1.Adapter Installation Problems

If your computer cannot find the IOGEAR® Wireless-G Notebook Network Card 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapter or the network driver is not installed correctly, check the followings,

•Make sure the adapter is securely inserted in the Cardbus slot. When you insert the wireless PC card into the notebook’s slot, a click should be heard if the PC card is properly inserted. Check for any hardware problems, such as physical damage to the card connector.

•Try the card in another CardBus slot. If this also fails, test your computer with another wireless LAN Cardbus that is known to operate correctly.

If you feel hard to connect or transfer data to 802.11b device, please click Start->Setting- >Control Panel->System->Hardware Tab->Device Manager->Network Adapter->WLAN Network Adapter->Properties->Advanced Tab to enter the configuration page. Find the IBSS 54g (tm) Protection Mode field and replace the default value off with Auto.

You also can change the default value of Locale field to comply with the local laws.
