uninstall the drivers, restart the system, and repeat the driver installation procedure.

4.The computer with the wireless adapter installed is unable to connect to the wireless network.

•In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points. The SSID factory default setting for the D-Link AirPro products is Default. (Please refer to Checking the Wireless Configuration in the Networking Basics section of this manual for more information.)

•In Ad-Hocmode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to it. (Please see the Status Tab in Linkmon in the Configuration Utilities section or see Checking the Wireless Configuration in the Networking Basics section of this manual to learn more about BSS-Basic Service Set.)

•Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly. Select AP (Infrastructure) when connecting to an access point and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting without an access point. Double-clickon the network connection icon in the taskbar > click on Properties > click on Configure > select the Settings Tab > click on Modify to change the settings for the wireless adapter. (Please refer to Checking the Wireless Configuration in the Networking Basics section of this manual for more information.)

•Verify that the Turbo Mode setting is exactly the same for wireless clients and the access point. Please note that the wireless connection will not be established in Infrastructure or Ad-Hocmode if Turbo Mode is enabled on one end of the wireless connection and not the other. (Please refer to Checking the Wireless Configuration in the Networking Basics section of this manual for more information.)

•If Enable Security is selected, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the wireless clients and the access points.
