“Enable” in Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.

A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered in both the AP and the computer.

The network key is an encryption key for encrypting data transmitted between the

AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.

Check the AP Settings

For the AP settings, refer to the User’s Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.

A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN.

The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN.

Install the AP in a high and open space 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal sources.

A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.

When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP and after a short while turn it on again.

Verify whether the AP’s firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firmware.)

A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network.

Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer.



A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key).

When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.

A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environment.)

When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel setting for each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur between electronic waves. Set the APs’ channels further apart from each other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)

When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to “Hide”, you cannot search for that AP on the computer. We recommend canceling the “Hide” option for an AP. The SSID is a name for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN.

It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs but may cause compatibility problems.

It is recommended using a static IP.

Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is recommended setting a static channel.

Q5 In the Windows XP ‘Available wireless networks’ window, the

Wireless Network Connection is displayed as ‘Not Available’.

A1 Check if the wireless LAN is turned on.

A2 Check if there is additional program for a wireless LAN connection installed.

Windows XP supports wireless LAN connections through the Wireless Zero

Configuration (WZC) service. Therefore, an additional program for wireless LAN connection is not required, unless the network requires a specific program.

However, installation of some wireless LAN related programs may sometimes disable the [View Available Wireless Networks] window supported by WZC service. Exit the wireless LAN related program then check whether the window is enabled.

A3 Initialize the device driver.

Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance >

System > Hardware tab > Device Manager > Network adapters , and select the wireless LAN adapter. Right-click the network adaptor and select

'Disable' from the popup menu. Then right-click over the network adaptor and select 'Enable' after a short wait to check that the device is operating properly.

This may happen when a third-party wireless network setup program (e.g.

PROSet) other than Windows XP default program is installed. For setting up a wireless network using the Windows XP program, this option should be selected.

Q6 When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network,

I cannot connect to another computer connected to the same computer-to-computer network.

A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is correct.

A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All of the computers to be connected through a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.

If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically configured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3 minutes.

If the IP address is configured to static IP in TCP/IP properties, select Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter, configure IP address:10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and Subnet mask:

255.255.255.0, and then try again.

A fixed IP is recommended for a small-size network.

Q7 When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot search the access point.

A It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad

Hoc) network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click Refresh to view the latest search result.

Q8 Running Help file while running Profile Wizard in the wireless
