Troubleshooting (continued)

4. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?

6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?

If you have enabled Encryption on the DWL-1700AP, you must also enable en-

cryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.

Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control)

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 advanta-

geous placement of your D-Link wireless products.

Turn off your DWL-1700AP and the client. Turn the DWL-1700AP back

on again, and then turn on the client.

Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check

that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.

Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode.

Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, and gateway settings are cor-

rectly entered for the network.

7. I forgot my encryption key or login password.

Make sure that the SSID on the Access Point and the Wireless Client are

exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be estab-

lished.

Reset the DWL-1700AP to its factory default settings and restore the

other devices on your network to their default settings. You will lose the

current configuration settings. Reset and restore the DWL-1700AP to

the factory default settings, without WEP encryption, by using Telnet or

the Console connection. Please see the Appendix in this manual for in-

formation on how to use Telnet and/or the Console connection.
