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) The DWL-G820 is compatible, in default mode, with the following wireless products: D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G650 TM Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-G520 TM Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DI-624 TM Wireless Broadband Router D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G DWL-2100AP TM Wireless Access Point The DWL-G820 is also interoperable with other 802.11g and 802.
Wireless Basics (continued) Installation Considerations The D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DWL-G820 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 With its default settings, the DWL-G820, when activated, will connect with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM products, right out of the box. There are basically two modes of networking: Infrastructure – using an access point or router Ad-Hoc – communicating with another console, for Head to Head or Peer-to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters, such as two or more DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapters, on each gaming console. This example illustrates an Ad-Hoc setup.
Getting Started (continued) Infrastructure Mode This example illustrates an Infrastructure setup. To connect the DWL-G820 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-G820. Some game consoles may require an additional Ethernet adapter.
Using the Configuration Menu Requirements for using the DWL-G820’s Web Configuration Utility The DWL-G820 must be connected directly to your computer for configuration. You cannot configure this device if it is connected to a hub or router. If you are incorporating the DWL-G820 into a network that contains all D-Link devices, you do not need to use the Web Configuration utility. With its default settings, the DWL-G820 will connect with other D-Link 802.11b or 802.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) After you have completed the Setup Wizard (please see the Quick Installation Guide that came with the product) you can access the Configuration menu at any time by opening the Web browser and typing in the IP address of the DWL-G820.

Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Home > Wireless Wireless Band- IEEE802.11g. SSID- Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name designated for a specific wireless local area network (WLAN). The SSID’s factory default setting is default. The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an existing wireless network or to establish a new wireless network. Channel- 6 is the default channel. All devices on the network must share the same channel. Radio Frequency- The radio frequency will remain at 2.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Home > LAN LAN is short for Local Area Network. This is considered your internal network. These are the IP settings of the LAN interface for the DWL-G820. These settings may be referred to as private settings. You may change the LAN IP address if needed. The LAN IP address is private to your internal network and cannot be seen on the Internet. Get IP From- Select Static (Manual) or Dynamic (DHCP) as the method you will use to assign an IP address to the DWL-G820.
Using the Configuration Menu (continued) Advanced > Mode An Infrastructure network includes a router or an access point; an Ad-Hoc network is a Peer-to-Peer network with a direct communication between two DWL-G820s. Service Type- Select Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc. AP Client Root AP MAC Address- In Infrastructure mode: Enter the MAC Address of the access point or router in your network.

Troubleshooting This section provides solutions to situations that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapter. 1. How do I assign a static IP address in Windows XP/2000? Please note that routers will automatically assign IP addresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable router you will not need to assign static IP addresses.
Troubleshooting (continued) How do I assign a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000? (continued) Right-click on Local Area Connections. Click Properties. D-Link DWL-G650 Click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Click Properties.
Troubleshooting (continued) How do I assign a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000? (continued) Select Use the following IP address. Enter the IP address. Enter the Subnet mask.
