Confirm the access point setting.
Refer to the instruction manual provided with the access point or contact its manufacturer to confirm the
access point setting. Make sure that the computer and the access point can communicate with each other
under this setting.
Check2
If you are performing MAC address filtering or IP address filtering at the
access point, confirm that the MAC address or IP address for both the computer or the
network device and the machine are registered.
Check3
If you are using a WEP or WPA/WPA2 key, make sure that the encryption
key for the computer or the network device and the machine matches that set to the
access point.
Besides the WEP key itself, the key length, key format, the key ID to use, and the authentication method must
match among the machine, the access point, and the computer.
Normally, select Auto for the authentication method. If you want to specify the method manually, select Open
System or Shared Key according to the setting of the access point.
