DWL-2000AP
D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G
Wireless Access Point
Before You Begin
It’s best to use a computer (with an Ethernet adapter) that is connected to a switch for
configuring the DWL-2000AP. The default IP address for the DWL-2000AP is
192.168.0.50 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will need to assign your
computer a Static IP address within the same range as the DWL-2000AP’s IP address
for the purpose of configuring the DWL-2000AP. See the Appendix if you need
assistance in assigning a Static IP address for your network adapter.
