Send or Receive Data
•
Check that the
Wireless LED on the gateway front panel is
lit (solid).
•
Check that the coaxial cable connections are connected
properly, then check your IP address. If the problem still
persists, check the
Wireless Security setting on the
Wireless Primary Network Settings screen.
If you enabled the
WPA Wireless Security mode and
configured a passphrase (wireless network password) on
the gateway, be sure each affected wireless client has the
identical passphrase. If this does not resolve the problem,
check if the wireless client supports the type of WPA
security configured on the gateway.
