Problem:

Link LED is solid but I cannot connect to the Internet..

Solution:

If you have a signal but can’t get online or obtain an IP address, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the encryption key settings in your computer and wireless router (or access point).. Check the WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key settings to see if they match.. The key is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer and wireless router (or access point) must be exactly the same in order for the Adapter to connect to the router.. For more information about encryption, please see “Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi Network” on page 22 of this User Manual..

If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support..

Problem:

Data transfer is sometimes slow..

Solution:

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases.. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances.. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet.. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther from the wireless router (or access point)..

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to 10 feet away from the wireless router (or access point).. Please see the section titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance” on page 2 of this User Manual.. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support..
