Check Your IP Address

After you install your new D-Link wireless adapter and have established a wireless connection, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e., router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Windows® 8 Users
• Press the Windows key and R together. Type cmd in the box
and click OK.
• At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway of your adapter.
Windows® 7/Vista® Users
• Click Start, type cmd in the search box and then click OK.
• At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter.
• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and 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.
