(Requirements: A Residential Gateway/Router connected with an Ethernet (CAT5) cable to an 802.11a Access Point such as the DWL-5000AP.)

To complete the installation, please follow these steps:

1.Connect the Router/Gateway (for example, the D-LinkDI-704P) to a Broadband connection, (e.g., a Cable modem such as the D-LinkDCM-200cable modem or a DSL modem such as the D-Link DSL- 300.)

2.Connect the 802.11a Access Point (DWL-5000AP) to the router.

3.Install the D-LinkAirPro DWL-A520 Wireless PCI Adapter into a desktop computer on your wireless network. (You can also install the D-LinkAirPro DWL-A650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter into a laptop computer. Please refer to the Quick Install Guide included with each product.)

4.Check the Device Manager to confirm that the wireless adapter is installed correctly. Please refer to the Networking Basics section in this manual entitled: Checking the Installation of the Drivers for the Wireless Adapter.

5.By default, the wireless adapter is set to obtain a Dynamic IP Address. If you are having difficulty connecting, check to make sure that the IP Address of the wireless adapter is within the IP address range of your network.
