Wireless Basics D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings. A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires.
Wireless Basics (continued) Standards-Based Technology The DWL-2200AP Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards. The IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases the maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* (maximum wireless signal rate of up to 108Mbps* in Super G mode) within the 2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology.
Wireless Basics (continued) Installation Considerations The D-Link AirPremier DWL-2200AP lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
Getting Started On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network incorporating the DWL-2200AP. An Infrastructure network contains an access point or a wireless router.
Getting Started (continued) 1 2 Setting up an example of a Wireless Infrastructure Network 3 4 5 Access Point Mode 6 7 For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), you may do the following: You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or office). Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem. Connect the Cable or DSL modem to the DI-604 Router. (See the printed Quick Installation Guide included with your router.
Getting Started (continued) Connecting PoE (Power over Ethernet) Step 1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable (included with your package) to the LAN port on the DWL-2200AP and the other end of the Ethernet cable to the port labeled P+DATA OUT on the PoE base unit. Step 2 Connect another Ethernet cable from the DATA IN port on the PoE base unit to your router/switch or to a PC. Step 3 Attach the power adapter to the connector labeled POWER IN on the PoE base unit.

Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWL-2200AP. We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems. Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DWL-2200AP Wireless Access Point. 1.The computer used to configure the DWL-2200AP cannot access the configuration menu.
Troubleshooting (continued) 2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in 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 illustration below.
Troubleshooting (continued) 2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode (continued). Check to make sure that the router in your network is functioning properly by pinging it. If the router is not functioning properly, it will not connect to the Internet. If you need to find out how to ping network devices, please refer to Checking the Wireless Connection by pinging in the Networking Basics section of this manual.
Troubleshooting (continued) Click on the plus sign next to Network Adapters Right-click on D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter (In this example we use the DWL-G650; you may be using other network adapters, but the procedure will remain the same.
Troubleshooting (continued) 4. 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. 5.
Troubleshooting (continued) 6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection? (continued) Turn off your DWL-2200AP and the client. Turn the DWL-2200AP back on again, and then turn on the client. Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode. Check that the LED indicators are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings are correctly entered for the network.
Troubleshooting (continued) 8. Resetting the DWL-2200AP to Factory Default Settings After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to Reset the DWL-2200AP to the factory default settings.
