A good wireless connection will show four replies from the wireless router or access point, as shown. 33 Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender. 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-G710 Wireless Range Extender. 1.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 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-G710. Please see Checking the IP Address in Windows XP in the Networking Basics section of this manual. Note: The IP address of the DWL-G710 is 192.168.0.30. 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-G710 is responding. Go to Start>Run>Type Command>Type ping 192.168.0.30. 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-G710. 34 Troubleshooting (continued) 2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in Infrastructure mode. Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct device. 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 illustration below. default
Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP address range as the existing network. (Since the DWL-G710 has an IP address of 192.168.0.30, 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.) 35 Troubleshooting (continued) 2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode (continued).
Please note that the DWL-G710 is compatible with the following D-Link devices:
1 2 3 D-Link AirPlusTM G DI-524 Wireless Router D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G700AP Wireless Access Point D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G710 Wireless Range Extender
If you wish to repeat a device that is not a D-Link product, please check the FAQs for supported products on the D-Link support website
(http://support.dlink.com) to make certain that the device can be repeated by the DWL-G710. 3. Check that the drivers for the network adapters are installed properly. You may be using different network adapters than those illustrated here, but this procedure will remain the same, regardless of the type of network adapters you are using.
Go to Start > My Computer > Properties.
Select the Hardware tab.
Click Device Manager. 36 Troubleshooting (continued)
Double-click on Network Adapters.
Right-click on D-Link AirPlusTM G DWL-G630 Wireless Cardbus Adapter (In this example we use the DWL-G630;
you may be using other network adapters, but the procedure will remain the same.)
Select Properties to check that the drivers are installed properly.
Look under Device Status to check that the device is working properly. D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G630 D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G630 Wireless Cardbus Adapter D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G630 Wireless Cardbus Adapter
Click OK. 37 Troubleshooting (continued) 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-G710. 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 cant I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled encryption on the DWL-G710, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.
Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the DWL-G710 and the wireless client. Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-G710 and the wireless client are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established.
Check that the DWL-G710 is configured properly.
Check that the wireless clients are working properly. 38 Troubleshooting (continued) 6. Why cant I get a wireless connection? (continued)
Make sure that all devices are set to Infrastructure mode.
Check that the LEDs are indicating normal activity. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway settings are correctly entered for the network. 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 DWL-G710, and on all the devices in your network 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. 7. I forgot my encryption key.
Reset the DWL-G710 to its factory default settings and restore the other devices on your network to their default settings. You may do this by pressing the Reset button on the back of the unit. You will lose the current configuration settings. 39 Troubleshooting (continued) 8. Resetting the DWL-G710 to factory default settings After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to Reset the DWL-G710 to the factory default settings. Reset button To hard-reset the D-Link DWL-G710 to the factory default settings, please do the following:
Locate the Reset button on the back of the DWL-G710.
Use a paper clip to press the Reset button.
Hold for about 5 seconds and then release.
After the DWL-G710 reboots (this may take a few minutes) it will be reset to the factory Default settings. 40 Technical Specifications Standards
