If you are using a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router you will not need toassign Static IP Addresses.If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static IPAddress, please follow these instructions:Go to Start.Double-click onControl Panel.

(D-Linkwireless routers have a LANIP address of 192.168.0.1)Networking Basics (continued)Assigning a Static IP Addressin Windows XP/2000You have completed the assignment of a static IP address. (You do not need to assigna static IP address if you have a DHCP-capable router.)Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP).Click Properties.IP Address:e.g., 192.168.0.2Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0Default Gateway: In the window below, select Use the following IP address. Input your IPaddress and subnet mask. (The IP addresses on your network must bewithin the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP address of192.168.0.2, the other computers should have IP addresses that aresequential, like 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4. The subnet mask must bethe same for all the computers on the network.)Click OK.Enter the LAN IP address ofthe wireless router. (D-Linkwireless routers have a LAN IPaddress of 192.168.0.1)

32 Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-G700AP is ON. If the LEDis not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securelyinserted.Check that the Ethernet adapter is working properly. Please see item 3(Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installedproperly) in this Troubleshooting section to check that the driversare loaded properly.Check that the IP address is in the same range and subnet as theDWL-G700AP. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XPin the Networking Basics section of this manual.Do a Ping test to make sure that the DWL-G700AP is responding. Goto Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.50. A successfulping will show four replies.Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure theDWL-G700AP Access Point.1. The computer used to configure the DWL-G700AP cannot access theconfiguration menu.Note: The IP address of the DWL-G700AP is 192.168.0.50. All the computers on thenetwork must have a unique IP address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Anycomputers that have identical IP addresses will not be visible on the network.They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0TroubleshootingThis chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation ofthe DWL-G700AP. We cover various aspects of the network including network adapters. (Theexamples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have another operating system, thesesolutions will still apply, although the appearance on your computer screen may differ.)
33Troubleshooting (continued)Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct accesspoint (DWL-G700AP). To check this connection: Right-click on the Local AreaConnection icon in the taskbar> select View Available Wireless Networks.The Connect to Wireless Network screen will appear. Please make sure youhave selected the correct available network, as shown in the illustrations below.2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructuremode.Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the sameIP address range as the access point and gateway. Since the DWL-700AP hasan IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address inthe 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 thesame for all the computers on the network. To check the IP address assignedto the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon inthe taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP address will be displayed.(Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section ofthis manual.)If it is necessary to assign a static IP address to the wireless adapter, pleaserefer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a DNSServer address you must also enter the Default Gateway Address. (Rememberthat if you have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a static IPaddress. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)Note: Screen shots were takenusing Windows XP. Your screensmay differ.
343. Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly.Troubleshooting (continued)You may be using different network adapters than those illustrated here, but thisprocedure will remain the same, regardless of the type of network adapters you areusing.Go to StartRight-click on My ComputerClick Properties Select the Hardware Tab Click Device Manager

36Troubleshooting (continued)4. Resetting the DWL-G700AP to Factory Default SettingsAfter you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you maychoose to Reset the DWL-G700AP to the factory default settings. Remember thatD-Link AirPlus G products network together, out of the box, at the factory defaultsettings.To hard-reset the D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G700AP to Factory Default Settings,please do the following:Locate the Reset button on the back of the DWL-G700APUse a paper clip to press the Reset buttonHold for about 5 seconds and then releaseAfter the DWL-G700AP reboots (this may take a few minutes) it will bereset to the factory default settings.
