Troubleshooting
2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure
mode.
•
Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct
Access Point. To check this connection:
Right-click
on the
Local
Area Connection icon
in the taskbar> select
View Available
Wireless Networks
. The
Connect to Wireless Network
screen will
appear. Please make sure you have selected the correct available
network, as shown in the illustrations below.
•
Check that the
IP Address
assigned to the wireless adapter is within
the same
IP Address range
as the access point and gateway.
Since
the DWL-900AP+ has an IP Address of 192.168.0.50, wireless
adapters must have an IP Address in the same range, e.g.,
192.168.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP Address; no two
devices may have the same IP Address. The subnet mask must be
the same for all the computers on the network.)
To check the
IP
Address
assigned to the wireless adapter,
double-click
on the
Local Area Connection icon
in the taskbar > select the
Support
tab
and the
IP Address
will be displayed. (Please refer to
Checking
the IP Address
in the
Networking Basics
section of this manual.)
•
If it is necessary to assign a
Static IP Address
to the wireless
adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in
Networking
Basics
.
If you are entering a
DNS Server address
you must also
enter the
Default Gateway Address.
(Remember that if you have a
DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address.
See
Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.
