WUA-1340
IEEE 802.11g Wireless USB Adapter
Manual
Building Networks for People
Introduction
The D-Link WUA-1340 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 at
home, at the office or at any wireless hotspot. Now you can stay connected
wherever you are and wherever you go.
The WUA-1340 is Wi-Fi compliant, meaning that it can connect and interoperate
with other 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi-compliant wireless routers, access points
and adapters. The WUA-1340 connects to any available USB port on a laptop
or desktop Windows and Macintosh-based computer and also includes a USB
cradle. With the optional USB cradle, the WUA-1340 can be positioned virtually
anywhere 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, at
the local coffee shop, or in an airport terminal while waiting to board your next
flight.
The adapter works with Apple Mac OS X (v10.3x or later) Jaguar, Microsoft
Windows XP, Windows 2000 and other Windows operating systems to ensure
that you’ll be up and running on a wireless network in just a matter of seconds.
Using its default settings, the WUA-1340 automatically connects to other
D-Link Air or AirPlus wireless products as soon as it’s active.
In addition to featuring 64- or 128-bit WEP encryption, the WUA-1340 offers
the 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, the
security for the WUA-1340, used in conjunction with other WPA-compatible
802.11 products, will still be much stronger than ever before when you use the
Pre- Shared Key mode of WPA / WPA2.

Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-touse and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business
or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you
access to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to
enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a 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 and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure
have proven to be beneficial to 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.
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 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 pull 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
larger Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of
users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.
Wireless Basics (continued)
Installation Considerations
The WUA-1340 lets you access your network using a wireless connection
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 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 WUA-1340 and
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your WUA-1340’s 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 can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door
or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position
wireless devices 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 generate RF noise.
Getting Started
There are basically two modes of networking:
Infrastructure – using an access point or router, such as the DI-624.
Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for Peer-to-Peer
communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such
as two or more WUA-1340 Wireless Network USB adapters.
On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure
Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.
An Infrastructure network contains an access point or router. The
Infrastructure network example shown on the following page contains the
following D-Link network devices (your existing network may be comprised of
other devices):
A wireless router - D-Link AirPlusTM G DI-524
A laptop computer with a D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G122
A desktop computer with a D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G120
A cable modem - D-Link DCM-201
Getting Started (continued)
Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network
WUA-1340
WUA-1340
For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the following:
You will need broadband Internet access (a cable or DSL-subscriber
line into your home or office).
Consult with your cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the
modem.
Connect the cable or DSL modem to your broadband router. (See the
Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)
Install the D-Link WUA-1340 Wireless USB adapter into an
available USB port on your desktop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the WUA-1340.)
Install the D-Link WUA-1340 wireless USB adapter into an
available USB port on your laptop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the WUA-1340.)
Getting Started (continued)
Setting up a Wireless Ad-Hoc Network
Wireless USB Adapter
Install the D-Link WUA-1340 Wireless USB adapter into
the desktop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with
the product.)
Install the D-Link WUA-1340 Wireless USB adapter into
the laptop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with
the product.)
Set the wireless configuration for the adapters to Ad-Hoc mode, set
the adapters to the same channel, and assign an IP address to each
computer on the Ad-Hoc network.
IP Address
When assigning IP addresses to the computers on the network, please
remember that the IP address for each computer must be in the same
IP address range as all the computers in the network, and the subnet
mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.2
with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be
assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.3 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0,
etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP
address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.
Using the Configuration Utility
D-Link WUA-1340 uses the Configuration Utility as the
management software. The utility provides the user an easy interface to change
any settings related to the wireless adapter. After you have completed the

2. 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.
3. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
 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 wireless adapter to a different channel 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.
4. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled encryption on the WUA-1340, you must also enable encryption on all wireless devices in the network in order to establish a wireless
connection.
 The encryption settings are: 64- or 128-bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the router and the WUA-1340.
 Make sure that the SSID on the wireless router (if you have one in your
network) and the WUA-1340 are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. The default SSID is default.

Products purchased and delivered within the fifty states of the United States, the District of
Columbia, U.S. Possessions or Protectorates, U.S. Military Installations, addresses with an

Limited Warranty: D-Link warrants that the hardware portion of the D-Link products described
below will be free from material defects in workmanship and materials from the date of original retail
purchase of the product, for the period set forth below applicable to the product type (“Warranty
Period”), except as otherwise stated herein.
1-Year Limited Warranty for the Product(s) is defined as follows:
•
•
•

D-Link’s sole obligation shall be to repair or replace the defective Hardware during the Warranty Period
at no charge to the original owner or to refund at D-Link’s sole discretion. Such repair or replacement will
be rendered by D-Link at an Authorized D-Link Service Office. The replacement Hardware need not be
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.
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 nonconforming 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,

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.
