D-Link DWL-G520+ [36/43] Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

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 previously loaded driver files. 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.)

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. (Double-click on the

WLAN icon in the taskbar. The Link Info screen will display the

SSID setting.)

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.

6. The computer with the DWL-G520+ installed is unable to connect to

the wireless network and/or the Internet.
