Getting Started

With its default settings, the DWL-G820, when activated, will connect with other D-Link AirPlus Xtreme GTM products, right out of the box.

There are basically two modes of networking:

Infrastructure – using an access point or router

Ad-Hoc– communicating with another console, for Head to Head or Peer-to-Peer communication, using wireless network adapters, such as two or more DWL-G820 Wireless Gaming Adapters, on

each gaming console.

This example illustrates an Ad-Hocsetup. Simply connect the DWL-G820 (refer to the Quick Installation Guide) to your Ethernet-capable network device (in this case, a gaming console) and you will be able to connect wirelessly with other gaming consoles also connected to DWL-G820s.
