link led is blinking slowly; I cannot connect

to a wireless network or the Internet .

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 .

link led is solid but I cannot connect to the Internet .

If you have a signal but can’t get online or obtain an IP address, the

problem may be that there is a mismatch between the encryption

key settings in your computer and wireless router (or access point) .

Check the WEP, WPA, or WPA2 key settings to see if they match .

The key is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer and

wireless router (or access point) must be exactly the same in order

for the Adapter to connect to the router . For more information about

encryption, see the “Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi Network” section .

If issues persist even at close range, please

contact Belkin Technical Support .
