Did you download and read the manual?

Did you perform a hard reset to factory defaults?

Those are actually quite good radios for 802.11b only. They lack the features and acronyms of more modern radios, but are still quite useful. It will act as either a wireless access point or a wireless client adapter. Some models can act as a repeater. You will need to disclose the hardware revision from the serial number to deterine the features available. Also, the early models (A1 and B1) required a USB cable to program and configure. There is also a huge difference between the DWL-900AP and the DWL-900AP+.

The docs are there for all versions from A thru C.

I haven't checked the Dlink Italy site (because I can't read Italian).

Try resetting the router with the reset button. Someone may have changed it.

You will need a crossover cable if you're connecting directly to a PC. Check the lights on BOTH the computah and the router to see if the polarity is correct. I don't want to go furthur without you supplying additional information as to the exact model number as they're quite different from each other.

These might also be of interest:

Thank you all for your help, I downloaded the manual, made other tests, I think that the device doesn't work anymore... Neither after a hard reset to factory settings, and a direct connection (with a crossover cable) to 2 different PCs I could see the device at the address 192.168.0.50.

Thanks all, Cdb
