Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Check the following first:
• Make sure that the power of the SMC2586W-G is on and the Ethernet
cables are connected firmly to the RJ-45 jacks of the SMC2586W-G.
• Make sure that the LED ALV of the SMC2586W-G is blinking to indicate
the SMC2586W-G is working.
• Make sure the types of the Ethernet cables are correct. Recall that there
are two types—straight-through and crossover.
Wireless Settings Problems
• The wireless client computer cannot associate with an SMC2586W-G.
• Is the wireless client set in infrastructure mode?
• Check the operating mode of the WLAN NIC.
• Is the SSID of the WLAN NIC identical to that of the prospective
SMC2586W-G?
• Check the SSID setting of the WLAN NIC and of the SMC2586W-G.
• Is the WEP functionality of the prospective SMC2586W-G enabled?
• Make appropriate WEP settings of the client computer to match those
of the SMC2586W-G.
• Is the prospective SMC2586W-G within range of wireless communication?
• Check the signal strength and link quality sensed by the WLAN NIC.
