DWL-AG132 User’s Manual Troubleshooting 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-AG132, 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- and 152-bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the router and the DWL-AG132. Make sure that the SSID on the wireless router (if you have one in your network) and the DWL-AG132 are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. The default SSID is default. D-Link Systems, Inc. 41
