 efďŹciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other ďŹxed infrastructure have proven to be beneďŹcial 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. 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 Router is a device used to provide this link. What is Wireless? Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or ofďŹce network. Why D-Link Wireless? D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products. D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your network. How does wireless work? Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). Page 13 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and many other outdoor venues. Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to 30 feet away. Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesnât use nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries. Who uses wireless? Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether itâs for home, ofďŹce, business, D-Link has a wireless solution for it. Home ⢠Gives everyone at home broadband access ⢠Surf the web, check email, instant message, and etc ⢠Gets rid of the cables around the house ⢠Simple and easy to use Small OfďŹce and Home OfďŹce ⢠Stay on top of everything at home as you would at ofďŹce ⢠Remotely access your ofďŹce network from home ⢠Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers ⢠No need to dedicate ofďŹce space Where is wireless used? Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or ofďŹce. People like the freedom of mobility and itâs becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public places is usually called âhotspotsâ. Using a D-Link USB Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers. Wireless network is easy to setup, but if youâre installing it for the ďŹrst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start. Thatâs why weâve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network. Page 14 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Tips Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network. Centralize your router or Access Point Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home. If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range. Eliminate Interference Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/access point. This would signiďŹcantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency. Security Donât let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up. Wireless Modes There are basically two modes of networking: ⢠Infrastructure â All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router. ⢠Ad-Hoc â Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer. Unfortunately 802.11g/n products such as the DWA-135 do not support ad-hoc mode. An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect to the wireless router or access point. An Ad-Hoc* network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless USB Adapters. All the adapters must be in Ad-Hoc mode to communicate. * Not supported with the DWA-135. Page 15 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Networking Basics Check your IP address After you install your new D-Link wireless adapter and have established a wireless connection, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Microsoft Windows 7: ⢠Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. You may need administrative access to run this application. ⢠At the prompt, type âipconďŹgâ and press Enter. ⢠This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of your adapter. Microsoft Windows XP/2000: ⢠Click on Start > Run. In the run box type âcmdâ and click âOKâ. ⢠At the prompt, type âipconďŹgâ and press Enter. ⢠This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some ďŹrewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters. Page 16 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Statically Assign an IP address If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below: Microsoft Windows 7: ⢠Click on Start > Control Panel. Click on the âNetwork and Sharing Centerâ icon. Along the left panel in the window, click on âChange adapter settingsâ. ⢠Right-click on the Wireless Network Connection which represents your D-Link wireless network adapter which will be connected to your network and click Properties. ⢠Highlight âInternet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)â and click Properties. ⢠Click âUse the following IP addressâ and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or LAN IP address on your router or network. Example: If the routerâs LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. ⢠Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway. ⢠Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway. ⢠The Secondary DNS is optional (you may enter a DNS server from your ISP). ⢠Click OK to save your settings. Page 17 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Microsoft Windows XP/2000: ⢠Windows XP - Click on Start > Control Panel. Make sure you are in Classic View. Double-click on the Network Connections icon. ⢠Windows 2000 â From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties. ⢠Right-click on the Wireless Network Connection which represents your D-Link wireless network adapter (or other adapter) which will be connected to your router and click Properties. ⢠Highlight âInternet Protocol (TCP/IP)â and click Properties. ⢠Click âUse the following IP addressâ and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or LAN IP address on your router. Example: If the routerâs LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. ⢠Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway. ⢠Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway. ⢠The Secondary DNS is optional (you may enter a DNS server from your ISP). ⢠Click OK to save your settings. Page 18 D-Link DWA-135 User Manual Wireless Security WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The 2 major improvements over WEP: ⢠Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys havenât been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP. ⢠User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computerâs hardware-speciďŹc MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network. WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point. WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
