D-Link DWL-800AP+ [19/58] Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure

mode.

• Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct

device. To check this connection: Right-click on the Local Area

Connection icon in the taskbar> select View Available Wireless

Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen will appear.

Please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as

shown in the illustrations below.

• Check that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within

the same IP Address range as the existing network. Since the

DWL-800AP+ has an IP Address of 192.168.0.30, wireless adapters

must have an IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each

device must have a unique IP Address; no two devices may have the

same IP Address. The subnet mask must be the same for all the

computers on the network.) To check the IP Address assigned to

the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection

icon in the taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP Address will

be displayed. (Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the

Networking Basics section of this manual.)

• If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless

adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in Networking

Basics. If you are entering a DNS Server address you must also

enter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you have a

DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address.

See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)

• If you are using the DWL-800AP+ to repeat the wireless signal, check

that the Ethernet MAC address of the wireless router or Access Point

is entered properly in the settings. Please note that the Repeater

function is compatible with most D-Link wireless routers and Access

Points. If you wish to repeat a device that is not a D-Link product,

please check the FAQs for supported products on the D-Link support

website ( http://support.dlink.com

) to make certain that the device

can be repeated by the DWL-800AP+.
