Troubleshooting
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 refer to
Installation Considerations
in the
Wireless
Basics
section of this manual for further information about the most advanta-
geous placement of your D-Link wireless products.
5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled Encryption on the DI-754, you must also enable encryption
on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.
Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are
exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be estab-
lished. Please note that there are two separate SSIDs for 802.11a and
802.11b. The default SSID for both 802.11a and 802.11b is
default
.
Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DI-754.
Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other
objects.
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.
For 802.11a, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128 or 152 bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless
Client.
For 802.11b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless
Client.
If you cannot achieve connection with 802.11b clients, make sure that
the D-Link DWL-650+ is inserted properly into the Expansion slot.
