Please remember that D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM wireless devices are pre- configured to connect together, right out of the box, with their default settings.

For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the following:

You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into your home or office).

Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.

Connect the Cable or DSL modem to your broadband router (see the Quick Installation Guide included with your router.)

Install the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter into an available PCI slot on your desktop computer. (See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-G520.)

Install the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM DWL-G650 Wireless PC Card Adapter into a laptop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-G650.)

If you wish, you may connect a computer that is equipped with an Ethernet network adapter (such as a DFE-530TX+) to the router also.

A RADIUS Server is optional. Connect a RADIUS Server to your network to use all the features of WPA. (Without a RADIUS Server you can still use the WPA Pre-Shared Key mode.) RADIUS Authentication can also be provided by another service provider over the Internet and remote to your network site.
