A wireless connection is not possible (the adapter does not detect a network)

 

  Check the network settings (network name (SSID), radio channel, etc.). 
  Check the security settings or, first, try to make a connection without encryption (WEP/WPA). 
  Position the wireless devices 1 to 3 meters apart and reconnect them. 
  Check the TCP/IP properties of the wireless network. 
  Check whether the correct wireless network type has been selected (Infrastructure or Ad-hoc). 
  The network to be detected does not transmit a network name (SSID). Enter the correct network name 

(SSID) in the network settings. 

 

There is a wireless connection, but no data can be transferred 

  Make sure the settings on both sides of the connection are the same. 
  Check the encryption settings. Enter the encryption key again. 
 Reconnect. 

 

An Ad-hoc connection cannot be made 

  Enter the same wireless network settings for each station. Check the network name (SSID), channel, etc.
