Ensure your wireless adapter functions properly. You may
open the

adapter is proper installed.

Make sure your wireless client is configured to use
Infrastructure mode. Also make sure the client uses the
same SSID and security settings (if enabled) with the AP.

Ensure that the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP settings are
correct as required by your network administrator.

Check that the wireless adapter’s MAC address is not in
the MAC address list if Access Control is enabled to use a

If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, check that the
54g Mode item (in Wireless LAN page) is not configured
to use 54g Performace. On the other hand, if you are
using 802.11g adapter, check the 54g Mode item is not
configured to use 802.11b Only.

Use the ping command to verify the wireless client’s
communication.with the router’s LAN port and with the
opposite computer. If the wireless client can successfully
ping the router’s LAN port but fails to ping the opposite
computer, then verify the TCP/IP settings of the opposite
computer.

After you retrieved the desired file, you must reboot the
router to have retrieved settings take effect.
