∙Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly. You may open the Device Manager in Windows to see if the adapter is properly installed.

∙Make sure the wireless client uses the same SSID and security settings (if enabled) as the Wireless Broadband Router.

∙Ensure that the wireless adapter’ s TCP/IP settings are correct as required by your network administrator.

∙If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, check that the

54gTM Mode item, in Wireless LAN (2.4G) page, is not configured to use 54g Performace.

∙Use the ping command to verify that the wireless client is able to communicate with the router’ s LAN port and with the remote computer. If the wireless client can successfully ping the router’ s LAN port but fails to ping the remote computer, then verify the TCP/IP settings of the remote computer.
