Step 3
Ensure that the security mode of the WLAN is set to
WPA-PSK
or
WPA2-PSK
and the
SSID is set to
SSID1
. Note that the WPS function of the HG256s is forcibly disabled if
the WEP encryption is used for accessing a WLAN.
Step 4
Check the positions of the wireless router and the PC. Ensure that they are far from
electrical appliances, such as a microwave oven, a refrigerator, or a cordless telephone,
that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
Step 5
It is recommended that you place the HG256s and the PC in an open space. Although
radio signals can pass through obstacles, passing through too many obstacles such as
cement or wooden walls can affect the transmission of radio signals of a WLAN.

Q 6:
What can I do if I cannot access the Internet through a wireless
network adapter?
Step 1
Ensure that the power cables and network cables of the HG256s are properly connected.
Step 2
Check whether the WLAN indicator of the HG256s is on.
If the WLAN indicator is off, you can infer that the wireless local area network (WLAN)
function of the HG256s is disabled. In this case, enable the WLAN function.
For details about how to enable the WLAN function, see the manual of the HG256s.
Step 3
See the description of the wireless network adapter that is installed on the computer and
check whether the wireless network adapter supports the 802.11b/g/n protocols.
If the wireless network adapter does not support the 802.11b/g/n protocols, replace it
with the network adapter that supports the protocols.
Step 4
Check whether the driver for the wireless network adapter is properly installed on the
computer.
If the driver is improperly installed, install it properly.
Step 5
Check whether the computer can receive the signals of a WLAN.
Take a computer that runs Windows XP as an example. To check whether the computer
can receive the signals of a WLAN, do as follows:
1.
In the
Control Panel
window, double-click
Network Connections
to display the
Network Connections
window.
2.
In the
Network Connections
window, right-click
Wireless Network Connection
and choose
View Available Wireless Network
.
If the computer cannot detect a WLAN, place the computer close to the HG256s and
ensure that no obstacles such as cement or wooden walls are present between the
wireless client and the HG256s.
Step 6
Check whether the computer accesses the WLAN of the HG256s successfully.
Check the list of wireless network connections and ensure that the HG256s is connected
to the WLAN.
Step 7
Try to access multiple Web sites to check whether the HG256s can access other Web
sites.
