3. Wireless Basics With the DWL-G810 you can provide instant wireless access to the LAN (Local Area Network) for Ethernet-enabled devices. With an Ethernet (CAT5) cable simply connect the DWL-G810 to the Ethernet port of a network device (such as a printer or web camera) to establish a wireless connection with another device equipped with a wireless network adapter set to Ad-Hoc mode.
Wireless Basics People use WLAN technology for many different purposes. Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency. Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation.
Wireless Basics The DWL-G810 is also compatible with the following D-Link AirPlus family of products: DWL-650+ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapter for laptop PCs DWL-520+ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI card for desktop PCs DWL-900AP+ Wireless Access Point DI-614+ Wireless Router Standards - Based Technology The IEEE standard-based technology assures that this product is interoperable with existing compatible wireless technology.
Wireless Basics meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position Access Points and Adapters so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. 3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range.
Getting Started Setup #2: This example illustrates an Infrastructure setup. To connect the DWL-G810 to a wireless network with a wireless router or access point, please refer to the printed Quick Installation Guide included with the product. Web configuration is required to connect the DWL-G810 in Setup #2.
5. Web Configuration Before using the Web Configuration for the DWL-G810, please consider the following: You will need a JavaScript-enabled web-browser such as the Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, or the Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later. The computer that you are using for initial configuration must have an IP Address within the same range as the IP Address of the DWLG810. The DWL-G810 has a default IP Address of 192.168.0.30 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.
Configuration Menu Whenever you want to configure your network or the DWL-G810, you can access the Configuration Utility by opening the web-browser and typing in the IP Address of the DWL-G810. The DWL-G810 default IP Address is shown below: • • Open the web browser Type in the IP Address of the Access Point http://192.168.0.30 (The IP Address shown in the example above is the default setting.
Configuration Menu This window displays the default settings of the DWL-G810. The default IP Address is 192.168.30. If you select Dynamic IP Address, you will obtain a dynamic IP Address from a DHCP server on your network. The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. Input the IP Address of the Gateway (the router on your network.) Click Apply if you have made any changes. Network Wireless Operating Mode: Select Ad-hoc or Infrastructure. Infrastructure is the default setting.
Configuration Menu Channel: Channel 6 is the default channel. Input a new number if you want to change the default setting. All devices on the network must be set to the same channel to communicate on the network. WEP Encryption: Select Enable Encryption to use WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) on the network. All devices on the network, and the Access Point, must share the same WEP selection – either Enable or Disable, and they must share the same WEP key.
Configuration Menu Admin Administrator Settings: Change your password in this window. Reenter the new password to confirm. It can be up to 14 characters in length. Please keep a copy of your password in a safe place. Click Apply, if you have made any changes. System Settings: The current system settings can be saved as a file onto the local hard drive by clicking Save. The saved file can be loaded back on the DWL-G810 by clicking Browse. When you have selected the settings file, click Load.
Configuration Menu Help The Help window displays information about each window in the Configuration menu. When you change the settings in the Configuration menu, you will need to restart the DWL-G810 for the changes to take effect.
6. Troubleshooting This section provides solutions to situations that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWL-G810 Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. 1. How do I assign a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000? Please note that Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technology.
How do I assign a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000? (continued) • Right-click on Local Area Connections • Double-click Properties • Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) • Click Properties • In the window below, select Use the following IP address • Input your IP address and subnet mask. (The IP Addresses on your network must be within the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP Address of 192.168.0.2, the other computers should have IP addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.
How do I assign a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000? (continued) • IP Address: e.g., 192.168.0.2 • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 • Default Gateway: Enter the LAN IP address of the wireless router. (D-Link wireless routers have a LAN IP address of 192.168.0.1) • Select Use the following DNS server address. Enter the LAN IP address of the Wireless Router.

(continued) • Select Built-in Ethernet in the Show pull-down menu • Select Manually in the Configure pull-down menu. • Input the Static IP Address, the Subnet Mask and the Router IP Address in the appropriate fields. • Click Apply Now 3. The DWL-G810 Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge Power light is not on. • Check to see if the DWL-G810 Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge power adapter is connected properly to a known good power outlet. 4.
Advanced Setup (optional) For advanced setup features, enter http://192.168.0.30 into your Internet browser and gain access to the web configuration of the DWL-G810. The advanced setup features can be used to change the LAN and wireless settings for your DWL-G810 Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge. 5. I cannot connect to another wireless client in Ad-Hoc mode. • The DWL-G810 Ethernet-to-Wireless Bridge has a default SSID of default.
8. I cannot connect the DWL-G810 to my network. • 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.
• • If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your Router, Access Point and all other devices on the network to avoid interference. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.
