The connection is
not set up at all or
not properly

If you cannot set up a connection between your PC with the
Gigaset USB Adapter 54 and another wireless network adapter,
this may be due to a number of causes:
The PC you want to connect to has not been powered up.

Power up the PC.

You are working in an ad-hoc network and a different radio
channel is being used.

Select the correct radio channel.

The wrong mode has been set (infrastructure or ad-hoc mode).

Select the correct mode.

The SSIDs of the devices that are to communicate with each
other are different.

Make sure that the same SSID is used for all connection
partners with network adapters for wireless operation.

Different encryption is being used.

Select the same encryption on all devices.

Changes in the configuration are not applied by your PC

Restart your PC.

The IP address or the subnet mask is wrongly configured.

Make sure that the IP address and the subnet mask are
correctly configured in the IP Settings tab.
As a rule, it is necessary to assign static IP addresses when
operating a network in ad-hoc mode.

It takes a long time
to set up a
connection

Depending on the environment and the devices, setting up a
connection may take a while.

In Site Monitor, click on Scan or double-click on the
network in question.
