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-556
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-556 and Access Point or Wireless router into the same room and then test the
wireless connection.
