Step 2.4 The connection should be now established. Verify that IP
Address,Subnet Mask and Gateway have valid numbers assigned to

green bars next to Signal Strength and Link Quality.

If you are experiencing problems with the connection (unable to connect,
low signal strength, slow connection speed, not working, unstable wireless
connection) you may want to tune your router’s signal by changing the
channels on the router and/or by adjusting the direction of the antenna(s).
You do not need to change the channel on the Adapter; it will automatically
pick up the new channel after you reboot the router.
Your router has 11 different channels to choose from. Start from channel 1
and work your way up. Each time you change the channel on the router,
make sure that you restart the computer that is connected to the router
before trying to connect again. Keep going through the channels until you
find one that gives you a stable connection.
For instructions on changing channels, refer to the documentation that
comes with the router.
