Products:   DWL-900AP+_revC
Operating System:  Windows XP Pro

For best performance the Dual diversity option is advised.

However as you are using external antenna of 22db grid antenna then =
select the External antenna.

Should you require further assistance with your D-Link products, please =
reply to this message, or call toll free at 877-453-5465.  Thank you for =
networking with D-Link.

Products:   DWL-900AP+_revC
Operating System:  Windows XP Pro

Upgrade firmware to the latest 3.07 build 1. Download firmware form this =
site:

http://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=3DDWL-900AP+_revC

Step 1 Download the firmware and save the file to your computer. Extract =
the .BIN file to a folder where you can find it. An easy place to find =
it is your desktop. If you download the .bin file, you do not have to =
extract it.

WARNING: DO NOT upgrade the firmware with a wireless connection. You =
will damage the access point.

Step 2 Connect your DWL-900AP+ to your computer with a crossover cable. =
Verify the link light is lit. You must set your computer with a static =
IP address of 192.168.0.2 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. For step by =
step instructions, please visit =
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=3D1053.

Step 3 Reset the router by holding in the reset button with a paperclip =
for 10 seconds (with the unit on).

Step 4 Open your browser, enter the IP address of your access point =
(192.168.0.30) and click OK.

Step 5 Enter your username (admin) and leave the password field blank, =
which is the default password. Click OK to enter the web configuration =
for the device.

Step 6 Click on the Tools tab and then the Firmware button on the left =
side. Click on the Browse button and browse to the .bin file you =
extracted in Step 1. Highlight the file by clicking on it once and click =
Open. Click Apply. It will take a few seconds for the upgrade to =
complete. Click on the Continue button.

Step 7 After the DWL-900AP+ reboots, close your web browser and reopen =
it.. Enter 192.168.0.30 to reconnect with the web configuration. Enter =
username admin and again leave the password blank. Click OK. The =
firmware upgrade is now complete.

Step 8 If you have problems with the web configuration at this point, =
unplug the power to the access point, wait 10 seconds, and plug back in. =
Repeat step 7. If this did not help, perform a hard reset on the access =
point. To perform a hard reset, use a paperclip and hold down the reset =
button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds while the device is =
powered on. Release it and the DWL-900AP+ will reboot, the lights will =
blink, and then stabilize. Repeat Step 7.

Step 9 You can change your computer back to a dynamic IP address.

Should you require further assistance with your D-Link products, please =
reply to this message, or call toll free at 877-453-5465.  Thank you for =
networking with D-Link.
