Problem:

Installation CD-ROM does not start Belkin Wireless Networking Utility .

Solution:

If the CD-ROM does not start the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility

automatically, it could be that the computer is running other applications

that are interfering with the CD drive . If the Belkin Wireless Networking

Utility screen does not appear within 15-20 seconds, open up your

CD-ROM drive by double-clicking on the “My Computer” icon . Next,

double-click on the CD-ROM drive in which the Installation CD has

been placed to start the installation . If the installation does not start

automatically, right-click to select “Explore”, then double-click on the

icon named “setup .exe” .

Problem:

Power LED does not come ON; Adapter is not working .

Solution:

If the LED indicators are not ON, the problem may be that the Adapter

is not connected or installed properly . Verify that the Adapter is plugged

firmly into the USB port of your computer . Check to see that the drivers

for the Adapter have been installed . Right-click on the “My Computer”

icon on your desktop . Choose “Properties” and navigate to the “Device

Manager” and see if your USB Network Adapter is listed without any

errors . If an error is indicated, contact Belkin Technical Support .

Problem:

Link LED is blinking slowly; I cannot connect to a wireless network or

the Internet .

Solution:

If your Adapter appears to be functioning properly, but you cannot

connect to a network or you have a red wireless icon at the bottom of

your screen, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the

network name (SSID) settings in your wireless network properties .

Check the SSID settings to see if they match . The SSID is case-sensitive

and the spelling on each computer must be exactly the same in order for

the Adapter to connect to the wireless router (or access point) .

note: To check the SSID settings or look for an available network,

double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless

Networks” screen . Click “Add” if you do not see the network you are

trying to connect to and type in the SSID .

For more information about setting up an SSID, please reference your

router manufacturer’s user manual . If issues persist even at close range,

please contact Belkin Technical Support .
