I completed all the steps in the quick installation guide, but my card isn't
connecting to my access point. What should I do?
You should first verify that the Network card’s SSID matches your wireless
router or access point's SSID. If they already match, you should check your TCP/IP
properties to ensure that Obtain an IP address automatically is selected. Refer to
your Windows User's Manual if you are unable to locate your TCP/IP properties.
Windows is unable to recognize my hardware. What should I do?
Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements as specified in
Section 1 of this quick installation guide. Also, you must install the wireless
configuration utility (as described in Section 2) BEFORE you physically install your
network card. Lastly, you may consider moving the card to a different PC Card
Slot.
I cannot open the wireless configuration utility. What should I do?
Go to your device manager (control panel > system) to make sure the adapter
is installed properly. If you see a networking device with a yellow question mark or
exclamation point, you will need to reinstall the device and/or the drivers.
If you still encounter problems, please refer to the User's Guide CD-ROM or contact
technical support.
