Step 7

 

Try to access different web sites to check whether the HG532t can 

access other web sites. 

If the HG532t cannot access other web sites, restore to the default settings of 
the HG532t. If the problem persists, contact your service provider. 
How do I improve the transmission quality of wireless signals? 

Step 1

 

Check the positions of the HG532t and computer. Ensure that they 

are far from electric appliances that generate strong magnetic or 

electric fields,  such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, and 

cordless telephones. 

Step 2

 

Place your HG532t in an open space.  

Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, passing through too 
many obstacles, such as cement or wooden walls may negatively impact the 
transmission of WLAN radio signals. 

Step 3

 

Place your computer close to your HG532t. 

If your computer is far from your HG532t, the transmission of radio signals 
may be negatively impacted. 

Step 4

 

Place your HG532t and computer in a different direction. 

Step 5

 

Avoid using your HG532t to access a WLAN during thunderstorms. 

What can I do if the WLAN of the HG532t is not encrypted and the computer 

cannot access the WLAN? 

Step 1

 

Delete the settings of wireless network connections from your 

computer. 

Using a computer that runs Windows XP as an example, delete the settings 
of wireless network connections by doing the following: 

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 

Properties

3.

  In the

 Wireless Network Connection Properties 

dialog box, click 

the 

Wireless Networks

 tab. 

4.

  In the 

Preferred Networks

  group box, select the latest wireless 

network connection saved on your computer, and then click 

Remove

5.

  Delete all the other wireless network connections from the 

Preferred Networks

 group box. 

6.

  Click 

OK

Step 2

 

Create a wireless network connection that is not encrypted.
