Wireless Nd1 PC Card and PCI Adapter
1. Ensure that your computer is close enough to your router to receive a signal
and that there is nothing interfering with the signal, such as a microwave oven
or a concrete wall. Check the Site Monitor tab of the USRobotics
N
d
1
Configuration Utility. If your router is not listed, the problem may be signal
strength.
2. Verify that your router is configured to broadcast its network name.
3. Ensure that the
N
d
1
Configuration Utility is using the correct
Network name
(SSID) and wireless security settings for your router. Settings such as network
name, security method (such as WPA or WEP), and security keys must all
match.
4. Verify that the computer is allowed to connect to your router. If MAC filtering is
enabled on your router, verify that the MAC address of your PC Card or PCI
Adapter is allowed access to the router. You may need to add this MAC address
to your router.
5. If your PC Card or PCI Adapter still cannot connect to your router, try a wired
connection between your computer and your router. Connect an Ethernet cable
between your computer's LAN port and a LAN port on your router. If a wired
connection works, the problem is almost certainly with your computer's wireless
connection to the router. Try the previous steps again.
If you can verify the connection between your computer and your router, it's likely the
router is not connected to the Internet or is not functioning correctly. Refer to your
router's documentation to troubleshoot your router's connection to the Cable or DSL
modem and to verify your modem's connection to the Internet.
Verify your modem's connection to the Internet
If your computer has a connection to your router and the Internet connection
information on your router is configured correctly but you still cannot connect to the
Internet, it is possible that the cable or DSL modem has lost its connection or is not
functioning properly, or there's a problem with your ISP.
