Notes on Wireless Connection
Make sure that the computer is connected to the access point (A) (or wireless network router) you want to connect your

The conguration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your
system environment. For details, refer to the manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.
Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n (2.4 GHz), IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11b.
If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security protocol. Change the
security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or change the setting to something other than
"IEEE802.11n only."
