If you have any difficulties connecting to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router,
check the top three issues below and see if they apply to your situation.

• If you are attempting to create a wireless connection, but cannot

connect to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, make sure each Wireless
Card is set to

Infrastructure

mode. If the Wireless Cards are set to

802.11b AdHoc

mode, you will not be able to connect to the Wireless

Cable/DSL Router. When each Wireless Card is set to

Infrastructure

mode, it should automatically connect to the Access Point of the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router. If the Wireless Cards do not automatically
connect, rescan until they detect the Wireless Cable/DSL Router
and connect.

• If you create a wireless connection to the Wireless Cable/DSL Router,

but are experiencing poor link quality, check the positioning of the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router. Long distances, multiple floors, or steel or
concrete walls can diminish the link quality. If possible, reposition the
Wireless Cable/DSL Router to reduce the effect of any obstacles.

• If you have the Wireless Cable/DSL Router properly connected and

can

access the Internet, but are experiencing difficulties connecting

with special applications (e.g., ICQ, Battle.net, etc.), you must assign
specific ports in order to bypass the firewall function. For more
information about how to configure this function, refer to the "Special
Applications" section within the “Configuring the Wireless Cable/DSL
Router" chapter of the User Guide.

Note:

If you want to attach a printer to your network, refer to the Print

Server section of the Companion Reference Guide and the User Guide for
installation instructions.

For troubleshooting and support information, refer to the Companion Reference
Guide or to the User Guide on the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM.
