Setup and Configuration Problems
1. Lost CD?
If you have lost the CD, software drivers and the manual can be downloaded from the D-Link website. For most systems (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8), the correct drivers will install automatically.
2. Forgotten Wireless Encryption Key?
The wireless encryption key is configured on your Wireless Access Point, Router, or DSL Modem Router. If you cannot retrieve your key, the only solution is to reconfigure your Access Point/Router to use a new encryption key. Please contact your wireless device manufacturer for assistance.
3. Cannot Get a Wireless Connection?
- Ensure the DWA-123 is properly plugged into the USB port. Try a different USB port if available.
- The LED on the DWA-123 should be lit. If it is not, there might be a physical fault with the USB port or the driver may not be installed correctly.
- Ensure that the wireless settings on the DWA-123 match the settings on your Access Point/Router. Please check and confirm your settings for:
- Wireless Network Name (SSID)
- Wireless Encryption Key
- Wireless Security Method (e.g., WEP, WPA2)
- To check the wireless connection status, look at the Windows System Tray (bottom right corner). A red indicator signifies that no valid connection has been made.
- Confirm that your internet connection is working correctly on other computers.
- Ensure you have followed and completed the software installation process. If the connection still fails, please re-install the software. The LED on the DWA-123 should illuminate after successful software installation.
