correctly lit.
2.
Check whether all of the settings described in this manual are correctly set.
3.
Verify that your ADSL/Cable Modem is operating normally, and/or you have ISP service
available.
4.
Check that your network cable is connected correctly, and the LED status is normal.
Q: I am unable to access the Game Adapter’s Web Configuration Interface.
A:
1.
Please check the Ethernet connection (RJ-45 LAN cable) between the PC and the Access Point
is properly connected.
2.
Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the Access Point. (Check this
by typing
ipconfig /all
from a DOS command prompt)
3.
Make sure you are carefully typing the correct IP address of the router in the address bar of your
web browser. The IP address of your router is the “Gateway” address you see when you run the

Q: What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
A:
It is also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi. It is an expansion to 802.11 that applies to wireless
LAN and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band.
The 802.11b uses only Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). The 802.11b was a 1999
ratification to the origianl 802.11 standard, allowing wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.
Q: What is WEP?
A:
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). A security mechanism defined within the 802.11 standard and
designed to make the link integrity of the wireless medium equal to wired cable.
Q: What is the IEEE 802.11g standard?
A:
IEEE 802.11g standard specifies data rates of up to 54 Mbps in the 2.45-GHz band. It uses
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), which is the mandatory provisions have been
made within the standard to make it inherently compatible with the well-established 802.11b standard
at 11 Mbps, which uses Complementary Code Keying (CCK) modulation. Both .11g and .11b can
operate at ranges of up to 300 feet.
