Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on
Start
and type
cmd
in the
Search
box.
At the prompt, type
ipconfig
and press
Enter
.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the
default gateway of your adapter.
If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 or empty, check your adapter
installation, security settings, and the settings on your
router. Some firewall software programs may block a
DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
