B.2.2 Cannot Connect To The Network

If your USB Client seems to be working fine, but you are not able to connect to the network, this error might be due to a configuration mismatch. For example if both LEDs of your USB Client blink once every ten seconds, the problem is likely to be caused by a configuration mismatch of:

Network Name

Encryption Key

The AirStation Network Name is case-sensitive. Other causes may be:

No driver loaded

Station not authorized to access network

USB Client defect
