Network Problems

Wireless Connections

If the wireless network connection is lost — The wireless router is offline or wireless has been disabled on the computer.

Check your wireless router to ensure it is powered on and connected to your data source (cable modem or network hub).

Ensure that wireless is enabled on your computer (see “Enable or Disable Wireless” on page 14).

Re-establish your connection to the wireless router (see “Setting Up a Wireless Connection” on page 17).

Interference may be blocking or interrupting your wireless connection. Try moving the computer closer to your wireless router.
