Wireless Basics

D-Link AirPro 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
AirPro 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

Wireless Basics

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 Access
Point (AP) 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 full infrastructure networks
of thousands of users that allow roaming over a broad area.

Wireless Basics

The DWL-6000AP is compatible with the D-Link AirPro 802.11a family of
products, which include:

♦ 5GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop computers

(D-Link DWL-A650)

♦ 5GHz Wireless PCI Adapters used with desktop computers

(D-Link DWL-A520)

The DWL-6000AP is also compatible with the D-Link AirPlus 802.11b Wireless
Family of LAN products, which include:

♦ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless Cardbus Adapters used with laptop

computers (D-Link DWL-650+)

♦ Enhanced 2.4GHz Wireless PCI cards used with desktop computers

(D-Link DWL-520+)

Standards-Based Technology

The versatile DWL-6000AP Multimode Wireless Access Point integrates both

802.11a and 802.11b standards into a single unit.

The IEEE 802.11a standard designates that devices operate at an optimal
data rate of 54 Mbps (108Mbps in proprietary Turbo mode.) This means 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. OFDM
reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.
D-Link AirPro products will automatically sense the best possible connection
speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible.

Based on the IEEE 802.11b standard, the DWL-6000AP is also
interoperable with existing compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data
transfer speeds of up to 22Mbps (with D-Link AirPlus Family of Wireless
devices,) as well as standard 802.11b technology (with D-Link Air Family of
Wireless devices), with speeds of up to 11Mbps.

Supports 802.1x Authentication to prevent breeches in security. In
conjunction with EAP software, 802.1x Authentication verifies client identity
through a Radius Server to prevent unknown clients from accessing the
network.

Installation Considerations

Designed to go up to 328 feet (100 meters) indoors, D-Link AirPro DWL­6000AP 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 DWL-6000AP and

your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-A650) 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 Access Points, Residential Gateways,
and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between Access Points, Residential Gateways
(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 the
Access Points and adapters 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 Access Points,
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.

For the average home or office, signal range should not be an issue. If you
experience low or no signal strength in areas of your home or office that you
wish to access, consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly
between the computers with wireless adapters. Additional Access Points
can be connected to provide better coverage in rooms or offices where the
signal does not appear as strong as desired.

Getting Started

R

ight out of the box, with its default settings, the DWL-6000AP will

automatically connect with other D-Link AirPro or AirPlus products.

IP ADDRESS

Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup,
such as the DI-604, 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. The
Infrastructure Network example, shown here, contains the following D-Link

network devices:

A wireless Access Point - D-Link AirPro DWL-6000AP
An Ethernet Broadband Router - D-Link DI-604
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPro DWL-A650
A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPro DWL-A520

Troubleshooting

This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the DWL-6000AP Wireless Access Point. 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 DWL-6000AP Access Point.

1.The computer used to configure the DWL-6000AP cannot access the
Configuration menu.

• Check that the Ethernet LED on the DWL-6000AP 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 DWL-6000AP. Please see Checking the IP Address
in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this
manual.

Note: The IP Address of the DWL-6000AP is 192.168.0.50. 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 DWL-6000AP is

responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping

192.168.0.50. 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
DWL-6000AP.

53

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 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.

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 DWL-6000AP
has an IP Address of 192.168.0.50, 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 DWL-



6000AP. 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 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 DWL­6000AP, you must also enable encryption on the wireless client.

For 802.11a, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128 or 152 bit. Make sure



that the encryption bit level is the same on the Access Point and the
Wireless Client.

For 802.11b, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 256 bit. Make sure



that the encryption bit level is the same on the Access Point and the
Wireless Client.

Make sure that the SSID on the Access Point 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.

57

Troubleshooting

7. Resetting the DWL-6000AP to Factory Default Settings

After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you
may choose to Reset the DWL-6000AP to the factory default settings.
Remember that D-Link AirPro products network together, out of the box,
at the factory default settings.

To hard-reset the D-Link AirPro DWL-6000AP to Factory Default Settings,
please do the following:

Locate the Reset button on the back of the DWL-6000AP





Use a paper clip to press the Reset button

Hold for about 10 seconds and then release





After the DWL-6000AP reboots (this may take a few
minutes) it will be reset to the factory Default settings
