Hybrid network connection-Wireless AP connection Q &

Currently, the bandwidth conditions provided by wired networks are indispensable for building wireless networks in the home. How should we connect Wireless AP to ADSL? Due to the conflict between wired and wireless networks, we still use some soft solution configurations to achieve harmonious sharing between the two.

Q: I bought a D-link DWL-1000AP. Connect the ADSL Modem to the AP, and then enable the laptop to receive signals from the AP. But how can I not dial the ADSL dial-up connection on the desktop?

A: To eliminate ISP network service problems, you should carefully check your hardware connection and software settings. The following lists the steps for connecting Wireless AP to ADSL. Of course, Wireless AP is not necessarily your D-Link brand. Please refer to for modification.

Hardware connection

If you have a desktop, you should also prepare a wired switch. Of course, if you select a Wireless AP with a LAN port, you do not need a switch ). Here we use a laptop + Wireless AP as an example. We need to select a suitable location within the scope of work so that each terminal is enclosed in the wireless range of the AP) Place the AP and connect it to the power source, pull out its backend antenna, connect the network cable to the ADSL Modem, for example:

The wireless network card is inserted into the PCMIA slot of the laptop according to its surface identifier. OK, enable the power switch of the Wireless AP, and prepare the laptop for boot.

Software Environment Configuration

When all devices are powered on, go back to the laptop and start setting up.

Step 1: press the shortcut key to open the wireless network card, in order to identify different brands of notebook shortcut keys, note the use of ibm fn + F5), start to search for Wireless AP, that is, set the AP with a wireless network card.

 

Search Wireless AP connections

Step 2: Open IE and enter the default IP address of the Wireless AP in the address bar. Please refer to your product manual, which is generally 192.168.1.1). Then you will be prompted to enter the AP account and password to enter the configuration program, for more information, see the instructions.

Step 3: Go to the AP management interface and find the SETUP and Installation option.) set the ADSL account and password here.

 

Set the ADSL account and password

In the left box, the communication protocol is used. Select "PPPoE". In the right box, enter the DNS address, and enter the default IP address of the ADSL Modem in the "Primary DNS preferred DNS" column, "secondary DNS alternative DNS" column should fill in the default IP address for Wireless AP connection, so that the Wireless AP connection and ADSL account settings are completed.

Step 4: Set the wireless network card. Like a wired network, right-click "Network Neighbor" and select "properties" to open the "TCP/IP" setting window for the network adapter. Note that the IP address of the network adapter must be set to the same network segment as the Wireless AP, that is, 192.168.1.1-254; the IP address of the Wireless AP should be filled in both the default gateway and the preferred DNS, for example:

Set IP Address

Tip: If DHCPIP dynamic allocation is enabled on the Wireless AP in the previous step), the NIC TCP/IP attribute here should be set to "automatically get IP Address"

Now, the wireless environment has been configured. As long as your laptop is in the range of Wireless AP signals, it should be able to surf the Internet. Note that you must pay attention to the placement of Wireless AP! Sometimes the dial-up is not possible because of location issues, resulting in frequent absence of signals. After the device configuration is complete, you can download the software to test the wireless network speed and constantly adjust the AP location to get the best.
