5. Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
A: Check the following:
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is
powered ON.
Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment.
If your PC is set to “ Obtain an IP Address automatically ” (DHCP client),
restart it.
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible
with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.1. Also, the Network
Mask should be set to 255.255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In
Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to
check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
6. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.
A: Check the following:
1. The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that
the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match
"workgroup".
2. Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for WEP.
The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless station should
also have WEP disabled.
3. If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled, and the
key must match.
4. To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible when
close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range can be as
little as 100 feet in poor environments.
7. Q: The WinXP wireless interface couldn’t communicate the WEP with WE-1110’s
wireless interface.
A: The default WEP of WinXP is Authentication Open System - WEP , but the WEP of
WE-1110 is only for Shared Key - WEP , it caused both sides couldn’t communicate.
Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication Open System to Pre-shared
Key - WEP , and then the WEP wireless interface between WinXP and WE-1110
would be communicated.
