4. What should I do when the computer with the DWA-510 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 most D-Link 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.
