8.I cannot connect the DWL-810+ to my 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.

•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.

•In Ad-Hoc mode, 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.

•Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly. Select Infrastructure when connecting to a wireless router and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting without an access point.

•If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the DWL-810+ and the wireless router or ad-hoc client.

9.What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?

•D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your D-Link wireless products.

10.Why does my wireless connection drop?

•Antenna orientation – try different antenna orientations for the DWL-810+. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects
