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-624. 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 secu- rity systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dra- matically 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?

If you have enabled Encryption on the DI-624, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.

For 802.11g, the Encryption settings are: 64 or 128 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. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established.

Move the DI-624 and the wireless client into the same room and then test the wireless connection.

Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control)

In terms of connectivity, the D-Link DI-624 is equipped with four 10/100 Ethernet ports, which enable users to connect wired devices for a stable internet connection. This dual capability of both wired and wireless connections offers flexibility when building a network.

Another notable characteristic of the D-Link DI-624 is its ability to support multiple SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers). This allows users to create separate networks for guests, ensuring that primary network resources remain secure and accessible only to authorized devices.

In summary, the D-Link DI-624 is a reliable and feature-packed wireless router ideal for small networks.
