      If you're unable to connect your D-Link DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter to the access point or wireless router, ensure the SSID on the adapter is exactly the same as the SSID on the access point or wireless router. Try moving the adapter and the access point or wireless router into the same room to test the wireless connection. Disable all security settings such as WEP, MAC address control, and AES. Ensure that the access point/router is not locked down to a different frequency. Try turning off your access point and the computer with the DWL-G520, then turn the access point back on, followed by the computer. You might also try refreshing the DWL-G520 Utility.
