If the connection to the chosen network fails in the Infrastructure mode, check your router's security settings (key, MAC address filtering etc.).
Note: The Infrastructure mode is a communication mode that consists in creating a network connecting several computers equipped with a WiFi feature via a wireless access point such as an Internet box, a modem/router or a router connected to a modem. The Infrastructure
mode is ideal for exchanging data or playing games over a network, but also for sharing an Internet connection and/or a printer between several computers.
The Ad hoc mode is a mode that enables several computers equipped with a WiFi feature to communicate directly with each other. This mode is also called "Peer to Peer".
A MAC address is a unique address created by the router's vendor; it serves to identify this device on a network. The MAC address is comprised of the organisation's (i.e. the vendor's) identifier, followed by the device's unique identifier.
To connect to a secure network (a key type appears in the Secure field):
- Select the relevant network.
- Click on Connect to the network.
- Enter the security key when asked by the WiFi Station application.
- If you wish to do so, you can add the network to your favourites by checking the Yes box; you will then be requested to provide a name for the network.
If you wish to connect to a secure network, you must have access to the network's security key. Before the connection can be made, the eCAFÉ™ Connect WiFi Station application will ask you to provide this key (a message will help you identify the required type of key).
To connect to a hidden network (the Network name (SSID) field is empty):
If, among the located networks, one or more networks do not have a name (i.e. the Network name (SSID) field is empty), this means that the network is not broadcasting its name. To connect to this network, select it, then:
- Click on the Connect to the network button.
- Enter the network's name (SSID) in the window that displays.
- If this network is secure, enter the used security key.
- If you wish to do so, you can add the network to your favourites by checking the Yes box; you will then be requested to provide a name for the network.
For greater browsing comfort, you can either use your Internet browser’s zoom function or press the F11 key to switch between full screen mode and window display mode.
For more information about the connection's status:
The eCAFÉ™ Connect icon appears in the notification area. It provides updated information about the connection's status:
Internet connection: an Ethernet or WiFi peripheral is active and physically connected; Internet access is available.
Your Internet connection is perfectly operational.
Local connection: an Ethernet or WiFi peripheral is active and physically connected; no Internet access is available.
Connection problem: an Ethernet or

You are connected to a modem, a router or an Internet box or to a corporate network; however, this device or network is not connected to the Internet. Please check the
Internet connection settings on your local area network or your modem.

WARNING
Read the following warnings before you or your child play video games.
Always observe the following recommendations when playing video games.
Avoid playing if you are tired or lacking sleep.
Always play in a well-lit room, and reduce the brightness of your screen.
When playing a video game on a television screen, sit at good distance from the screen, as far away the connection cable will allow.

About photosensitive epileptic seizures
Some people may experience a seizure with loss of consciousness or loss of sight when exposed to intense visual stimulation, such as series of flashing images or the repeated display of simple geometrical shapes, flashing lights or explosions.
These persons are prone to experience photosensitive epileptic seizures when playing video games featuring such visual stimulation, even if they have no history of seizures or epilepsy.
If you, or anyone in your family, have already experienced an epileptic condition (seizure or loss of conscience) when subjected to the visual stimulation described above, consult your physician before using a video game.
Parents should look out for, or ask their children about, the above symptoms - children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion or momentary loss of awareness. Should you or your children experience any of the above, stop playing immediately and consult a physician.
