I cannot access the Internet via the WPA-1000.

1 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See

the Quick Start Guide and

Section 2.1 on page 25

.

2 If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure your wireless settings are

the same as the settings in the AP through which you are trying to access the Internet.

3 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and reconnect them following the directions

in the Quick Start Guide.

4 Make sure that Gatekeeper is not set to All Block or Internet Only if you are

connecting to the WPA-1000 via a switch - see

Section 4.6.3 on page 44

.

5 If the problem continues, contact your ISP.

I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the
WPA-1000), but my Internet connection is not available anymore.

1 Check the WPA-1000’s hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as

expected. See the Quick Start Guide and

Section 2.1 on page 25

.

The Internet connection is slow or intermittent.

1 There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Try closing some programs that use the

Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications.

2 Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the WPA-1000 closer

to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be
interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless
networks, and so on).

3 Reboot the WPA-1000.
4 If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor.
