Troubleshooting

1. Cannot connect to access point (infrastructure mode) or

other wireless stations (ad-hoc mode)

Check that the POWER light on the adaptor is on.

Make sure the adaptor and access points/wireless stations are using the

same SSID.

If MAC address filtering (see section 4.2) is enabled at the access point,

contact the network administrator to include your adpator's MAC address into

the list of authorised clients.

If WEP is used, make sure the same encryption (64- or 128-bit) is selected

and the same WEP key table has been entered.

Incorrect IP Address or Subnet Mask. Check these settings in the TCP/IP

Properties dialog box in the Network Configuration tab.

Restart computer.

2. How to find the MAC address of my adaptor

The MAC address of your adaptor can be read off the barcode label affixed

on the product. The label reads MAC:009096-xxxxxx. 009096 is the first half

of the address.

Alternatively if the adaptor is already installed go to the DOS prompt, type

ipconfig /all. The MAC address is shown under physical address as a group

of 6 double digits.

3. Poor Link Quality

If the link quality is poor, it may be due to:

Radio interference.

Distance between adaptor and access point/wireless station is too far.

4. How to avoid radio interference

Other wireless devices and appliances on site may share the same 2.4 GHz band.

If undesirable effects are observed, try switching to a different channel.

Alternatively, switch the other devices to use a different channel. Also try the

following:

Move the computer to a different location or orientation. If the adaptor is

USB, move the adaptor instead of the computer.
