Troubleshooting
• 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.
• Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings
are correctly entered for the network
• In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier
(SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access
points. The SSID factory default setting for the D-Link AirPlus
products is default. (Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar.
The Link Info screen will display the SSID setting.)
• In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same
SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to
establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting
up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish
a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs
being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients
associated to it.
• Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
configured properly. Select AP (Infrastructure) when connecting to
an access point and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting without
an access point. Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar >
click on Configuration to change the settings for the wireless
adapter.
• If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are
entered on both the DWL-520+ and the access point. Double-click
on the WLAN icon in the taskbar > click Encryption. Check to see
that the key selected is set to the same key as other devices on the
network.
