Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing connection difficulties, first check your cables:
• Make sure that all cables are in their proper ports and firmly seated.
• Check to see if your power adapter is plugged into a functioning power source and
that your Power LED is on.
• Avoid interference. Network cabling can be run under floors, around office dividers,
or over dropped ceilings. When planning your wiring layout, try to keep cables away
from power outlets, florescent lighting fixtures, uninterruptible power supplies, and
other sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
If you are having trouble with your wireless connections, check the following:
• Make sure all your wireless clients are equipped with 802.11b-compatible wireless
adapters.
• Make sure that your wireless gaming adapter and all your wireless clients have the
same ESSID and are on the same channel.
• If you have enabled encryption options, make sure that the same encryption key has
been entered on each device. Make sure that the key selected on your wireless
gaming adapter is the same key entered on the other wireless device you want to
connect to.
• If you are experiencing intermittent network connections, try re-orienting the adapter.
