have the d link adaptor for wireless access to my home network but 9 times out of ten when i plug it in my i book freezes and tells me i need to restart if i leave the adaptor in the same happens before the full system has uploaded is this just a memory issue and how easy is it to upgrade memory in ibooks
cheers for any help

hiya,
just to let u know i have the same d link dwl 122. i have had no problems with the adapter as i have used a 3rd party driver that u will find below on this link.
http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/15997
This adapter is know to have problems but this fixes it all as it has now made the d link dwl-122 a cheap partner for wireless networks.
hope this is what u r looking 4.
As for the memory u must switch off the ibook and open the keyboard via the latches near the esc and f12 buttons. then to open up the airport slot and then just plug in the new memory. see user manual that came witht the ibook.
kind regards
david

Patch for D-Link DWL-122

I tried installing my DWL-122 adaptor. The installation worked but when I tried to open D-link with system preferences, I got a notice saying D-link panel could not be opened in systems preference. I contacted D-link and they told me to call apple and ask for a patch to connect D-link to version 1.32. Any ideas? What the heck is a patch?

DWL-122 Encryption problems

Got a little problem. I have got a D-Link DWL-122 wireless usb stick for my G3 ibook (running OS 10.2.8). When no encryption is used on the express station, the ibook can connect to the wrieless easily with no problems. When I enable encryption on the express station (private WEP 1), along with updating the ibook with the passwork it can no longer connect.
Yes the password is 100% correct and I have tried all the different WEP types on the DWL-122 software (eg Apple password, 104 bits HEX etc).
just wondering if anyone has a DWL-122 and express station and got them working together with encryption enabled?
thanks
Connor

Problems either with the driver or interface provided by D-link, if the hex equivelent of the networks password has a 0 in it, for some reason the dlink software keeps deleting the 0 and therefor cannot connect to the network.

Dell notebook with d-link DWL-650+ card can't connect to Airport

I bought a new iMac G5 (with the intel duo) and an Airport Extreme. Sweet. No problems with either one. My son has a dell notebook (running Windows ME) with a D-Link DWL-650+ wireless card in it. (its a b card). I can see my airport network from this dell, but when I try to connect, it does nothing. The airport is configured for both b and g and this same Dell can connect to my neighbors wireless network just fine. My neighbor has a d-link b/g wireless router. Just wondering what the heck the problem could be. My neighbors laptop with built-in g can connect to my Airport fine. Is it because its an old b card or somthing? Any ideas?
Thanks! Shako

Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.

Setting up D-Link DWL-G710 wireless extender

We have some wireless blackspots in our house so I'm trying to set up a wireless range extender. I bought the D-Link DWL-G710 which I imagined would work with my D-Link wireless router (DI624). I can get the computer to talk to the DWL-G710 and run through the set-up wizard but then - nothing. As soon as I remove the ethernet cable the DWL-G710 WLAN light goes out. I have been searching the internet to no avail - all I can glean is that this is an incredibly problematic device. Any help gratefully received. I know it has something to do with assigning static IP addresses but I'm missing some steps.
Thanks!

Don’t know if it will help but read this review: http://www.mandladventures.com/2006/09/21/d-link-dwl-g710-wireless-range-extende r-review/

D-Link DBT-122, problem with Apple fimware updater

Few days ago,I bought a D-Link DBT-122 usb bluetooth adapter (the new model of dbt-120 and the "only" actual model of the D-Link) to connect my BT headset JABRA with my mac-mini, but even if the OS system find the usb BT adapter, it not permit the pairing with headset (error message: this hw not support...".
I tried to use the firmware update, as suggested from other post and as suggested in the apple support webpage, but I receive an other error message about an hardware not suppoted..." and not permit the firmware update.
It is strange since all D-Link products derived from DBT-120 are supported from firmware updater (you can read in the apple webpage support about bluetooth firmware updater: "...The Bluetooth Firmware Updater is for D-Link USB Adapters (revision B2 or later), and Apple internal Bluetooth modules on PowerBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, iBooks, and eMacs. ..."
Please help me !

You need the D-Link DBT-120. Search this forum for the D-Link DBT-122. It has Broadcom Bluetooth chipset instead of the CSR BlueCore chipset which is required by the Apple Bluetooth Firmware Updater.
The D-Link DBT-122 is not a newer D-Link DBT-120. It is a different product. There are some Bluetooth 2.0+EDR adapters which should work out of the box – but I have no brand name or model sold worldwide, yet.

Solution to aluminum wireless keyboard with D-Link DBT-122 on Win XP

On several forums I found a lot of people haveing the same problem I had; the D-Link DBT-122 drivers would ask to enter the pairing key but showed a greyed box so we don't know what numbers to enter. I tried all the tips like changing settings in the registry, changing the drivers, using Microsoft drivers, etc. but nothing worked.
What did work:
I paired the keyboard with a computer with a different Bluetooth adapter (in this case an Mac running WinXP). I selected to let the driver choose a key for me, wrote it down, enter the key on the keyboard and it paired successfully. I turned off the keyboard (hold the power button about 10 seconds) and removed it from the bluetooth devices on this computer.
Now on the computer with the D-Link DBT-122 adapter; I plugged a standard USB keyboard, started the pairing process, turned on the Wireless keyboard, and entered the pairing key using the USB keyboard to enter the numbers (must be fast; was not fast enough on the first try) and at the end pressing Enter on the wireless keyboard.
I then used the Microsoft utility "remapkey.exe" from the "Microsoft Windows Resource Kit Tools" to put the Delete key on the right command button so I would be able to log in using Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Voil

I tried to do what you described in this post but it does NOT work. I have a D-Link DBT-122 and Win XP running on a PC and the wireless keyboard.
I type the code in the grey field with an USB keyboard and then I do the same with the wireless one and press "Enter" but it does NOT work.
Did you miss a step in your description?

D-Link DBT-122 & Wireless Keyboard & Mouse?

Hey all
I have just got a D-link DBT-122 bluetooth adapter, but everyime I connect my mouse it turns off my keyboard! argh
Can this dongle only support 1 device?
let me know some onces that can handle more if that is the case
Thanks in advance
Cube

I found what I was looking for, hopefully this will help you, do at your own risk A search on google will bring you straight to Apple's Bluetooth Updater 1.2.1 software...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2845886&#2845886
I mounted the image and copied "BTFWUpdate1.2.1.pkg" from it to the desktop. After that control-click the file and select "Show package contents". A new window opens with a single directory named "Contents". Inside that directory look for a file named "Archive.pax.gz" and move it to the desktop. Double-Click the file on the desktop. If all goes well it should create an "Applications"-Folder with the Bluetooth Firmware Updater-Utility inside it. Now you finally have a working 1.2.1-Updater. You can copy it to your utilities-Folder, but you don't have to, it works from everywhere.

D-link DWL- G122 (v C1) troubleshooting help needed

I am really trying to sort out my wireless connection (on my G4 Powerbook Titanium) via a d-link DWL- G122 ( version C1). It used to work OK. Now it doesn't. This could be due to: upgrading to 10.4.8 from 10.3.9? (can't really remember if the connection dropped from that time) Neighbour setting up a wireless router? (but I've tried switching channels).
Now, I'm using the RA driver, which is 10.4 compatible. I've also downloaded and tried the d-link 10.4 driver for this model (via the Canadian site). I've tried both, and both 'sometimes' work and sometimes don't.
The frustrating thing is that if I ever get a connection which stays with me, it's 100% good and solid as a rock. When it's like this I've walked all over the house with the powerbook and it works in every room. So I KNOW it can be great.
Usually though, there is no signal detected. Or it detects a signal, but when I highlight it and press connect the signal disappears. Or it will connect for 20 seconds and then the signal disappears. But like I say, on the rare occassion it detects a signal, lets me connect and stays connected it will be solid as a rock. Even if the tibook goes to sleep and wakes up. But if I do a restart I will be back to square one, no signal, maybe a signal... even if the dongle and computer has not moved at all.
Now, I'm thinking it could have something to do with Network prefs. If I go to Prefs/Network and select automatic for location, and 'show Network status' I get an amber light in the box below, next to Ethernet Adaptor (en1) (which I think is the dongle). Next to this it says:
Ethernet adaptor (en1) is currently active. Ethernet adaptor (en1) has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet.
Is that a clue?
If I select Location - Automatic, and Show: Ethernet Adaptor (en 1) I get a box with TCP/IP/PPPoE/Apple Talk/Proxies/Ethernet across the top. In the TCP/IP section there is 'configure IPv4: using DHCP' but there is no IP address and nothing else in any of the boxes you are able to add things.
Should it have an IP address in there? If it should how can I add one? If anyone can help you will have to explain things in a clear and straightforward manner as I know nothing about Network settings. If you've got this far THANKS FOR READING, and if you are going to try to help me then YOU ARE A GOD!(or Goddess of course)
I'd love to sort this, I know I could just throw in the towel and buy a 3rd prty cardbus thingy, or even an airport card (if I can get one!) but I love a challenge. Been experimenting on this for two days now, just trying to find a common thing as to why it sometimes connects but mostly doesn't and I'm stumped. Grrrrrr.... I only bought this d-link because December Mac World said it was a plug and play wireless dongle, and being a novice I trusted them.
By the way, my router is a Netgear DG834G v2.

Me again. I've fiddled with this thing so much I've lost track of exactly what I've done and undone. But this much is true: Currently running on the ralink driver. In Network Port Configurations I deselected all except Ethernet Adaptor (en1) which I also dragged to the top (this seemed to help - thanks BDAqua!). And I have to unplug on restart and only plug in again when I see the desktop (including dock) - this I learnt from another forum. Then I get a signal in wireless utility, which connects straight away and stays rock solid.
But I've found a few interesting things. It seems to be a problem with the stick finding the right IP address.
When I've got my rock solid connection and I check my Prefs/Network/Automatic/Network Status it shows a green light and tells me the Ethernet Adaptor (en 1) (which is the d-link stick) is currently active and has the IP address of xxx.xxx.x.x. And I am connected to the Internet via Ethernet Adaptor (en 1).
If I restart and don't unplug/plug in the stick the Wireless Utility can't find a signal. If I then check the Prefs/Network/Automatic/Network Status it shows an amber light and tells me the Ethernet Adaptor (en 1) (which is the d-link stick) is currently active But it has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet. When I check the self-assigned IP address it's completely different from one above.
Now, that got me thinking that I could manually put in the address, which I tried (still in Automatic). Pressed Apply Now. But still couldn't get a signal in the wireless utility box. I rechecked Prefs/Network/Automatic/Network Status and it tells me I am connected! But when I try to open a page in a browser the browser tells me I'm not.
So then I tried to make a New Location - thinking that I could just switch to that instead of having to restart/unplug/plug. Added all info manually (which I'd copied when I had a good connection in Automatic) - so to all intents and purposes it was exactly the same as the Automatic/Ethernet adaptor (en 1) setting. But the result was the same as para above- no signal in wireless utility box, but it thinks it's connected.
I'm no expert but that doesn't make sense to me.
If anyone can add any info that would be good. Just trying to solve this plugging/unplugging business. But at least it's working via the tedious unplugging/plugging technique.

Airport Extreme & D-Link DWL G520

Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme base station, and it works fine with my Mac & HP Laptop, but I cannot get my Desktop PC connected w/ D-Link DWL G520 Wireless Adpater. It just sits there saying it's "Acquiring Network Address".
The base station is currently set to;
Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11a compatible)
Channel: Automatic
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The base station is currently set to;
Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11a compatible)
Channel: Automatic
Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
Your D-Link PCI card is a 802.11b/g device. You will need to change the radio mode on the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) to 802.11n (b/g compatible), 802.11b/g compatible, 802.11g only or 802.11b only in order for this card to connect.

Trouble With DWL-122

Well, I have an old iBook (G3, running something like 10.2), that has been having problems since I got a new wireless adapter a couple of years ago. This adapter, the DWL-122, is supposed to work with 10.2, but I've been having lots of problems with it. When I started plugging it in, it worked fine. However, the computer started going haywire, with or without the adapter. Every 2 minutes, it would announce that I needed to restart my iBook. Now, I found the new drivers to the DWL-122, but I decided just to completely uninstall all of the drivers, anyway. So now, my iBook's display is having trouble. It produces weird bars, and sometimes, when I move it around, it just sort of dies. I have no clue what is happening!

Hi, Ivan. <IMG src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c55/rondaleroi/welcome.gif"</SUB> to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you may be having logic board problems. Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
If you are past the three-year time limit, try calling and asking for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
Good luck!

Wallstreet + D-Link DWL-G630

Awhile back I was playing with linux on my Wallstreet and I got a D-Link DWL-G630 Wifi card to play with Wifi on it and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make it work in Mac OSX 10.3.9. Its a Atheros based card and I have already tried OrangeWare with no luck, if anyone could help me get this card working it would be much appreciated

scsi man,
I see the card is not listed as supported, but as they note other Atheros-based cards may still work.
Since you are running 10.3.9 and may have updated to 10.3.9 via the standalone installer, have you run Software Update? There are two AirPort files that are available from S.U. that correct a problem with WiFi PC cards that first developed in 10.3.7 and/or 10.3.8. It may still not solve your problem but at least you will be up-to-date.

POST failure D-Link DWL-520+ Wireless

Problem after adding D-link DWL-520+ wireless card. MSI 6195 Slot A BIOS A6195KMS V1.3, AThlon, WIN98SE with latest updates.
Fails in post 0101 VGA. But is not entirely consistent.
Removed all cards except ATI RAGE II problem persists but can boot 10% of time.
Removed DWL-520+ and booted to alter memory range of ATI card. Can now boot reliably and have wireless card working. However system remains a little unstable with random lookouts.
Second DWL-520+ gives same symptoms.
Any suggestions please?

In fact D-link came up with the later driver (which incidently is freely available at http://www.dlink.com.tw). So I made just one more attempt.
In between times I also tried this card in an ABit machine and it liked it even less!
So on about the 17th boot of the MSI6195 Win98 loaded and then after a while it locked up. This process corrupted the Windows registry so badly that SCANREG was unable to recover the situation.
I am therefore returning my D-link 22Mbps PCI card and have instead deployed a Linksys USB adapter. This interworks quite well with the remaining D-link PCMIA card and router. Obviously this will be at 11Mbps instead of the planned 22Mpbs. But that seems to be the price of reliability!
I can recommend the Linksys USB unit. It's compact, USB powered and has one little wrinkle if anyone is interested.
Thanks for your help.

D-Link DWL-650+ and ndiswrapper

Hello everyone
So after days and days of researching and fiddling around and still no wireless, I figured it's about time I should simply ask and see if I can get it to work.
Let me start with short summary of my dilenma:
The computer I have is a Dell Inspiron 8200 with P4M 2.2Mhz CPU, 756MB RAM, nVidia GeForce4 440 Go with 64MB RAM, 40G HD laptop, dual-booting with WinXP (wireless works on XP, and I need this connection for studies and research. Windows resides on my HD only because of that). I use a D-Link DWL-650+ AirPlus card (yes, not so Linux friendly card, I know ), works perfectly fine on Windows, and ndiswrapper installs the driver and hardware is detected on Arch. Installation, modprobe have been already done, and iwconfig tells me
lo no wireless extensions.
sit0 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.

The key, mode and security mode were put in by me, ESSID, AP and others were picked up by the card. So the card is scanning and picks up the signal. iwlist wlan0 scan shows:
[root@Brahms ndiswrapper-0.10]# iwlist wlan0 scan

All is good so far, so I do "ifconfig wlan0 up" and this shows up:

Looks okay. So I kill the eth0 connection, and try to ping, I get:
[root@Brahms ndiswrapper-0.10]# ping www.apple.com
ping: unknown host www.apple.com
Okay...So I suppose even though the card picks up the signal, it's not connected, right? /etc/rc.d/network start (or restart for that matter) comes up "fail". I am lost at this point. Probably some configuration error somewhere but I don't know much about networking and I've been trying different things, check the web for clue, but so far nothing worked. While trying to connect through wireless, no firewall was used.
If someone could point me to the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Not all things iwconfig and ifconfig make sense to me really. At one point, I got so discouraged, I was contemplating on installing Mandrake again (I'm still a newbie though. I used Mandrake 10 Official for a couple of weeks back in June, and then moved to Arch, getting my hands dirty. It has been a wonderful experience for me so far )
Before it gets too long, I would like to thank you in advance
polarrr
p.s. What are those TX/RX Packets errors?! I suppose...errors, eh?

I'm very sorry for the late reply! First of all, thank you so much for the pointers.
Just today, I finally got it to work. I have been busy and I was actually away from computer for a couple of weeks, finally got around to get some going. I've copied and pasted the default gw, inet addr and so on from my Windows wireless configuration program, and talaan! It worked
Thank you so much.

D-Link DBT-122 USB Bluetooth Adapter - how to make it support 2 devices?

For Macs not originally equipped with Bluetooth hardware Apple used to recommend purchasing D-Link's DBT-120 (rev. B or later). If I understand correctly, after pluggin-in the device it was necessary to run Apple's Bluetooth Firmware update 1.3.3 to get it working.
The DBT-120 device may still be available for purchase in some parts of the world but in Europe D-Link is now selling the replacement DBT-122 (no revision is indicated). The device is advertised as being 'Mac-compatible (check, for instance, http://www.dlink.co.uk/?go=gNTyP9CgrdFOIC4AStFCF834mptYKO9ZTdvhLPG3yV3oVIF+h6ltb NlwaaFp6DQoHDrqyyRF/okIB9vv ).
My problem is after having plugged-in my brand new DBT-122 onto an USB port of my 'old' G4 eMac, I can get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse working, or my Bluetooth Apple Keyboard working, BUT NOT BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. When I have them both connected, disconnections occur all the time (either the mouse or the keyboard, apparently at random).
Tried to run Bluetooth Updater 1.3.3 but the thing tells me that there is no Bluetooth device to update. I suppose it is loooking for a DBT-120 and I have a DBT-122.
Anyone with a suggestion on anything I should try to have both my mouse and keyboard working via my new bluetooth adpater?
(No use to contact D-Link support, they don't know anything about Macs and the only thing they have been instructed to respond is 'its an Apple problem'. And they charge you for that - the hotline is expensive!)
Cheers

Hi,
i'm having the same problem. The Apple Store recommends purchasing the D-Link DBT-120, but doesn't actually sell it since it has been superceded by the DBT-122 in Europe. Apple should know this. While D-Link market the DBT-122 as the replacement for the DBT-120 that is also compatible with Macs, from what i have been able to find out the 120 and the 122 use different chipsets and OSX cannot recognize all the features of the DBT-122's firmware. That is also why OSX's firmware updater software doesn't work with the DBT-122.
Like you, i can get the DBT-122 to work with either the keyboard or mouse but not both at the same time.
In any case even if you got both the keyboard and mouse working wirelessly there would be no way of waking the computer from sleep since the 'allow bluetooth device to wake computer from sleep' option is greyed out - this is only available if the firmware is supported. Presumably Apple will have to release software to support the DBT-122, if the earlier model is no longer in production. I think both Apple and D-Link are at fault here.
