DWL-G650M User's Manual
2. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose
reception?
D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. However,
the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless range.
Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless Basics section of this
manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your D-Link
wireless products.
3. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security
systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically or
drop altogether. Try changing the channel on your router, access point and wireless
adapter to a different channel to avoid interference.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF
noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.
4. Why can't I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled encryption on the DWL-G650M, you must also enable
encryption on all wireless devices in the network in order to establish a wireless
connection.
The encryption settings are: 64-,128- bit. Make sure that the
encryption bit level is the same on the router and the DWL-G650M.
Make sure that the SSID on the wireless router (if you have one in your network)
and the DWL-G650M are exactly the same. If they are not,
wireless connection will not be established. The default SSID is default.
