341.The computer used to configure the DWL-G710 cannot access the configuration menu.Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-G710 is ON. If the LED isnot ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securelyinserted.Check that the Ethernet adapter is working properly. Please see item3 (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-G710. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP inthe Networking Basics section of this manual.Note: The IP address of the DWL-G710 is 192.168.0.30. 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., 255.255.255.0Do a Ping test to make sure that the DWL-G710 is responding. Go toStart>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.30. A successfulping will show four replies.TroubleshootingThis chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation andoperation of the DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender. We cover various aspects of thenetwork setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are havingproblems.Note: If you havechanged the default IPaddress, make sure toping the correct IPaddress assigned to theDWL-G710.Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection toconfigure the DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender.
35Troubleshooting (continued)Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct device. To checkthis connection: Right-click on the local area connection icon in the taskbar> selectView Available Wireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen willappear. Please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as shown inthe illustration below.Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within thesame IP address range as the existing network. (Since the DWL-G710has an IP address of 192.168.0.30, wireless adapters must have an IPaddress in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Each device must have aunique IP address; no two devices may have the same IP address. Thesubnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network.) Tocheck the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click onthe local area connection icon in the taskbar > select the Support taband the IP address will be displayed. (Please refer to Checking the IPAddress 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 areentering a DNS server address you must also enter the default gatewayaddress. (Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router, you will notneed to assign a static IP address. See Networking Basics: Assigning aStatic IP Address.)default2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in Infrastructure mode.
