•
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are
indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the
broadband connection.
•
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are
functioning properly.
Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
•
Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS
settings are correctly entered for the network

In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set

the D-Link Air, AirPlus and AirPro products is default.
•
In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the
same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one

Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
configured properly. Select Infrastructure when connecting to a
wireless router and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting
without an access point.

If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption
keys are entered on both the DWL-G810 and the wireless router
or ad-hoc client.
