I cannot find an AP.

Verify whether the Wireless LAN LED

is on.

If it is turned off, turn it on by pressing

the Wireless LAN On/Off button
(

The Wireless LAN device is

operating properly, but I cannot

connect to the Internet or to

another computer.

This is due to an incorrect

configuration, or a configuration

error. Check the following:

When connecting to a wireless Ad-

Hoc network, check if the network

name (SSID) is the same.

If a network key (encryption key) is

used, the AP (Access Point) and

wireless Ad-Hoc network keys must

be the same.

The AP network key can be

configured using an AP management

program. For more detailed

information, ask your network

administrator or product provider.

Check that the device driver is

installed properly. If the driver is

not properly installed, you will find

a yellow exclamation mark on the

network icon by clicking

Device

Manager > Network Adapter

The signal strength is excellent,

but I cannot connect to the

network.

Even if the signal strength is

excellent, the network connection

may not operate properly if the

TCP/IP properties are not properly

configured, or the network key

(encryption key) is incorrect.

Check that the TCP/IP properties

are configured properly. When

connecting to an AP, right-click the

Network Connections

icon on

the taskbar and select

Network and

Sharing Center

. If you click the

View

Status

next to a connected wireless

network device and then click the
