Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link RangeBooster N 650 wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection

from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. 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 access point and other network devices to a minimum

- each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices

so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. 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! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead

of at an angle) 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, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through

drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water

(ﬁsh tanks), mirrors, ﬁle cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that

generate RF noise.

5. 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 may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make

sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits

a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Wireless Security

This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The

DAP-1353 offers the following types of security:

• WPA-Personal (Pre-Shared Key)

• WPA2-Personal (Pre-Shared Key 2)

• WPA2-Auto-Personal

• WPA-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol)

• WPA2-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol 2)

• WPA2-Auto-Enterprise (Extensible Authentication Protocol

2 Auto)

• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)

What is WEP?

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4 encryption

algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted

from one wireless device to another.

To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When

using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit

encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are deﬁned by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal

- using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters)

format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to

HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be deﬁned so that you can change keys easily.

Section ꢁ - Security

What is WPA?

WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy).

The 2 major improvements over WEP:

• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys

using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t

been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead

of TKIP.

• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol

(EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-speciﬁc MAC

address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key

encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric

password between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must

be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.

WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a

more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-1353.

Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows^®XP. If

you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)

1. Why can’t I access the web-based conﬁguration utility?

When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a

website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the

device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

• Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

• Firefox 1.5 or higher

• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using

a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may

not be on.

• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software ﬁrewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice,

Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows^®XP ﬁrewall may block access to the conﬁguration pages. Check the

help ﬁles included with your ﬁrewall software for more information on disabling or conﬁguring it.

• Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab,

click the button to restore the settings to their defaults.

• Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings

button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.

• Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three

times.

• Close your web browser (if open) and open it.

• Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link access point in the

address bar. This should open the login page for your the web management.

• If you still cannot access the conﬁguration, unplug the power to the access point for 10 seconds and plug back in.

Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the conﬁguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a

different computer.

2. What can I do if I forgot my password?

If you forgot your password, you must reset your access point. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings

back to the factory defaults.

To reset the access point, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the access point powered

on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the access point will go through

its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the access point. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. When

logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Wireless Basics

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

What is Wireless?

Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi

uses radio frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home

or ofﬁce network.

Why D-Link Wireless?

D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.

D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your

network.

How does wireless work?

Wireless works similar to how cordless phone work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point

B. But wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless

network range area to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks Wireless

Local Area Network (WLAN), and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access

point has a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an

indoor access point, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to

30 miles to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports,

golf courses, and many other outdoor venues.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN)

Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range

up to 30 feet away.

Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it doesn’t use

nearly as much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops,

speakers, and other devices that operate on batteries.

Who uses wireless?

Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, at home and in the

ofﬁce.

Home

• Gives everyone at home broadband access

• Surf the web, check email, instant message, and etc.

• Gets rid of the cables around the house

• Simple and easy to use

Small Ofﬁce and Home Ofﬁce

• Stay on top of everything at home as you would at ofﬁce

• Remotely access your ofﬁce network from home

• Share Internet connection and printer with multiple computers

• No need to dedicate ofﬁce space

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or ofﬁce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s

becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless

connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.

Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote

locations like Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the ﬁrst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to

start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless

network.

Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.

Centralize your Access Point

Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try

to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home.

If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.

Eliminate Interference

Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the

router/access point. This will signiﬁcantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause if operating on same

frequency.

Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Security

Don’t let you next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by

turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the access point. Refer to product manual for detail information on

how to set it up.

Wireless Modes

There are basically two modes of networking:

• Infrastructure – All wireless clients will connect to an access point or wireless router.

• Ad-Hoc – Directly connecting to another computer, for peer-to-peer communication, using wireless

network adapters on each computer.

An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point or wireless router. All the wireless devices, or clients, will connect

to the wireless router or access point.

An Ad-Hoc network contains only clients, such as laptops with wireless cardbus adapters. All the adapters must be in

Ad-Hoc mode to communicate.

Networking Basics

Check your IP address

After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a

DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

At the prompt, type ipconﬁg and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and

the default gateway of your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter

installation, security settings, and the settings

on your router. Some ﬁrewall software programs

may block a DHCP request on newly installed

adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a

hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network

settings.
