Note: Using a power supply with a different voltage rating than the one included with the DI-784 will cause damage and void the warranty for this product.
If any of the above items are missing, please contact your reseller.

Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DI-784, bandwidth-intensive applications like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move across the network quickly. [. . . ] 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.
6. Why can't I get a wireless connection?
To establish a wireless connection, while enabling Encryption on the DI-784, you must also enable encryption on the wireless client. For 802. 11a, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128 or 152 bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client.
For 802. 11g, the Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 152 bit. Make sure that the encryption bit level is the same on the Router and the Wireless Client. Make sure that the SSID on the Router and the Wireless Client are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Please note that there are two separate SSIDs for 802. 11a and 802. 11g. The default SSID for both 802. 11a and 802. 11g is default.

Troubleshooting
7. Resetting the DI-784 to Factory Default Settings
After you have tried other methods for troubleshooting your network, you may choose to Reset the DI-784 to the factory default settings. Remember that D-Link Air Premier AG products network together, out of the box, at the factory default settings.
To hard-reset the D-Link Air Premier AG DI-784 to Factory Default Settings, please do the following: Locate the Reset button on the back of the DI-784. Use a paper clip to press the Reset button. Hold for about 10 seconds and then release. After the DI-784 reboots (this may take a few minutes) it will be reset to the factory Default settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can´t I access the web based configuration?
When entering the IP Address of the DI-784 (192. 168. 0. 1), you are not connecting to the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility. To resolve difficulties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below. Step 1 Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. [. . . ] Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the foregoing limitations and exclusions may not apply. This limited warranty provides specific legal rights and the product owner may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
