Tip

If you cannot find a solution from the above, go to [Help and

Support] from the OPTIONS menu in the Reader Store (

3

).

Wi-Fi connection

The Reader will not connect to a Wi-Fi network.

 Check that the WIRELESS switch is set to “ON” and [Wi-Fi]

is set to [On] in the [Wireless Controls] setting (

126

).

 Refresh to a Wi-Fi network manually (

127

).

 Check if extra settings are required to connect to the Wi-

Fi network, such as encryption key (WEP/WPA), fixed IP

address, or proxy setting (

133

).

 The access point uses 152-bit encryption key. WEP of the

Reader does not support 152-bit encryption key.

 WEP key automatic recognition may not be correct.

Select the encryption method type of the access point

manually (

131

).

 The access point you want to use is set to make its SSID

invisible to users. In this case, the access point may not

be shown on the Wi-Fi network access point list. Enter the

SSID manually (

132

).

 When using the [Browser] application, some public Wi-Fi

access points require you to enter a user ID and password

by using the Internet browser. Check the public Wi-Fi

service you intend to connect to.

 The access point of the Wi-Fi network may be using a

security protection system not supported by the Reader.

Consult with the administrator of your network.

 The access point may filter access by MAC address. Check

the MAC address in the [About] screen of the [Settings]

menu (

119

), then register the MAC address with the

access point to connect to the Wi-Fi.
