D-Link DWL-510 manual Cannot connect to the access point or the wireless router

Troubleshooting

2.I cannot connect to the access point or the wireless router.

•Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-510 PCI adapter is exactly the same as the SSID on the Access Point or wireless router.

3.The DWL-510 Link lights are not on.

•Check to see if the DWL-510 PCI adapter is firmly inserted into a PC PCI slot.

4.The computer does not recognize the DWL-510 Wireless Adapter.

•Make sure that the DWL-510 Wireless Adapter is properly seated in the computer’s PCI slot.

•If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the adapter, make sure to completely remove drivers that were previously loaded. To remove the drivers, do the following:

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 the files NETR33X.INF and NETR33X.SYS. 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.)

5.The computer with the DWL-510 installed is unable to connect to the wireless network.

•Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the broadband connection.

Troubleshooting

•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.
