For the price of a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service
provider you can share the Internet with all the computers on your local
network, without sacrificing speed or security, using D-Link AirPlus
networking products.
IP ADDRESS
An Infrastructure network contains an Access Point. The Infrastructure
Network example shown on the next page contains the following D-Link
network devices:
A wireless Access Point - D-Link AirPlus DWL-900AP+
An Ethernet Broadband Router - D-Link DI-604
A laptop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+
A desktop computer with a wireless adapter - D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+
A Cable modem - D-Link DCM-200
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically.”
With a DHCP-capable gateway/router, there is
no need to manually assign an IP address.
Please note: If you have a DHCP-capable router, such as the D-
Link DI-604 or DI-614+, there is no need to assign an IP Address.
If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the
network, please remember that the IP Address for each
computer must be in the same IP Address range as all the
computers in the network, and the Subnet mask must be exactly
the same for all the computers in the network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of
192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second
computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a
Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the
same IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be
visible on the network.
Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DWL-900AP+ will
automatically connect with other D-Link Air or AirPlus products.
