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 router. Refer to product manual for detail information
on how to set it up.
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, such as two or more DIR-412 wireless network Cardbus adapters.
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.

Check your IP address
After you install your 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.
(Windows Vista
®
users type
cmd
in the
Start Search
box.)
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.

Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps
below:

Step 2
Right-click on the
Local Area Connection
which represents your network adapter and select
Properties
.
Step 3
Highlight
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
and click
Properties
.
Step 4
Click
Use the following IP address
and enter an IP address that is on the same
subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example:
If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address
192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number
you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN
IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
