This tests verifies that the network controller internal memory is functioning properly. The test writes patterned values to the memory and reading back the results. The test fails if an erroneous value is read back. The network controller will not function without its internal memory.
Interrupt Test
This test verifies that the NDIS driver is able to receive interrupts from the network controller.
Loopback Test
This test verifies that the NDIS driver is able send packets and receive packets from the network controller.
LED Test
This test verifies that your 802.11 wireless networking hardware is functioning correctly.
28
TROUBLESHOOTING
Cannot Connect to the Network
If your Card appears to be functioning properly but you cannot connect to the network, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the “Network name (SSID)” and “Wireless network key (WEP)” settings in your wireless network properties and the name and WEP key of the network you are trying to connect to. The network name and WEP key are case-sensitive. Verify that the spelling and case of these parameters are correct and that the settings are exactly the same on all computers on the network.
If you have verified that the spelling and case of these parameters are correct and that the settings are exactly the same on all computers on the network and you are still unable to connect to the network, see “Performance and
Connectivity Problems”.

Microwave ovens and some cordless phones operate at the same radio frequency as the wireless network cards. When the microwave oven or cordless phone is in use, it interferes with the wireless network.
Therefore, keep computers with the Card at least 20 feet away from your microwave oven and any cordless telephone that operates at a frequency of
2.4GHz.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Data transfer is always very slow.
Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with your network’s radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving your computers to different locations in the building to see if performance improves.
Computers are not communicating with the network.
If your network has an access point, check all cables and make sure the power LED on the front of the access point is on.
In Windows 2000, I get the following error message:
“Medium cable disconnected”.
Also, there is a red X on my network icon in the system tray.
This indicates that your computer is not properly configured to connect to the network. Verify that all of the wireless network properties settings are correct. Also, make sure that your computer is receiving a good signal from the access point.
Network performance is really slow when the system is connected to both a wireless network and an active
Ethernet port.
Note: For Windows 2000 only.
This condition occurs if your computer has an active
Ethernet port while your Card is still active and connected to an access point. This happens because
Windows 2000 must now handle two active network connections. You need to either disconnect the
Ethernet cable from your computer, or disable the radio on your Card. To disable the radio on your Card, right-click on the Belkin Wireless Utility icon in the system tray and click “Disable Radio”. Note: The radio is not automatically enabled when your computer starts up again.
To enable the radio, right-click on the Belkin Wireless Utility icon and click “Enable
Radio”.
