Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link 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® 7/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 1
Windows® 7 -
Click on
Start
>
Control Panel
>
Network and Internet
>
Network and Sharing Center
.
Windows Vista® -
Click on
Start
>
Control Panel
>

>
Network and Sharing Center
>
Manage Network
Connections
.
Windows® XP -
Click on
Start
>
Control Panel
>
Network Connections
.
Windows® 2000 -
From the desktop, right-click
My Network Places
>
Properties
.
Step 2
Right-click on the
Local Area Connection
which represents your network adapter and select
Properties
.
Step 3
Highlight
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
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 192.168.1.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 the Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router
(I.E. 192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Alternate
DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click
OK
twice to save your settings.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DWR-953 offers the
following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA (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.

Maximum wireless signal rate derived from IEEE Standard 802.11ac and 11n specifications. Actual data throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors,
including volume of network traffic, building materials and construction, and network overhead, lower the actual data throughput rate. Environmental factors will adversely
affect wireless signal range.
