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.
3
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.
2
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.
1
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).

the access point
(The IP address shown in the example above is the default setting. Use this IP address when connecting to
a network consisting of other D-Link devices set to their default settings. If you have changed the IP address
of the DWL-700AP to conform to a network other than one with D-Link devices, then input that IP address in
the web browser, instead of the default IP address shown.)
