Wireless Basics
D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy­to-use and compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access wireless networks. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires. Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways

Wireless Basics (continued)
to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate
more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this link.
People use wireless LAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any
location within the operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve worker efficiency.
Low Implementation Costs – WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks)
are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change, both physically and logically, can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system
can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.
Network Expansion - Wireless technology allows the network to go where
wires cannot go.
Scalability – Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) can be configured in
a variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

Wireless Basics (continued)
The DI-754 is compatible with other D-Link AirPro 802.11a products, which include:
5GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers
(DWL-A650)
5GHz Wireless PCI Adapters used with desktop computers
(DWL-A520)
The DI-754 is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlus 802.11b wireless family (when you install the DWL-650+ into the expansion slot), which includes:
Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop
computers (DWL-650+)
Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers
(DWL-520+)
Standards-Based Technology
The versatile DI-754 Wireless Broadband Router integrates both 802.11a and optional (with D-Link DWL-650+) 802.11b standards into a single unit.
The IEEE 802.11a standard designates that devices may operate at an optimal data rate of 54 Mbps (72 Mbps in proprietary Turbo mode.) This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high­speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver . OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions. D-Link AirPro 802.11a products will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.
Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard (when the optional D-Link DWL-650+ is installed in the expansion slot), the DI-754 is also interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 22Mbps (with the D-Link AirPlus family of wireless devices), as well as standard
802.1 1b technology (the D-Link Air family of wireless devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps.

Installation Considerations
The D-Link AirPro DI-754 lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1.
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DI-754 and your
receiving device (e.g., the DWL-A650 or the DWL-650+) to a minimum -
each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPro Wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your receiving devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between routers and computers. A wall that is
1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Try to make sure that devices are positioned so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

Getting Started
Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DI-754 will
connect with other D-Link AirPro products.
With a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service provider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local network, without sacrificing speed or security, using D-Link DI-754 W ireless Router.
IP ADDRESS
Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup, such as the DI-754, you will not need to assign a static IP Address.
If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network, please remember that the IP Address for each computer must be in the same IP Address range as all the computers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of
192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the network.
An Infrastructure wireless network contains an Access Point. (Note: The DI-754 has a built-in 802.11a Access Point.) The Infrastructure Network
example, shown here, contains the following D-Link network devices: A wireless Router - D-Link AirPro DI-754
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPro DWL-A650 or
AirPlus DWL-650+
A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 or AirPlus DWL-520+ A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200
Note: to utilize the 802.11b connection to your network, please install the D-Link DWL-650+ into the slot on the back of the DI-
754. Please make sure that the DWL-650+ is fully inserted into the slot. (See the Quick Installation Guide for the DWL-650+.)

Firewall Rules is an advance feature used to deny or allow traffic from passing through the DI-754. It works in the same way as IP Filters with additional settings. You can create more detailed access rules for the DI-754. When virtual services are created and enabled, it will also display in Firewall Rules. Firewall Rules contains all network firewall rules pertaining to IP (Internet Protocol).
In the Firewall Rules List at the bottom of the screen, the priorities of the rules are from top (highest priority) to bottom (lowest priority .)
Note: The DI-754 MAC Address filtering rules have precedence over the Firewall Rules.

If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DI-754, then you can set the client up to unrestricted Internet access. It allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is useful for gaming purposes. Enter the IP address of the internal computer that will be the DMZ host. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DI-754 Wireless Broadband Router. W e cover various aspect s of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems.
Note: It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to
configure the DI-754 Wireless Broadband Router.
1.The computer used to configure the DI-754 cannot access the Configuration menu.
Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-754 is ON. If the
LED is not ON, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is securely inserted.
Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please
see item 3 (Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly) in this Troubleshooting
section to check that the drivers are loaded properly.
Check that the IP Address is in the same range and subnet as the DI-754. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual.
Note: The IP Address of the DI-754 is 192.168.0.1. All the computers on the network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Any computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0
Do a Ping test to make sure that the DI-754 is responding.
Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.1. A successful ping will show four replies.
Note: If you have changed the default IP Address, make sure to ping the correct IP Ad­dress assigned to the DI-754.

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 Access Point. To check this connection: Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar> select View A vailable 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.
default
Check that the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP Address range as the access point and gateway. (Since the
DI-754 has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1, 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.)

Troubleshooting
4. 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 product s 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.
5. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
Antenna Orientation- T ry different antenna orient ations for the DI-754.
Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home
security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your Router, Access Point and Wireless adapter to a different Channel to avoid interference.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that
generate RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.
6. Why can’t I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled Encryption on the DI-754, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.
For 802.1 1a, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128 or 152 bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client.
For 802.1 1b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client.
Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are
exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be estab­lished. Please note that there are two separate SSIDs for 802.11a and
802.11b. The default SSID for both 802.11a and 802.11b is default. If you cannot achieve connection with 802.11b clients, make sure that
the D-Link DWL-650+ is inserted properly into the Expansion slot.
74
Troubleshooting
7. Resetting the DI-754 to Factory Default Settings
After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to Reset the DI-754 to the factory default settings. Remember that D-Link AirPro products network together, out of the box, at the factory default settings.
Reset
To hard-reset the D-Link AirPro DI-754 to Factory Default Settings, please do the following:
Locate the Reset button on the back of the DI-754
Use a paper clip to press the Reset button
Hold for about 10 seconds and then release
After the DI-754 reboots (this may take a few
minutes) it will be reset to the factory Default settings

If a material defect is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines that it is not practical to repair or replace the defective Hardware, the actual price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by D-Link upon return to D-Link of the defective Hardware. All Hardware or part thereof that is replaced by D-Link, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of D-Link upon replacement or refund.
Limited Software Warranty: D-Link warrants that the software portion of the product (“Software”) will substantially conform to D-Link’s then current functional specifications for the Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation, from the date of original retail purchase of the Software for a period of ninety (90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), provided that the Software is properly installed on approved hardware and operated as contemplated in its documentation. D-Link further warrants that, during the Software Warranty Period, the magnetic media on which D-Link delivers the Software will be free of physical defects. The customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Link’s option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Link’s functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by D-Link in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates.
Non-Applicability of Warranty: The Limited Warranty provided hereunder for Hardware and Software portions of D-Link’s products will not be applied to and does not cover any refurbished product and any product purchased through the inventory clearance or liquidation sale or other sales in which D-Link, the sellers, or the liquidators expressly disclaim their warranty obligation pertaining to the product and in that case, the product is being sold “As-Is” without any warranty whatsoever including, without limitation, the Limited Warranty as described herein, notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary.
