If Your Macintosh Has a Non-AirPort Wireless Adapter

Make sure your Macintosh computer’s wireless mode is set correctly. Set it to Infrastructure if you are connecting through an access point, or 802.11b Ad Hoc if you are connecting without an access point.

If your adapter does not include an 802.11b Ad Hoc option, set the wireless mode to Ad Hoc, Computer-to-Computer, or the mode your adapter uses to communicate without an access point. Do not select a pseudo ad hoc or proprietary ad hoc mode. See the documentation for your wireless adapter for details.

If you’re using infrastructure mode, make sure there is a link with good signal strength (greater than 50 percent) between the Macintosh and base station or access point. See your wireless adapter’s documentation for details.
