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 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 and the absence of cabling and other
fixed infrastructure have 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.
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.
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.
Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as
conventional Ethernet network devices.

Wireless Basics (continued)
Installation Considerations
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-700AP and
1
other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce
your D-Link Air Wireless product’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. Awall that is 1.5 feet thick
2
(.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
3
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.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the DWL-700AP. We cover various aspects of the network including network
adapters. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have another oper-
ating system, these solutions will still apply although the appearance on your computer
screen may differ.)
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the
DWL-700AP Access Point.
1. The computer used to configure the DWL-700AP cannot access the
configuration menu.
Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-700AP is ON. If the LED is
not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely
inserted.
Check that the EthernetAdapter 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-700AP. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP
in the Networking Basics section of this manual.
Note: The IP address of the DWL-700AP 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-700AP is responding. Go to
Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A successful
ping will show four replies.

default
Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same
IP address range as the access point and gateway. Since the DWL-700AP has
an IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address in
the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP address;
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
