Introduction

The versatile D-Link Air DWL-700AP Wireless Access Point is an 802.11b high-performance

wireless device that can be used in one of three modes: as an access point, a repeater, or

a wireless client. It is an ideal way to extend the reach and number of computers connected

to your wireless network.

The DWL-700AP is compatible with existing 802.11b devices such as the D-Link Air and

AirPlus family of products including the DWL-650 and DWL-650+ Wireless Cardbus Adapters,

the DI-614+ Wireless Router, and the DWL-120 Wireless USB Adapter.

After completing the steps outlined in the Quick Installation Guide (included in your package)

you will have the ability to share information and resources, such as ﬁles and printers, and

enjoy the freedom that wireless networking brings.

The DWL-700AP is compatible with most popular operating systems, including Macintosh,

Linux and Windows, and can be integrated into a larger network. This manual is designed

to help you connect the Access Point and the D-Link Wireless Adapters into a network in

Infrastructure mode. Please take a look at the Getting Started section in this manual to see

an example of an Infrastructure network using the DWL-700AP.

The IEEE 802.11b Ethernet standard allows you to connect computers and 802.11b

compatible devices at speeds up to 11Mbps*, dependent upon the distance between wireless

adapters, the conﬁguration of your working environment, or the capabilities or limitations of

your computer systems.

* Maximum wireless signal rate based on IEEE Standard 802.11b speciﬁcations. Actual data

throughput will vary. Network conditions and environmental factors, including volume of network

trafﬁc, building materials and construction, and network overhead lower actual data throughput

rate.

Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide easy-to-use and

compatible high-speed wireless connectivity within your home, business or public access

wireless networks. D-Link wireless products will allow you access to the data you want,

when and where you want it. You will be able to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking

brings.

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and

receives data with radio signals instead of wires. WLANs are used increasingly in both home

and ofﬁce environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and universities.

Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate

more efﬁciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other ﬁxed infrastructure

have proven to be beneﬁcial for many users.

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network. Wireless adapter

cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter

cards.

People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:

Mobility - Productivity increases when people have access to data in any location within the

operating range of the WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can

signiﬁcantly improve worker efﬁciency.

Low Implementation Costs – WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate.

Networks that frequently change can beneﬁt from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs

can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.

Installation and Network Expansion - Installing a WLAN system can be fast and easy and

can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology allows

the network to go where wires cannot go - even outside the home or ofﬁce.

Scalability – WLANs can be conﬁgured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of speciﬁc

applications and installations. Conﬁgurations are easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer

networks suitable for a small number of users to larger infrastructure networks to accommodate

hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

Inexpensive Solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional

Ethernet network devices.

Installation Considerations

The number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass

through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF

(radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these

basic guidelines:

Wireless Basics (continued)

Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and

computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open

doorways and not other materials.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick

(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a

2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the

signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better

reception.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-700AP and other network

devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link Air Wireless

product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that the number

of walls or ceilings is minimized.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices

or appliances that generate RF noise.

Please remember that D-Link Air wireless devices are pre-conﬁgured to connect

together, right out of the box, with their default settings.

You will need broadband Internet access (a Cable or DSL-subscriber line into

your home or ofﬁce).

Consult with your Cable or DSL provider for proper installation of the modem.

Connect the Cable or DSL modem to your broadband router (see the Quick

Installation Guide included with your router.)

If you are connecting a desktop computer in your network, you can install the

D-Link Air DWL-520 Wireless PCI Adapter into an available PCI slot on your

desktop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-520).

Install the D-Link Air DWL-650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter into a laptop computer.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-650).

Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network

Getting Started

Connect the router to the D-Link Air DWL-700AP.

(See the Quick Installation Guide included with the DWL-700).

For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown above), please do the following:
