15.Troubleshooting

Problem

I have done all the steps described in Connect to PC guide to connect my WACS7000 to my home wireless network, but the Center and Station are still not connected to each other.

I see the message “Check the internet setup for CD Database on-line” even though I am sure that the WACS7000 is connected to my home wireless network with internet connection.

Solution

✔On the center, please go to Menu -> Information -> Wireless -> Status, check that the Center has been changed from Ad-Hoc to Infrastructure mode, also check that the SSID, WEP key or WPA key matches the setup of your wireless home network. Please do the same on the station.

✔Try to change the SSID on your router to a more unique name if it is too generic, as your neighbors might be using a router with the same SSID.

✔WACS7000 supports wireless and wired connection at the same time.There is a chance that your wireless IP address and wired IP address are on the same subnet and this will confuse WACS7000. Suggest to change the DHCP range of your wireless router so that the wireless IP received by WACS7000 is on a different subnet from its wired IP.

✔You may have forgotten to set up the wireless network settings on the station. If you have not done so, please follow C1 in Connect to PC Guide on how to set up the Station to join the network.

✔Try to change the channel of your home network settings in the router.

✔On your router, suggest to use WPA key instead of WEP key. When using WEP as your encryption key, please set all 4 keys to be the same.

✔Make sure that the Turbo mode of your wireless router is switched off, if your router is has this function.

✔Please go to Menu->Network->Internet to check if your DNS server is correctly set up. Also make sure that you have set up proxy server if your home wireless network needs a proxy server for internet connection.

✔There is a chance that you are already successfully connected to Gracenote online, but your CD is not in their database.
