Troubleshooting (continued)
6. The computer with the DWL-520 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.
!
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-LinkAir and 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.
