Step 3 You should now be connected. You should see “Connected” in the top, right hand corner, and there will be a blue circle around the antenna icon next to the network name.
Troubleshooting: If you are experiencing problems with the connection (unable to connect, low signal strength, slow connection speed, not working, unstable wireless connection) you will want to tune your router’s signal by changing channels on the router.
You do not need to change the channel on the card, it will automatically pick up the new channel after you reboot. The only channel that you need to change is the router’s channel.
Your router has 11 different channels to choose from. Start with channel 1 and work your way up. Each time you change the channel on the router, make sure that you restart the wireless computer before trying to connect again. Keep going through the channels until you find one that gives you a stable connection.
For instructions on changing channels, refer to the documentation that came with your router.
