Introduction

At up to ﬁfteen times the speed of previous wireless devices (maximum

wireless signal rate of up to ꢀ08Mbps* in Super G mode), you can

work faster and more efﬁciently, increasing productivity. With the

DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or

multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to

move across the network quickly.

The DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP is capable of operating in one of 3 different wireless

networking modes; access point, WDS (Wireless Distribution System)

with AP, or WDS mode.

Use less wiring, enjoy increased ﬂexibility, save time and money with

PoE (Power over Ethernet). With PoE, the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP shares power

and data over the CAT5 cable, making the setup of your network less

expensive and more convenient.

An ideal solution for quickly creating and extending a wireless local

area network (WLAN) in ofﬁces or other workplaces, trade shows and

special events, the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP provides data transfers at up to

ꢀ08Mbps in Super G mode when used with other D-Link AirPremier^™

products. (The 80ꢁ.ꢀꢀg standard is backwards compatible with 80ꢁ.ꢀꢀb

devices.)

WPA is offered in two ﬂavors: Enterprise (used for corporations) and

Personal (used for home users).

WPA-Personal and WPAꢁ-Personal is directed at home users who do

not have the server based equipment required for user authentication.

The method of authentication is similar to WEP because you deﬁne

a “Pre-Shared Key” on the wireless router/AP. Once the pre-shared

key is confirmed and satisfied on both the client and access point,

then access is granted. The encryption method used is referred to as

the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which offers per-packet

dynamic hashing. It also includes an integrity checking feature which

ensures that the packets were not tampered with during wireless

transmission. WPAꢁ-Personal is far superior to WPA-Personal,

because the encryption of data is upgraded with the Advanced

Encryption Standard (AES).

* Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g speciﬁcations. Actual

data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of

network trafﬁc, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower actual data

throughput rate. Environmental factors may adversely affect wireless signal range.

WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise is ideal for businesses

that have existing security infrastructures in place. Management

and security implementation can now be centralized on a server

participating on the network. Utilizing 80ꢁ.ꢀx with a RADIUS (Remote

Authentication Dial-in User Service) server, a network adminstrator

can define a list of authorized users who can access the wireless

LAN. When attempting to access a wireless LAN with WPA-Enterprise

or WPAꢁ-Enterprise configured, the new client will be challenged

with a username and password. If the new client is authorized by

the administration, and enters the correct username and password,

then access is granted. In a scenario where an employee leaves the

company, the network administrator can remove the employee from

the authorized list and not have to worry about the network being

compromised by a former employee. WPA2-Enterprise is far superior

to WPA-Enterprise, because the encryption of data is upgraded

with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

802.1x: Authentication which is a first line of defense against

intrusion. In the authentication process, the Authentication Server

veriﬁes the identity of the client attempting to connect to the network.

Unfamiliar clients would be denied access.

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is available through the

Windows^®XP operating system. You will need to use the same type

of EAP protocol on all devices in your network when using the 80ꢁ.ꢀx

feature.

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. 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 for

many users.

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. The DWL-2200AP

saves money by providing multi-functionality, conﬁgurable in one of four

different modes.

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.

Standards-Based Technology

The DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP Managed Wireless Access Point utilizes the

802.11b and the 802.11g standards.

The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It

increases the maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* (maximum

wireless signal rate of up to ꢀ08Mbps* in Super G mode) within the

ꢁ.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.

This means that in most environments, within the specified range

of this device, you will be able to transfer large ﬁles quickly or even

watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable

delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data

over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division

Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into

multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously

at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of

crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.

The D-Link DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP will automatically sense the best possible

connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.

80ꢁ.ꢀꢀg offers the most advanced network security features available

today, including WPA and WPAꢁ.

*”Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g speciﬁcations. Actual

data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of

network trafﬁc, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data

throughout rate.”

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP 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:

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-2200AP

and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can

reduce your DWL-2200AP’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)

Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is

minimized.

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.

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.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from

electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Troubleshooting

This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and

operation of the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP Wireless Access Point. We cover various aspects of

the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are

having problems.

Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to

conﬁgure the DWL-2200AP Wireless Access Point.

1.The computer used to conﬁgure the DWL-2200AP cannot access

the conﬁguration menu.

Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP 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-ꢁꢁ00AP. Please see Checking the IPAddress in Windows XP

in the Networking Basics section of this manual.



Note: The IP address of the DWL-2200AP 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

Do a Ping test to make sure that the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP is responding. Go

to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A successful



ping will show four replies.

Note: If you have changed

the default IP address, make

sure to ping the correct IP

address assigned to the

DWL-2200AP.

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in Infrastructure

mode.

Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct access point. To

check this connection: Right-click on the local area connection icon in the taskbar>

select ViewAvailable Wireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen

will appear. Please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as

shown in the illustration below.

• Go to Start

• Right-click on My Computer

• Click Properties

CheckthattheIPaddressassignedtothewirelessadapteriswithinthesameIP

addressrangeastheaccesspointandgateway. (Sincethe DWL-2200APhas

an IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address in

thesamerange,e.g.,192.168.0.x.EachdevicemusthaveauniqueIPaddress;

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.)

Troubleshooting (continued)

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the

Infrastructure mode (continued).

Check to make sure that the router in your network is functioning properly



by pinging it. If the router is not functioning properly, it will not connect to the

Internet. If you need to ﬁnd out how to ping network devices, please refer to

Checking the Wireless Connection by pinging in the Networking Basics

section of this manual.

Check to make sure that the DNS server in your network is functioning

properly by pinging it. If the DNS server is not functioning properly, you

may be unable to access the Internet. Typically, your ISP (Internet Service

Provider) will be able to give you the DNS server information.



3. Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed

properly.

You may be using different network adapters than those illustrated here, but this procedure

will remain the same, regardless of the type of network adapters you are using.

Troubleshooting (continued)

4. 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

refertoInstallationConsiderationsintheWirelessBasicssectionofthismanualforfurther

information about the most advantageous placement of your D-Link wireless products.

5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?

Antenna Orientation-Try different antenna orientations for the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP. Try to

keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.



If you are using ꢁ.4GHz cordless phones, X-ꢀ0 equipment or other home security



systems, ceilingfans, andlights, yourwirelessconnectionwilldegradedramatically

or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your router, access point and wire-

less 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.



When deploying several access points and wireless devices, please make sure that



access points in close proximity do not have overlapping channels. Nearby access

points should be assigned channels that are at least 4 channels apart to prevent

interference. For example, with a group of 3 access points you could assign the ﬁrst

to channel ꢀ, the second to channel 6, and the third to channel ꢀꢀ.

6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?

If you have enabled encryption on the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP, you must also enable encryption

on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.

The encryption settings are: 64-, ꢀꢁ8-, or ꢀ5ꢁ-bit. Make sure that the encryption

bit level is the same on the access point and the wireless client.



Make sure that the SSID on the access point and the wireless client are exactly

the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established.



Move the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP and the wireless client into the same room and then

test the wireless connection.



Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control)

Troubleshooting (continued)

6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection? (continued)

Turn off your DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP and the client. Turn the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP back on again,

and then turn on the client.



Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode.



Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that

the AC power and Ethernet cables are ﬁrmly connected.



Check that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings are correctly

entered for the network.



If you are using ꢁ.4GHz cordless phones, X-ꢀ0 equipment or other home se-



curity systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade

dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP,

and on all the devices in your 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.



7. I forgot my encryption key.

Reset the DWL-ꢁꢁ00AP to its factory default settings and restore the other



devices on your network to their default settings. You may do this by pressing

the Reset button on the back of the unit. You will lose the current conﬁguration

settings.
