Internet connection Ok, I have my d-link dwl 122 adapter and I have been using it for about a year and a half.. I got a new one but that didnt work so I went back to the old dwl 122. BUT now when i connect to the router downstairs it can aquire a network IP address and it comes up with a message sayin, Limited or No connectivity. I have tried alot of different things, what can I do to fix this??

it's a driver issue, download the latest driver from d-link

According to the D-link website, the DWL-122 (with wireless B) was discontinued in 2007. The only operating systems it is supported on are XP and earlier.

Click on "Specifications" when you go to the link and you'll see.

The good news is they're relatively cheap to get these days. I'm sure you can find one that works with Win7 at Best Buy or a computer store near you.

Sorry! Hope this was helpful at least!

Please download the drivers from the following link.

On the right side click on DRIVERS.

and your good to go!

Use rare USB connection if you are using front USB.

Check for firewall or antivirus which could be blocking your access. or the best way to resolve this issue is by changing the wireless channel on router setup page.

I think the D-Link Adapter is a piece of ****. I have tried 3com and netgear and they all work well. Try setting Static Address instead of dynamic. Saying that - I didn't power down either as the instruction manual is totally useless.

While you have the router connected to your modem, try unplugging the modem and plugging it back in. This will force the modem to redetect network connections.

It could be one of three problems - either the network adapter in your desktop PC has gone bad, the router or ports of the D-Link have gone bad or the cable you are using to connect the two is damaged. The wireless could continue to work if any of the three are problems.

Check that you have link lights on the back of the PC - you should see two where the network cable plugs in and one should flash when sending & receiving data. Also check that the corresponding light on the D-Link for the port you are plugged into is lit. Try different jacks on the D-Link as well.

To tell if the problem is the PC or the D-Link you need to connect another computer to the D-Link. Can you plug in the laptop (disconnect from your wireless first) and physically plug that in - if you have network connections in & out the D-Link is fine and your network card could be the problem. If no connection to the internet is available when plugged in to the D-Link your router is the problem or a setting in the network properties of the PC could be to blame (the latter unlikely if you recently reformatted).

You could continue to use the D-Link for wireless and pick up a 5-Port Switch or something similar to share the network connection - one going to your desktop PC, another line to the D-Link. This is a cheaper solution than getting a new wireless router.

I hope this helps....
