USB Wireless Adapter Quick Installation Guide

Make sure that the PC to which the Adapter is associated is powered on.
Make sure that your Adapter is configured on the same channel and with the same security options
as with the other computers in the Infrastructure configuration.

What should I do when the computer with the Adapter installed is unable to connect to the
wireless network and/or the Internet?
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating normal activity. If not, there
may be a problem with the broadband connection.
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly. If not, check that the
AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.
Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly entered for the
network.
In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings
for the wireless clients and access points.
In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID. Please note that it might
be necessary to set up one client to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before
setting up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same
time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with
multiple clients associated to it.
Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly.
If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the Adapter
and the access point.
