Troubleshooting wireless connection problems
Some possible causes for wireless connection problems include the following:
●
Network configuration (SSID or security) has been changed.
●
Wireless device is not installed correctly or has been disabled.
●
Wireless device or router hardware has failed.
●
Wireless device encountered interference from other devices.
NOTE:
Wireless networking devices are included with select computer models only. If wireless
networking is not listed in the feature list on the side of the original computer package, you may add
wireless networking capability to the computer by purchasing a wireless networking device.
Before working your way through the sequence of possible solutions to your network connection
problem, be sure that device drivers are installed for all wireless devices.
Use the procedures in this chapter to diagnose and repair a computer that does not connect to the
network you want to use.
