Troubleshooting

Q1: I inserted the Utility & Driver CD-ROM into my computer's CD-ROM Drive and the

installation menu does not appear automatically. What should I do?

A1: If the installation menu does not appear automatically, click Start, click Run, and type D:\Autorun.exe where "D" in "D:\Autorun.exe" is the letter assigned to your computer's CD- ROM Drive. And then click OK to start the installation.

Q2: I completed all the steps in the Quick Installation Guide, but my Wireless USB Adapter

isn't connecting to my access point. What should I do?

A2: First, verify that the Network Name (SSID) matches your wireless router or wireless access point's SSID. Second, you should check your TCP/IP properties to ensure that Obtain an IP address automatically is selected. Third, you can click on the Site Survey tab of the Wireless Client Utility to check and see if there are any available wireless networks listed.
