the Internal network and do not plan
to use one, the first thing you must do
after bringing up the access point is to
change the Connection Type
from “DHCP” to “Static IP.” The Guest
network must have a DHCP server.

What the Access Point Does Not Provide
The D-Link DWL-2210AP is not designed to function as a
gateway
to the Internet.
To connect your wireless LAN (

Administrator’s Computer
Configuration and administration of the D-Link DWL-2210AP is accomplished with
the KickStart utility (which you run from the CD) and through a Web-based user
interface.
The DWL-2210AP must be installed into a DHCP-enabled network in order to use
the KickStart utility for configuration.
The following table describes the minimum
requirements for the administrator’s computer.
Prelaunch Checklist
Required Software
or Component
Description
Ethernet Connection to
the First Access Point
The computer used to configure the first access point with
KickStart must be connected to the access point (either directly
or through a hub) by an Ethernet cable.
For more information on this step, see “Step 2. Connect the
access point to network and power” in
Quick Steps for Setup
and Launch of Your Wireless Network.
After initial configuration and launch of the first access points
on your new wireless network, you can make subsequent
configuration changes through the Administration Web pages
using a wireless connection to the “Internal” network. For
wireless connection to the access point, your administration
device will need Wi-Fi capability similar to that of any wireless
client:
• Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or
more of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the
access point. (IEEE
802.11b
,
802.11g
, and
802.11g Turbo
modes are supported.)
• Wireless client software such as Microsoft Windows XP or
Funk Odyssey wireless client configured to associate with
the D-Link DWL-2210AP.
For more details on Wi-Fi client setup, see “Wireless Client
Computers” in this manual.

CD-ROM Drive
The administrator’s computer must have a CD-ROM drive to
run the KickStart Wizard on the CD-ROM.
Security Settings
Ensure that security is disabled on the wireless client used
to initially configure the access point.
Web Browser / Operating
System
Configuration and administration of the D-Link
DWL-2210AP is provided through a Web-based user
interface hosted on the access point. We recommend using
one of the following supported Web browsers to access the
access point Administration Web pages:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 or 6.x (with
up-to-date patch level for either major version) on Microsoft
Windows XP or Microsoft Windows 2000
• Netscape Mozilla on Redhat Linux version 2.4
The administration Web browser must have JavaScript
enabled to support the interactive features of the
administration interface. It must also support HTTP uploads
to use the firmware upgrade feature.
Prelaunch Checklist
You can run the KickStart Wizard on the D-Link CD-ROM
on any Windows laptop or computer that is connected to the
access point either directly or through a switch. It detects
D-Link DWL-2210APs on the network. When used in a
DHCP-enabled network, the wizard steps you through initial
configuration of new access points, and provides a link to the
Administration Web pages where you finish up the basic setup
process in a step-by-step mode and launch the network.
For more about using the KickStart Wizard, see “Step 3. Run
KickStart Wizard to find access points on the network” in
“Quick Steps for Setup and Launch of Your Wireless Network”
in this manual.

Wireless Client Computers
The D-Link DWL-2210AP provides wireless access to any client with a properly
configured Wi-Fi client adapter for the 802.11b and 802.11g modes in which the access
point is running.
Multiple client operating systems are supported. Clients can be laptops or desktops,
personal digital assistants (PDAs), or any other hand-held, portable or stationary device
equipped with a Wi-Fi adapter and supporting drivers.
In order to connect to the access point, wireless clients need the following software
and hardware.
Required Software
or Component
Description
Wi-Fi Client Adapter
Portable or built-in Wi-Fi client adapter that supports one or more
of the IEEE 802.11 modes in which you plan to run the access
point. (IEEE
802.11b and 802.11g
modes are supported.)
Wi-Fi client adapters vary considerably. The adapter can be a PC
card built in to the client device, a portable PCMCIA or PCI card
(types of
NIC
s), or an external device such as a USB or Ethernet
adapter that you connect to the client by means of a cable.
The access point supports 802.11b/g modes, but you will probably
make a decision during network design phase as to which mode
to use. The fundamental requirement for clients is that they all
have configured adapters that match the
802.11 mode for which your access point(s) is configured.
Client software such as Microsoft Windows Supplicant or Funk
Odyssey wireless client configured to associate with the
D-Link DWL-2210AP.
