Troubleshooting

2.I cannot connect to the access point or the wireless router.

•Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-520+ PCI adapter is exactly the same as the SSID on the Access Point or wireless router.

•Move the DWL-650+ and the Access Point or the Wireless Router into the same room and then test the wireless connection.

•Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control, AES)

•Make sure that the AP/wireless router is not locked down to a different frequency.

•Turn off your Access Point and the computer with the DWL-520+. Turn on the Access Point, and then turn on the computer with the DWL-520+.

•Refresh the DWL-520+ AirPlus Utility.

3.The DWL-520+ Power and Link lights are not on.

•Check to see if the DWL-520+ PCI adapter is firmly inserted into a PCI slot.

4.I forgot my Encryption key.

•Reset the Access Point to its factory default settings and restore the DWL-520+ Wireless PCI Adapter to the factory default settings. (The default settings are listed in Ch.5: Using the Configuration Utility in this manual.)

5.The computer does not recognize the DWL-520+ Wireless Adapter.

•Make sure that the DWL-520+ Wireless Adapter is properly seated in the computer’s PCI slot.
