The D-Link High Speed 2.4GHz (802.11g) Wireless Pocket Router/AP DWL-G730AP is perfect for the travelling worker. It offers a router and wireless client so you can work virtually anywhere, anytime.

It can work in AP mode,Router mode and Client mode.This article will teach you how to configure these three modes.

1.In AP mode, the DWL-G730AP can be used to create a wireless network in a room where a single Ethernet port is provided. Now multiple wireless clients can connect to the network at the same time to share resources and files.

In Router mode, the DWL-G730AP can be used to share a single broadband Internet connection, such as in a hotel room. The internal DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to ensure everyone in the room can connect to the Internet. In addition, the DWL-G730AP supports VPN Pass-through and firewall features including Network Address Translation (NAT) and MAC filtering to protect your wireless network from malicious attacks.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the D-Link DWL-G730AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.30). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click on the Home tab and then click Wireless to the left.

Step 4 On the Wireless page you can configure the following settings:

SSID (Service Set Identifier) – default is the default SSID. The SSID is a unique name that identifies a network. All devices on a network must share the same SSID in order to communicate on the network. It is recommended to change your SSID to something other than default.

Channel – Channel 6 is the default channel. To change the channel, select a value (1-11) using the drop-down list next to Channel.

In the 802.11g (2.4 GHz) standard there are 11 channels (US) to choose from, all but three of those channels are overlapping channels. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels. The channels can be changed to avoid interference from other wireless devices that run on the 2.4 GHz frequency range (I.E. 2.4 GHz cordless phones and X-10).

Note: All D-Link 802.11g Wireless devices default to channel 6.

Authentication:

• Open System – Any client can attempt to associate. However the data will be encrypted and an encryption key is required to recieve it.
• Shared Key – The encryption key is required before the client can attempt to associate.
• WPA – Wi-Fi Protected Access in conjunction with a RADIUS server in your network. This option is not available in Router Mode.
• WPA-PSK – Wi-Fi Protected Access without a RADIUS server.

WEP – Select Enabled using the radio buttons to enable WEP encryption or Disabled using the radio buttons to disable WEP encryption.

WEP Encryption Select 64Bit or 128Bit using the drop-down list.

Key Type Select Hexadecimal or ASCII using the drop-down list.

• Hexadecimal digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. Best used if using with other brands of wireless products.
• ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is code that represents English letters as numbers from 0-127. You can use any character including (!@#$%*).

Keys 1-4 – Input up to four encryption keys. Select one of these to be the active key using the radio buttons.

Step 5: Click Apply and then click Continue to save the new settings.

2.In Wireless Client mode, the DWL-G730AP allows connection to an existing wireless network, without having to install complicated drivers or additional software. For added mobility, the DWL-G730 AP can be powered over USB if power outlets are not available.

Step 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the DWL-G730AP in the address bar (default is 192.168.0.30). Press Enter.

Step 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click OK.

Step 3: Click the Home tab and then click Wireless to the left.

Step 4: On the Wireless page you can configure the following settings:

SSID (Service Set Identifier) – Enter the SSID of the wireless network or click Site Survey to view a list of available wireless networks.

Channel – Channel 6 is the default channel. The channel must be the same as on the wireless network.

D-Link DIR-625 User Reviews

Pros: Easy setup, choices; improved performance

Cons: None to this point

Summary: Since my son started playing Xbox live I needed to upgrade my original 2-3 year old D-link (DI-524; basic g) router. After research, and reading all the horror stories/reviews about each manufacturer’s offering of routers, I decided I might as well stay with what has worked for me: D-link (also, I use D-link’s “SecureSpot” hardware security and I figured compatibility might be improved if I stayed with a D-link router.)

I chose D-link’s DIR-625 Platinum series (Rangebooster N) router. Carefully, I followed the instructions to a “t” — disconnecting my old router first, running the cable modem’s ethernet cable directly to a single PC, and installing the new D-link software — I was relieved (and pleasantly surprised) that it could not have been easier. Along the way, and as prompted, I downloaded the latest firmware. After successfully getting the “main” pc surfing the Internet, I added others just as easily and without installing the CD software on each pc (I either plugged in the ethernet cable to an open port on the router, or I entered my security key on the wireless laptops.)

The range is MUCH improved; I’m not sure about the speed (but I wasn’t having a problem before.) I think most others who are careful to follow clear, simple instructions they shouldn’t have a problem.

Pros: Amazing range. Simple setup. Comprehensive features

Cons: Not much faster then my old 54mps Netgear

Summary: Easy setup when I had my laptop connected directly to the router. When I then tried to get online with my desktop after setup couldnt get online. I called d-link and they suggested unistalling and reinstalling my usb wireless adaptor drivers and that did the trick no problems after that. works great. Amazing range. I have the Belkin N wireless usb adaptor and about 50 feet away and 3 walls i get 80-90% connectivity, or excellent for you XP users. Only bummer was it is not much faster then the 54mps netgear I had which is why I really upgraded.
