“No Networks Found” shows after scanning for wireless net-
works:
1. Sometimes your wireless network will not show on the first scan.
Try scanning for networks again on your radio.
2. Check the LED lights on the front of your wireless router. Be sure
that the “power” and “wireless” LED lights are on. If they are not
on, you may need to call the manufacturer of the router for more
assistance.
3. Your radio may be out of range of your wireless network. Place
the radio closer to your router as a test, then scan for wireless
networks again. The CC WiFi Radio may not have the same WiFi
range as a new WiFi enabled laptop.
4. There is a setting on your WiFi router called “Enable SSID
Broadcast”. This must be enabled. You may need to call the
manufacturer of the router for more assistance.
About Your WEP or WPA Encryption Key: This is also called a
“Wireless Network Password” and is used to keep unwanted “guests”
from using your wireless network. If you are unaware of what your
password is, you can follow our suggested steps for finding it:
1. Search your records for a document that was printed out after the
setup of your router. This document should contain the WEP Key
or WPA Passphrase. If your router was setup by someone else,
they should have provided you with a document that contained the
needed information.
2. If you are using a wireless router that was provided by your Inter -
net Service Provider, the WEP or WPA key will sometimes be
About Your Network Name (SSID): This is the name which was
assigned to your wireless router by the person who set it up. After
scanning for your wireless network, rotate the dial through all of the
results because you may recognize your network name (SSID). If your
router’s manufacture name is displayed, try selecting it (e.g., “Linksys”
or “Netgear”). If your wireless network has not been renamed from the
default factory name, then it most likely does not require a wireless
encryption key (WEP or WPA) password to connect.
