The name of your wireless network

DOES NOT appear in AP List

If the correct network name is not listed under AP List in the wireless utility, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:

1.If possible, temporarily move the computer five to ten feet away from router. Close the wireless utility, and re-open it. If the correct network name now appears under “Available Networks”, you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the suggestions listed in the section of this manual titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware” page 2.

2.Using a computer that is connected to the Wireless Router (or Access Point) via a network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the “Channel and SSID” configuration page. For detailed instructions on accessing this page and changing settings, please see your Wireless Router or Access Point User Guide.
