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.

block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
