ready. This LED blinks during wireless
data transmission.
Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. If you have a built-in wireless adapter, please disable it in the device
manager before installing your D-Link adapter. Also, if you have previously installed another wireless adapter, please make
sure any software is uninstalled.
Note: Do NOT install the PCI adapter into your computer before installing the drivers.
Getting Started
Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:
Click the Hardware tab and then click Device Manager. Scroll down the
list and click the + sign to the left of Network Adapters.
Right-click the adapter you would like to disable and select Disable.
Disabling the adapter will not remove the drivers. If you would like to use
the adapter, simply right-click it and select Enable.
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters). Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. 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.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on
range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks),
mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will weaken your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF
noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not
in use.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DWA-525 offers
the following types of security:
• WPA/WPA2-Personal
• WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
What is WPA™?
WPA, or Wi-Fi® Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy).
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a
hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys have not been tampered
with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard instead of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).
WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is
relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to
ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA/WPA2-Personal uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password
between 8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key
entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2-Enterprise incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on
a more secure public key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
2. Highlight the wireless network (SSID) you would like to connect to and click
Connect. If the network is using WPA/WPA2-Personal, the screen (as shown
to the bottom-right) will appear.
If you would like to create a new network and enter the WPA/WPA2-Personal settings,
refer to the next page.

2. Select WPA/WPA2-Enterprise under Set Security Option and then select TKIP
or AES.
4. Next to EAP Type, select EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS(XP/2000), or PEAP. Extensible Authentication Protocols allow devices on the
network to request authentication from the RADIUS server in the network. All the devices on the network must use the
same EAP type when using a RADIUS server for authentication. Some RADIUS servers require that the Validate Server field
be selected. Check this field if your RADIUS server requires validation.
*If you are using Windows 7/Vista, please skip step 3, 5, 6 and 7.
Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DWA-525. Read the
following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a different
operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)
• Move the DWA-525 and Access Point or Wireless router into the same room and then test the wireless
connection.
• Make sure that the Radio is not locked down to a different frequency.
• Turn off your Access Point and the computer with the DWA-525. Turn on the Access Point, and then turn on the
computer with the DWA-525.
• Check to see if the DWA-525 desktop adapter is firmly inserted into the PCI slot of your laptop computer.
• Reset the Access Point to its factory default settings and restore the DWA-525 Wireless Desktop Adapter to the
factory default settings. The default settings are listed in the Configuration section in this manual.
• Make sure that the DWA-525 Wireless Adapter is properly seated in the computer’s PCI slot.
• If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the adapter, make sure to completely remove
drivers that were previously loaded. To remove the drivers, do the following:
A. Under Tools > select Folder Options… > select View > under Hidden files and folders > select Show
hidden files and folders.
B. Uncheck Hide extension for known file types > click on Apply.
C. Search for previously loaded driver files. Remove these files from the INF and SYSTEM (DRIVERS) folders in
the Windows directory.
Note: Windows® XP and 2000 will rename .inf files that have not received WHQL certification into oem.inf files
(e.g., oem1.inf).
6. The computer with the DWA-525 installed is unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet.
• Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating normal activity. If not, there may be
a problem with the broadband connection.
• Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly. If not, check that the AC power
and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
• Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly entered for the network.
• In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the
wireless clients and access points. The SSID factory default setting for D-Link products is default. The default
SSID is “dlink”.
• In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary
to set up one client to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients.
This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple
singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to it.
• Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly. Select AP (Infrastructure)
when connecting to an access point and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting without an access point.
Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar > click on Configuration to change the settings for the wireless
adapter.
• If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the DWA-525 and the
access point. Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar > click Encryption. Check to see that the key
selected is set to the same key as other devices on the network.
• Move the DWA-525 and Access Point or Wireless router into the same room and then test the wireless
connection.

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. Strictly adhering to the IEEE standard, the D-Link
wireless family of products will allow you to securely access the data you want, when and where you want it. You will be able
to enjoy the freedom that wireless networking delivers.
A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of
wires. Wireless LANs 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.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to
use servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide
this link.
What is Wireless?
Wireless or Wi-Fi technology is another way of connecting your computer to the network without using wires. Wi-Fi uses radio
frequency to connect wirelessly, so you have the freedom to connect computers anywhere in your home or office network.
D-Link is the worldwide leader and award winning designer, developer, and manufacturer of networking products.
D-Link delivers the performance you need at a price you can afford. D-Link has all the products you need to build your
network.
Wireless works similar to how cordless phones work, through radio signals to transmit data from one point A to point B. But
wireless technology has restrictions as to how you can access the network. You must be within the wireless network range area
to be able to connect your computer. There are two different types of wireless networks: Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN),
and Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).
In a wireless local area network, a device called an Access Point (AP) connects computers to the network. The access point has
a small antenna attached to it, which allows it to transmit data back and forth over radio signals. With an indoor access point
as seen in the picture, the signal can travel up to 300 feet. With an outdoor access point the signal can reach out up to 30 miles
to serve places like manufacturing plants, industrial locations, college and high school campuses, airports, golf courses, and
many other outdoor venues.
Bluetooth is the industry standard wireless technology used for WPAN. Bluetooth devices in WPAN operate in a range up to
30 feet away.
Compared to WLAN the speed and wireless operation range are both less than WLAN, but in return it does not use nearly as
much power which makes it ideal for personal devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, headphones, laptops, speakers, and other
devices that operate on batteries.
Wireless technology as become so popular in recent years that almost everyone is using it, whether it’s for home, office, business,
D-Link has a wireless solution for it.
Home
• Gives everyone at home broadband access
• Surf the web, check email, instant message, and etc
• Gets rid of the cables around the house
• Simple and easy to use
Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or office. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming
so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public
places is usually called “hotspots”.
Using a D-Link wireless desktop adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote
locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.
Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the first time, it could be quite a task not knowing where to
start. That is why we have put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless
network.
Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network:
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the router/
access point. This would significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same
frequency.
Security
Do not let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning
on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to product manual for detail information on how to set it up.
Networking Basics
Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link wireless adapter and have established a wireless connection, by default, the TCP/IP settings
should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the
steps below.
• Click on Start > Run. In the run box, type cmd and click OK.
• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.
• Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. You may need
administrative access to run this application.
• For all additional prompt windows inquiring of running the command prompt
application, select Yes, OK, or Continue.
• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may
block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
• Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link wireless network adapter (or other adapter) which will be
connected to your router.
• Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as
your network or LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X
where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in
use on the network.
• Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.
• Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.
• The Secondary DNS is optional (you may enter a DNS server from your ISP).
• Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link wireless network adapter which will be connected to your
network.
• Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or
gateway.
• Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router or
gateway.
• The Secondary DNS is optional (you may enter a DNS server from your
ISP).
