D-Link DWA-566 User Manual
Section 5 - Troubleshooting
• 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 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.
• Check that the
Network Connection
for the wireless client is configured properly. Select
AP (Infrastructure)
when connecting to an access point and select
Ad-Hoc mode
when connecting without an access point.
Double-click on the
WLAN icon
in the taskbar > click on
Configuration
to change the settings for the wireless
adapter.
• If
Security
is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the DWA-566 and the access
point. Double-click on the
WLAN
icon in the taskbar > click
Encryption
. Check to see that the key selected is set
to the same key as other devices on the network.
•
Move the DWA-566 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.
