4IntroductionThe D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G122 Wireless USB Adapter is a convenient Plug& Play USB 2.0 solution that brings wireless networking to your laptop or desktop PC.With transfer rates up to 54Mbps you can connect to a wireless network athome, at the office or at any wireless hotspot. Now you can stay connectedwherever you are and wherever you go.The DWL-G122 is Wi-Fi compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperatewith other 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi-compliant wireless routers, access pointsand adapters. The DWL-G122 connects to any available USB port on a laptopor desktop Windows and Macintosh-based computer and also includes a USBcradle. With the optional USB cradle, the DWL-G122 can be positioned virtuallyanywhere at a workstation to achieve the best available wireless signal reception- whether that workstation is in your office, on your deck or patio, by the pool, atthe local coffee shop, or in an airport terminal while waiting to board your nextflight.The adapter works with Apple Mac OS X (v10.2x or later) Jaguar, MicrosoftWindows XP, Windows 2000 and other Windows operating systems to ensurethat you’ll be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of seconds.Using its default settings, the DWL-G122 automatically connects to otherD-Link Air or AirPlus wireless products as soon as it’s active.In addition to featuring 64- or 128-bit WEP encryption, the DWL-G122 offersthe added security of WPA(Wi-Fi Protected Access)/WPA2 when used with other WPA / WPA2 devices in a network with a RADIUS server.For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, thesecurity for the DWL-G122, used in conjunction with other WPA-compatible802.11 products, will still be much stronger than ever before when you use thePre- Shared Key mode of WPA / WPA2.TM

6Wireless BasicsWireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the sameprotocols as Ethernet adapter cards.D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, businessor public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow youaccess to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able toenjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmitsand receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are usedincreasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such asairports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLANtechnology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently.Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructurehave proven to be beneficial to many users.People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in anylocation within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions basedon real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.Low Implementation Costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, changeand relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs easeof implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiringmay be impractical.Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fastand easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go - evenoutside the home or office.Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively pricedas conventional Ethernet network devices.Scalability - WLANs can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needsof specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changedand range from Peer-to-Peer networks suitable for a small number of users tolarger Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands ofusers, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

7Installation ConsiderationsThe DWL-G122 lets you access your network using a wireless connectionfrom virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, thatthe number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that thewireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges varydepending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noisein your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to followthese basic guidelines:Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electricaldevices or appliances that generate RF noise.4Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G122 andother network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduceyour DWL-G122’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position yourdevices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.1Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5feet 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 awall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.2Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal dooror aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to positionwireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that thesignal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.3Wireless Basics (continued)

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 thewireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the WirelessBasics section of this manual for further information about the most advanta-geous 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-G122, you must also enable en-cryption on all wireless devices in the network in order to establish a wirelessconnection.If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other homesecurity systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection willdegrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel onyour router, access point and wireless adapter to a different channel toavoid interference.Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices thatgenerate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.The encryption settings are: 64- or 128-bit. Make sure that the encryp-tion bit level is the same on the router and the DWL-G122.Make sure that the SSID on the wireless router (if you have one in yournetwork) and the DWL-G122 are exactly the same.
