Troubleshooting (continued)

Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating
normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the broadband
connection.

Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly.
If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.

Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are
correctly entered for the network.

In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID)
is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points. The
SSID factory default setting for most D-Link products is default. (

In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID.
Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a
BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients.
This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same
time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather
than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to it.

5.  What should I do when the computer with the
     DWL- G650X installed is unable to connect to the
    wireless network and/or the Internet?

Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured
properly. Select Infrastructure when connecting to an access point and
select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting without an access point.

If  Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are
entered on both the DWL-G650X and the access point.

6.   How can I troubleshoot distance issues using the

 DWL-G650X?

Move the DWL-G650X and access point or wireless router into the same
room and then test the wireless connection.

Change the channel of the access point.

Move devices within the line of sight.
