I inserted the TEW-421PC/TEW-423PI CD-ROM into my computer's CD-ROM Drive and 

the installation menu does not appear automatically. What should I do?

 If the installation menu does not appear automatically, click Start, click Run, and type 

D:\Autorun.exe where "D" in "D:\Autorun.exe" is the letter assigned to your computer's 
CD-ROM Drive, and then press the ENTER key on your keyboard.

I completed all the steps in the quick installation guide, but my card is not connecting to 

my access point. What should I do?

First, verify that the Network Name (SSID) matches your wireless router or access

point's Network Name (SSID).  Second, check your TCP/IP properties to ensure that Obtain 
an IP address automatically is selected. Third, open the Wireless Client Utility icon, click
Site Survey and then click refresh to check and see if there are any available wireless

     

networks listed.

Windows is unable to recognize my hardware. What should I do?

First, make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements as specified in 

Section 1 of this quick installation guide.  Second, you must complete the installation of the 
wireless configuration utility (as described in Section 2) before connecting the Wireless  
Adapter to your computer. Third, connect the Wireless Adapter to a different PCI/PC Card 
slot on your computer.

I cannot open the wireless configuration utility. What should I do?

First, access your device manager to make sure the adapter is installed properly. If you 

see a networking device with a yellow question mark or exclamation point, you will need to 
reinstall the device and/or the drivers. To access your device manager, right-click 

My 

Computer

, click 

Properties

, under the 

Hardware 

tab click 

Device Manager

. Second, if you 

are running Windows XP, you need to disable wireless zero configuration.  Go to 

Control 

Panel -> Network Connections

.  Right click on the 

Wireless Network Connection

 icon 

and select 

Properties

.  Click on the 

Wireless Networks

 tab and uncheck 

Use windows to 

configure my wireless settings.   

Then click 

OK
