Solution

Other wireless devices

• Check the Wireless icon (4 stacked bars) in the System Tray

cannot connect to the router

at the bottom right corner of your screen. If there is an “X”

 

over the icon, see “No Access to Router” on previous page. If

 

the icon is white, try the following steps:

 

Double-click on the Wireless icon. Click on the Site Survey

 

tab. Click the Refresh button. Select a router or access point,

 

then click Connect.

 

• If you still have no connection, click on the Wizard tab. Verify

 

that settings for SSID, Channel, and WEP (if enabled) are

 

identical for the router and the wireless adapter.

 

• If you still have no connection, click on the Configuration

 

tab. Verify that settings for SSID and Channel are identical for

 

the router and the wireless adapter.

 

• Make sure the router and adapter are close enough to

 

connect (150-300 feet without obstructions).

 

• Check the DHCP table to see if the adapter is listed (see

 

page 21).

 

• Ping adapter addresses in the DCHP table (see page 37).

 

• If these remedies do not work, reinstall the adapter software

 

from the original CD-ROM.
