Troubleshooting

Q1: I completed all the steps in the quick installation guide, but my card isn't connecting to my access point. What should I do?

A1:

You should first verify that the Network card’s SSID matches your wireless router or access point's SSID. If they already match, you should check your TCP/IP properties to ensure that

Obtain an IP address automatically is selected. Refer to your Windows User's Manual if you are unable to locate your TCP/IP properties.

Q2: Windows is unable to recognize my hardware. What should I do?

A2:

Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements as specified in

Section 1 of this quick installation guide. Also, you must install the wireless configuration utility (as described in Section 2) BEFORE you physically install your network card. Lastly, you may consider moving the card to a different PCI/PC Card

Slot.

Q3: I cannot open the wireless configuration utility. What should I do?

A3:

Go to your device manager (control panel system) to make sure the adapter is installed properly. If you see a networking device with a yellow question mark or exclamation point, you will need to reinstall the device and/or the drivers.

If you still encounter problems, please refer to the User's Guide CD-ROM or contact technical support.
