8. I cannot connect the DWL-810+ to my network.
•
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
the D-Link Air, AirPlus and AirPro 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
Infrastructure
when connecting to a
wireless router 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-810+ and the wireless router
or ad-hoc client.
9. 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
advantageous placement of your D-Link wireless products.
10. Why does my wireless connection drop?
•
Antenna orientation – try different antenna orientations for the
DWL-810+. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from
the wall or other objects
