If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller. System Requirements For Configuration: Computer with Windows, Macintosh, or Linux-based operating system with an installed Ethernet adapter 3 Introduction At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DI-784, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly. [. . . ] Each device must have a unique IP Address; no two devices may have the same IP Address. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network. ) To check the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP Address will be displayed. (Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of this manual. ) If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a DNS Server address you must also enter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address. ) 60 Troubleshooting 3. Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly. You may be using different network adapters than those illustrated here, but this procedure will remain the same, regardless of the type of network adapters you are using. Select the Hardware Tab Click Device Manager 61 Troubleshooting Double-click on Network Adapters Right-click on D-Link AirPro DWL-A650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter (In this example, the DWL-A650 is used; you may be using another network adapter, but the procedure will remain the same. ) Select Properties to check that the drivers are installed properly Look under Device Status to check that the device is working properly Click OK 62 Troubleshooting 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. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping? Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the DI-784. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects. 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 Wireless adapter to a different Channel 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. 6. Why can't I get a wireless connection? To establish a wireless connection, while enabling Encryption on the DI-784, you must also enable encryption on the wireless client. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client. For 802. 11g, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 152 bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client. Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are exactly the same. Please note that there are two separate SSIDs for 802. 11a and 802. 11g. The default SSID for both 802. 11a and 802. 11g is default. 63 Troubleshooting 7. Resetting the DI-784 to Factory Default Settings After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to Reset the DI-784 to the factory default settings. Remember that D-Link Air Premier AG products network together, out of the box, at the factory default settings. To hard-reset the D-Link Air Premier AG DI-784 to Factory Default Settings, please do the following: Locate the Reset button on the back of the DI-784. After the DI-784 reboots (this may take a few minutes) it will be reset to the factory Default settings. 64 Technical Specifications Standards: IEEE 802. 11g IEEE 802. 11b IEEE 802. 11a IEEE 802. 3 and IEEE 802. 3u VPN Pass Through/Multi-Sessions: PPTP L2TP IPSec Advanced Firewall Features: Supports NAT with VPN pass-through, for added security MAC Filtering IP Filtering URL Filtering Domain Blocking Scheduling Device Management: Web-based -Internet Explorer v6 or later; Netscape Navigator v6 or later; or other Java-enabled browsers DHCP Server and Client Wireless Data Rates* with Automatic Fallback: D-Link 108 AG 108Mbps 54Mbps 48Mbps 36Mbps 24Mbps 18Mbps 12Mbps 11Mbps 9Mbps 6Mbps 5. 5Mbps 2Mbps 1Mbps 65 Technical Specifications (continued) Security: 64-, 128-, 152-WEP WPA -Wi-Fi Protected Access (WEP with TKIP, MIC, IV Expansion, Shared Key Authentication) Media Access Control: CSMA/CA with ACK Wireless Frequency Range: 2. 400GHz to 2. 500GHz 5. 150GHz to 5. 850GHz Wireless Operating Range: Indoors: Up to 328 feet (100 meters) Modulation Technology: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Complementary Code Keying (CCK) Receiver Sensitivity: 54Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -73dBm 48Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -76dBm 36Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -82dBm 24Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -85dBm 18Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -88dBm 12Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -89dBm 11Mbps CCK, 8% PER, -91dBm 9Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -90dBm 6Mbps OFDM, 10% PER, -91dBm 5. 5Mbps CCK, 8% PER, -92dBm 2Mbps QPSK, 8% PER, -93dBm 1Mbps BPSK, 8% PER, -94dBm *Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802. 11a and 802. 11g specifications.
