connect to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, make sure each Wireless

Card is set to Infrastructure mode. If the Wireless Cards are set to

802.11b AdHoc mode, you will not be able to connect to the Wireless

Cable/DSL Router. When each Wireless Card is set to Infrastructure

mode, it should automatically connect to the Access Point of the

Wireless Cable/DSL Router. If the Wireless Cards do not automatically

connect, rescan until they detect the Wireless Cable/DSL Router

and connect.

• If you create a wireless connection to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router,

but are experiencing poor link quality, check the positioning of the

Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Long distances, multiple floors, or steel or

concrete walls can diminish the link quality. If possible, reposition the

Wireless Cable/DSL Router to reduce the effect of any obstacles.

• If you have the Wireless Cable/DSL Router properly connected and

can access the Internet, but are experiencing difficulties connecting with special applications (e.g., ICQ, Battle.net, etc.), you must assign specific ports in order to bypass the firewall function. For more information about how to configure this function, refer to the "Special Applications" section within the “Configuring the Wireless Cable/DSL Router" chapter of the User Guide.
