access point.

Security page: Ensure that Encryption is the same on clients and the
access point.
■
Authentication page: Ensure that the Local MAC Authentication System
Default is set to Allow. Ensure that 802.1x Authentication Settings are correct.
■
TCP/IP Settings page: If the DHCP Client is set to Disabled, then ensure that
the access point IP Address is within the same subnet as the wired LAN.
If necessary, reset the access point to the factory defaults.
