The computer's subnet mask should be the same as the access point's subnet mask.
The computer's gateway IP address should match the IP Address for the access point.
Make sure the IP address assigned by your ISP matches the DNS IP address for your computer.
For dynamic IP addresses:
Make sure your computer has successfully acquired an IP address from the DHCP server. Open a DOS command
prompt, type
ipconfig,
and the press <Enter>.
Compare the network portion of the address for the computer with that of the access point. The computer's IP address
begins with 192.168.2
.
To find the current IP address for the access point, start the web-based configuration tool. Click
the
Device Status
tab.
NOTE:
It is recommendable to configure the devices connected to the WLAN to acquire their IP settings from
the DHCP server dynamically.
If I do not have a broadband connection, what do I do?
It's recommended that you subscribe to a Broadband service from your local ISP for Internet connectivity and then try the
setup again. However, if your need is to connect additional wireless or wired computers to the existing local network or to
create a new isolated local network, you can configure your TM 2300 router as an access point. To configure the router as an
access point, refer to the
How to switch to an Access Point mode
section in the User's Guide.

FAQs

What is the practical coverage of the Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router?
The coverage of each Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router micro cell varies with physical objects and
interference in the coverage area. The rated coverage is 1500 feet for line of site, open area, optimal conditions, and minimal
throughput. Realistically, in a common home, office, or business environment, each Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband
Router micro cell has approximately a 150 to 250 foot coverage, while maintaining optimal throughput.
The coverage of the system is virtually unlimited. By design, the coverage of the system is extended via multiple access
points (Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Routers) arranged into an overlapping micro cell coverage arrangement,
similar to the cellular telephone system. This allows for virtually unlimited range via roaming, maximum throughput,
redundancy, minimized interference issues, and increased communication reliability.
Does the signal travel through walls
Yes, the signal travels through many barriers including glass, cement, wood and brick.
What devices cause interference?
The Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router and workstation adapters operate in the unlicensed 2.4
gigahertz
(GHz)
band. Other items operating in this frequency range that may cause interference include microwave ovens and 2.4 GHz
portable phones. PCS or analog cellular phones do not operate at 2.4 GHz and do not cause interference. Proper placement
of access points usually eliminates interference problems created by other 2.4 GHz devices.
Can I roam to another subnet with the Dell TrueMobile 2300?
In order to roam to another subnet, consider implementing a
Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN) and have all access points
located on one VLAN.

Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support bridging of two or more Ethernet LANS?
The Dell TrueMobile 2300 supports either a point-to-point bridging situation or a multipoint bridging situation (for 3 remote
locations). Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint AP/Bridge modes require you to use the same product (Dell TrueMobile
2300) at the other end(s) of the bridge. Be sure to follow the instructions on how to use the bridging functions of AP/Bridges.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support repeating?
Yes, you can use the Dell TrueMobile 2300 as a repeater to extend the coverage range beyond the limits imposed by a single
segment.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support notebook computers with integrated wireless adapters
and wireless adapters from vendors other than Dell?
Several computer manufacturers are offering integrated 802.11b/g wireless adapters as an add-on option. Additionally, there
are several manufacturers of 802.11b/g wireless adapters. If the adapter is WiFi™ certified, the adapter should interoperate
with the Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support optional antennae?
The Dell TrueMobile 2300 does not have the capability to accommodate optional antennae.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support Virtual Private Networking (VPN)?
Yes, the Dell TrueMobile 2300 supports PPTP, IPSec, L2TP VPN pass-through.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support MAC address filtering?
Yes, the Dell TrueMobile 2300 supports MAC address filtering.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support individual gaming port settings?
Yes, the Dell TrueMobile 2300 supports individual gaming port settings.
Does the Dell TrueMobile 2300 support
Routing Information Protocol
(RIP)?
No, the Dell TrueMobile 2300 currently does not support
Routing Information Protocol
(RIP).
Can I operate the Dell TrueMobile 2300 in a Macintosh environment?
Page 115 / 178
The Dell TrueMobile 2300 operates in a Macintosh environment; however, the web-based configuration tool typically only
functions with
Microsoft Internet Explorer
or
Netscape Navigator
, both version 4.0 or higher. Dell does not provide support for
Macintosh environments.
