• Q1: Why can't I connect to the DWL-G700AP wirelessly?

• Q2: Should D-Link 802.11b wireless products communicate with the DWL-G700AP out of box?
  

• Q3: What variables may cause my wireless product not to receive signal?
  

1. Make sure that you have the same SSID set for both the DWL-G700AP and the wireless clients.
2. Make sure that the channel on the DWL-G700AP matches the channel setting on your wireless adapter. Note: Most wireless adapters have a channel auto-scanning feature.
3. If you are using encryption make sure that you are using the same key for the DWL-G700AP and wireless clients.

Yes, all D-Link Air and AirPlus have the same default settings. The SSID is set to default, the channel is set to 6, Encryption is disabled, and mode is set to Infrastructure.

D-Link AirPlus lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, keep in mind, that the number of walls, ceilings, limits range or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing range is to follow these basic principles:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings to a minimum during deployment. Each wall or ceiling has the potential to reduce the range of your D-Link AirPlus Wireless product by 3-90 feet. 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, and Computers - A wall that is 1.5 feet thick, at a 45 degree angle, appears to be almost 3 feet thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet thick! Try to make sure that the Access Point 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, Residential Gateways, and Computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
4. Make sure that the antenna is positioned for best reception by using the software signal strength tools included with your product.
5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.
6. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or drop completely.
