tab. Click the Refresh button. Select a router or access point,

 

then click Connect.

 

• If you still have no connection, click on the Wizard tab. Verify

 

that settings for SSID, Channel, and WEP (if enabled) are

 

identical for the router and the wireless adapter.

 

• If you still have no connection, click on the Configuration

 

tab. Verify that settings for SSID and Channel are identical for

 

the router and the wireless adapter.

 

• Make sure the router and adapter are close enough to

 

connect (150-300 feet without obstructions).

 

• Check the DHCP table to see if the adapter is listed (see

 

page 21).

 

• Ping adapter addresses in the DCHP table (see page 37).

 

• If these remedies do not work, reinstall the adapter software

 

from the original CD-ROM.
