WiFi Connections
If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem.
Consider the following possibilities:
•
The WiFi signal strength is weak.
Check these conditions:
-
Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Move your computer near the
router, but at least 6 feet (2 meters) away, and see if the signal strength improves.
-
Is your WiFi signal blocked by objects between the router and your computer?
•
Your computer or WiFi devices does not find your WiFi network.
Check the following:
-
Is the WiFi LED
on the router lit?
If this LED is off, someone might have disabled the wireless radio or set up a wireless
schedule. For more information about these settings, see
Use the Router as a
Wireless Access Point
on page
45.
-
Did you disable the router’s SSID broadcast?
If you cleared the
Enable SSID Broadcast
check box in the Wireless Network
screen, your wireless network is hidden and does not display in your wireless client’s
scanning list. To connect to a hidden network, you must type the network name and
the WiFi password. For more information about the SSID broadcast, see
Specify
Basic WiFi Settings
