A.Under Tools> select Folder Options…> select View > under Hidden files and folders > select Show hidden files and folders

B.Uncheck Hide extension for known file types > click on Apply

C.Search for previously loaded driver files. Remove these files from the INF and SYSTEM32 (DRIVERS) folders in the Windows directory. Note: Windows XP and Windows 2000 will rename .inf files that have not received WHQL certification into oem.inf files (e.g., oem1.inf.)

6.The computer with the DWL-G520+ 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-Link Air, AirPlus and AirPro products is default. (Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar. The Link Info screen will display the SSID setting.)

„In Ad-Hocmode, 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.
