Troubleshooting
My computer does not recognise the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter.
Possible Solution:
•The 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter may not be fully inserted into the PCI slot. You can also try
installing the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter into a different PCI slot.
•Your PCI slot may not be configured correctly. To configure your PCI slot, contact your computer
manufacturer.
I am unable to communicate with an Access Point or Wireless Router.
Possible Solution:
Be sure that each 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter that you want to connect to the wireless network
is set to Infrastructure mode within the Configuration Utility. If your 22 Mbps Wireless PCI
Adapters are not set to Infrastructure mode, they will not be able to communicate with an Access
Point or Wireless Adapter.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that the Access Point Configuration Utility is installed for your 22 Mbps Wireless Access
Point and that the Configuration Utility is installed and functioning for your 22 Mbps Wireless PCI
Adapters.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that you are contacting the correct 22 Mbps Wireless Access Point by verifying the MAC
address.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that the correct password and encryption option are being used. If you changed the
settings in the configuration of the 22 Mbps Wireless Access Point, you must also change the
settings of every 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter attached to this network. The settings of the 22
Mbps Wireless PCI Adapters must match the new settings of the 22 Mbps Wireless Access Point. If
you are still experiencing difficulties, reset all of your Wireless Access Points and wireless
network adapters to the default settings and try again.
Possible Solution:
Ensure that you can connect to the Wireless Access Point and that the BSSID shows the MAC
address of the Wireless Access Point you want to communicate with.
Possible Solution:
If you are not using a U.S. Robotics Wireless Access Point, ensure that you can connect to the
Access Point and that the preamble mode is set to Long.
I received a message that my computer shares a name with another
computer on the wireless network.
Possible Solution:
Each computer on the wireless network must have a different name. Refer to your computer’s
documentation to see how to change the name of your computer.

6
I am unable to establish a wireless connection with my 22 Mbps Wireless
PCI Adapter.
Possible Solution:
Verify that the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter is properly installed. Make sure that the antenna of
the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter is firmly connected to the antenna port of the PCI Adapter. If
you continue to experience problems, uninstall the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter and repeat the
installation procedure.
Possible Solution:
If you are attempting a peer-to-peer connection, verify that each wireless adapter is set to 802.11
ad hoc mode. If you are using a Wireless Access Point, verify that each wireless adapter is set to
Infrastructure mode.
My 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter does not see my Wireless Access Point in
the list when I scan for it.
Possible Solution:
If you create a wireless connection with the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter but are experiencing
poor link quality, check the positioning of the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter. Long distances,
multiple floors, or steel or concrete walls can diminish the link quality. If possible, reposition the
22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter to reduce the effect of any of these obstacles. In addition, check
any physical connections between the Wireless Access Point and your modem, router, hub, LAN,
or switch.
I accidentally clicked Cancel during the software installation procedure for
the 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter.
Possible Solution:
Remove and reinsert the Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Repeat the software
installation procedure.
The software installation procedure did not begin when I inserted the
Installation CD-ROM.
Possible Solution:
Some programs may keep the autolaunch feature of the Installation CD-ROM from beginning.
Close any open applications and reinsert the Installation CD-ROM. If the Installation CD-ROM
interface does not run automatically, click Windows Start and then click Run. In the “Run” dialog
box, type D:\setup.exe. If your CD-ROM drive uses a different letter, type that letter in place of
“D.”
I received a message that my 22 Mbps Wireless Access Point or my
computer shares an IP address with another computer on the wireless
network.
Possible Solution:
Each computer and 22 Mbps Wireless Access Point on the wireless network must have a different
IP address. Refer to your computer’s documentation to see how to change the IP address on your
computer.

7
The 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter cannot communicate with other
computers linked via Ethernet in the Infrastructure configuration.
Possible Solution:
•Ensure that each computer in the wireless network is powered on.
•Ensure that each 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter is configured on the same operating radio
channel. If the IDs are different, change each 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter within the LAN to the
new radio channel.
•Ensure TCP/IP is installed. Ensure you are a part of the same domain or workgroup. Ensure that
you are automatically obtaining the IP address or that you have a correct IP address and subnet
mask. Reset the Wireless Access Point and restart the computer that has a connectivity issue.
•Ensure that you have some files available for sharing.

d'autres produits réseau sans fil proches et de s'y connecter.
La petite icône de l'utilitaire de configuration apparaît
maintenant dans la barre des tâches, près de l'horloge.
L'utilitaire de configuration sert à modifier ou à vérifier les
informations relatives à la configuration de votre adaptateur 22
Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter. La couleur de l'icône indique l'état
de votre réseau sans fil : rouge pour déconnecté, jaune pour
une connexion médiocre et vert pour une connexion de qualité.

Dépannage
Mon ordinateur ne reconnaît pas l'adaptateur 22 Mbps Wireless PCI
Adapter.
Solution possible :
•Il se peut que l'adaptateur 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter ne soit pas correctement inséré dans
la fente PCI. Vous pouvez également essayer d'installer l'adaptateur 22 Mbps Wireless PCI
Adapter dans une autre fente PCI.
•La fente PCI n'est peut-être pas correctement configurée. Pour la configurer, contactez le
fabricant de votre ordinateur.
Je n'arrive pas à communiquer avec un point d'accès ou un routeur sans fil.

Vérifiez que le mode Infrastructure est sélectionné dans l'utilitaire de configuration pour chaque
adaptateur 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapter que vous voulez connecter au réseau sans fil. Si vos
adaptateurs 22 Mbps Wireless PCI Adapters ne sont pas réglés sur le mode Infrastructure, ils ne
pourront pas communiquer avec un point d'accès ou un adaptateur sans fil.
Solution possible :
Assurez-vous que l'utilitaire de configuration du point d'accès est installé pour votre point
d'accès 22 Mbps Wireless Access Point et qu'il fonctionne avec vos adaptateurs 22 Mbps
