Troubleshooting
This Chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWL-7100AP Wireless Access Point.
We cover various aspects of the network setup, including the network adapters. Please read the following if you are having problems.
Note:
It is recommended that you use an Ethernet connection to configure the DWL-7100AP.
1. The computer used to configure the DWL-7100AP cannot access the
Configuration menu.
Check that the
Ethernet LED
on the DWL-7100AP is
ON
. If the
LED
is not
ON
, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection is
securely inserted.
Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly.
Check that the
IP address
is in the same range and subnet as the DWL-7100AP.
Please see
Checking the IP Address
in Windows
®
XP
in the
Networking Basics
section of this manual.
Note:
The IP address of the DWL-7100AP is 192.168.0.50. All the computers on the network must have a unique IP address in the same
range, e.g., 192.168.0.x. Any computers that have identical IP addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all have the same
subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0.

Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the
correct access point. To check this connection:
Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar and
then select
View Available Wireless Networks
. The
Connect to
Wireless Network
screen will appear. Please make sure you have
selected the correct available network, as shown in the illustrations
below.
Check that the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP address range as the access point and gateway. (Since
the DWL-7100AP has an IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.
Each device must have a unique IP address; no two devices may have the same IP address. The subnet mask must be the same for all
the computers on the network.) To check the IP address assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click on the local area connection icon
in the taskbar > select the support tab and the IP address will be displayed. (Please refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking
Basics section of this manual.)
If it is necessary to assign a static IP address to the wireless adapter, please refer to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you
are entering a DNS server address you must also enter the default gateway address. (Remember that if you have a DHCP-capable router,
you will not need to assign a static IP address. See Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.)
2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure
mode.
