2. My wireless client cannot access the Internet. What should I do?

Note: Establish WiFi Connection. If you selected either WEP or WPA-PSKencryption, ensure encryption settings match your WiFi settings. WiFi and encryption settings must match to ensure Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router Configuration Menu, and Internet access. Please refer to your WiFi adapter documentation for additional information.

Ensure that the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access Point.

To check this connection, follow the steps below:

1.Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar.

2.Select View Available Wireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen appears. Ensure you have selected the correct available network.

Ensure the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP Address range as the Access Point and gateway. The Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Wireless adapters must have an IP Address in the same range (e.g., 192.168.0.x). Although the subnet mask must be the same for all the computers on the network, no two devices may have the same IP Address. Therefore, each device must have a unique IP Address.

To check the IP Address assigned to the wireless adapter, follow the steps below:

1.Double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar.

2.Select the Support tab. The IP Address will be displayed.

4.Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?

•Antenna Orientation. Try different antenna orientations for the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other objects.

Try changing the channel on the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, and your Access Point and Wireless adapter to a different channel to avoid interference.

•Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors, electric motors, etc.

5.I am unable to achieve a wireless connection. Why?

Note: An Ethernet connection is required to troubleshoot the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router.

If you have enabled Encryption on the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, you must also enable encryption on all wireless clients in order to establish a wireless connection.

•For 802.11g, the encryption settings are: 64 or 128 bit. Ensure that the encryption bit level is the same for both the Kyocera KR1 Mobile Router, and your Wireless Client.
