Introduction TM The D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G650X Wireless Cardbus Adapter is an 802.11b/802.11g (2.4GHz) wireless adapter that supports high-speed wireless networking at home, at work or in public places. Unlike most network cards, the DWL-G650X provides a maximum wireless signal rate of up to 54Mbps* (compared to the standard 11Mbps) when used with other TM D-Link AirPlus G products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products.
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) Installation Considerations The D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G650X 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 There are basically two modes of networking: Infrastructure – connecting to an access point, or wireless router, such as the DI-624. Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, for Peer-to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters on each computer, such as two or more DWL-G650X Wireless Cardbus Adapters. On the following pages we will show you an example of an Infrastructure Network and an Ad-Hoc Network.

Troubleshooting 1. Why can’t I connect to the access point or the wireless router? Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-G650X Wireless Cardbus Adapter is exactly the same as the SSID on the access point or wireless router. Move the DWL-G650X and the access point or wireless router into the same room and then test the wireless connection. Disable all security settings on both devices. (WEP, MAC address control, AES). Make sure that the access point/router is not set to a different frequency.
Troubleshooting (continued) 5. What should I do when the computer with the DWL- G650X installed is unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet? 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.
