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.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs
