Problem:

My wireless PC cannot connect to the Router

solution:

Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID settings as the

Router, and you have the same security settings on the clients

such as WPA or WEP encryption

Make sure the distance between the Router and wireless PC are

not too far away

Problem:

The wireless network is often interrupted

solution:

Move your wireless PC closer to the Router to find a better signal

There may also be interference, possibly caused by a microwave

oven or 24GHz cordless phones Change the location of the

Router or use a different wireless channel

Problem:

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly

solution:

If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,

please check the following items:

Look at the lights on your Router If you’re using a Belkin Router,

the lights should be as follows:

• The “Power” light should be on.

• The “Connected” light should be on, and not blinking.

• The “WAN” light should be either on or blinking.

Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the

system tray at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen If you’re

using a Belkin Wireless Card, the tray icon should look like this (the

icon may be red or green):

The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of

wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have

a list of “Available Networks”—those wireless networks it can

connect to
