Adaptec Ultra Wireless PCI Adapter User’s Guide

My Adaptec Wireless Utility icon is red. The Link LED on my Wireless PCI Adapter is not on.

Your Wireless PCI Adapter is not linked to the WLAN. You may be outside the range of available APs.

1Open the Adaptec Wireless Utility. See Step 1 on page 29.

2Click the Site Survey tab.

Available APs are listed. Click Search to find more APs, if required.

3Select an AP, then click Connect.

If a link is made, the Adaptec Wireless Utility icon turns green (see page 31) and the Link LED on your Wireless PCI Adapter lights up.

If no link is made, click the Link tab. If the Link Quality or Signal Strength values are lower than 25 percent, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to connect to that AP.

Click Re-Scanto search for other available APs and repeat Step 3 if possible.

You may need to reposition your computer so that your Wireless PCI Adapter is closer to an AP.

4Click OK to close the Adaptec Wireless Utility.
