All the settings are correct, but I can not make a wireless connection to the Access
Point.
First, double check that the wireless LED on the Access Point is lit. Second, power cycle
the Access Point. Unplug the power to the Access Point. Wait 15 seconds, then plug the
power back in. Third, contact the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter. Make sure
the wireless network adapter is configured with the proper SSID. The default SSID of the
Access Point is TRENDnet638. If you have enabled any encryption on the Access Point,
make sure to configure the wireless network adapter with the same Pre-shared key.
: I am trying to connect additional wireless adapters, but I don't remember the encryption
(network) key. What should I do?
From a wired computer, log on to the access point configuration page. Click Wireless ->
Security. The encryption key will be listed here.
