1. The adapter fails to
function.
2. The adapter LED is off.
3.
The operating system
does not detect the
InstantWave adapter.
These problems may be caused by unsuccessful
installation. Completely uninstall the adapter
(hardware and driver) and repeat the installation
procedure as described in this manual.
The computer cannot
associate with an access
point (AP), even though the
link quality is good and the
taskbar indicator is green.
Make sure the computer has the same SSID and
security settings as the AP.
1. SSID:
The domain name (SSID) is case-sensitive and must
be the same as that of the AP. It should not contain
any spaces. See Figure 16, page 17.
2. Security:
You need to have the same security setting (
Disabled
,
40-bit WEP
,
128-bit WEP
, or
256-bit WEP
) and WEP
key (if WEP is enabled). See
Encryption
, page 21.
The wireless network is
often interrupted (the
InstantWave Lamp icon
indicator shows red, or the
link quality indicator
shows black).
1. Move your wireless PC closer to the access point
(AP) to find a better signal. If the signal is still
weak, change the angle of the antenna.
2. There may be interference, possibly caused by a
microwave oven, 2.4-GHz wireless phone, or
metal objects. Move these interference sources or
change the location of the wireless PC or AP.
3. Change the wireless channel on the AP. See the
AP User Guide.
4. Make sure the AP’s antenna, connectors, and
cabling are firmly connected.
The AP cannot be detected
by the Site Survey tool.
The distance between the AP and the wireless PC is
too great.
The Secure SSID setting has been set on the AP. See
the AP user guide.
