Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-touse 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 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

1. The DI-774 is compatible with other D-Link Air Xpert A,B, and G

products, which include:

♦ 5GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers

(DWL-AG650)

♦ 5GHz Wireless PCI Adapters used with desktop computers

(DWL-AG520)

2. The DI-774 is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlusXtremeG 802.11g

wireless family, which includes :

♦ High-Speed 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop

computers (DWL-G650)

♦ High-Speed 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop

computers (DWL-G520)

Wireless Basics

OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal

transmissions. D-Link Air Xpert products will automatically sense the best possible connection speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.

The DI-774 is also interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless devices with data transfer speeds of up to 54Mbps (with the D-Link AirPlusXtremeG family of wireless devices,) as well as standard 802.11b technology ( the D-Link AirPlus family of wireless devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps.

Installation Considerations

The D-Link Air Xpert DI-774 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:

♦ High-Speed 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop

computers (DWL-650+)

♦ High-Speed 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop

computers (DWL-520+)

Standards-Based Technology

The versatile DI-774 Wireless Router integrates 802.11a , 802.11b and

802.11g standards into a single unit. The 802.11a and 802.11g standards designate that devices may operate at

an optimal data rate of 54 Mbps. 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 high-speed 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.

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DI-774 and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-AG650) to a minimum each wall or ceiling

can reduce your D-Link Air Xpert 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-774

will connect with other D-Link Air, AirPlus,

AirXtremeG, and Air Xpert 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 Air networking products.

IP ADDRESS

Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup, such as the DI-774, 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

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.

IP Address for each computer must be in

Tools> Admin

CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area network (LAN). CTS will make sure the wireless network is clear before a wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS will add overhead and may lower wireless throughput.

CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment. If CTS is set to “None” in a mixed mode environment populated by

802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur frequently. CTS will always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is

clear before sending data.

cally decide whether to implement CTS based on the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on the wireless network. l always be used to make sure the wireless LAN is clear before sending data.

Remote Management

Remote Management allows the DI-774 to be configured from the Internet by a web browser. A username and password is still required to access the Web-Management interface. In general, only a member of your network can browse the built-in web pages to perform “Administrator” tasks. This feature enables you to perform “Administrator” tasks from the remote (Internet) host. IP Address: Internet IP address of the computer that has access to the Router. It is not recommended that you set the IP address to * (star), because this allows any Internet IP address to access the Router, which could result in a loss of security for your network. If you elect to enable Remote Management, make sure to enter the IP Address of the remote computer allowed to configure the DI-774. Port: For security purposes, select a separate port number used to access the Router. (The following is an example only; you may use a different port number.) Example: http://x.x.x.x:8080 where x.x.x.x is the WAN IP address of the Router and 8080 is the port used for the Web-Management interface.

Troubleshooting

This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DI-774 Wireless Broadband Router. We cover various aspects 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-774 Wireless Broadband Router.

1.The computer used to configure the DI-774 cannot access the Configuration menu.

Check that the Ethernet LED on the DI-774 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-774. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual.

Note: The IP Address of the DI-774 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-774 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-774.

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:

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 access point and gateway. (Since the DI-774 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 products 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- Try different antenna orientations for the DI-774.

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?

To establish a wireless connection, while enabling Encryption on the DI-774, you must also enable encryption on the wireless client.

7. Resetting the DI-774 to Factory Default Settings

After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to Reset the DI-774 to the factory default settings. Remember that D-Link Air Xpert products network together, out of the box, at the factory default settings.

To hard-reset the D-Link Air Xpert DI-774 to Factory Default Settings, please do the following:

Locate the Reset button on the back of the DI-774

Use a paper clip to press the Reset button

Hold for about 10 seconds and then release

For 802.11a, 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 802.11g, 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.

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 802.11g. The default SSID for both 802.11a and 802.11g is default.

After the DI-774 reboots (this may take a few minutes)

it will be reset to the factory Default settings
