Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same
communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default
channel can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm
that the router has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If
not, the NIC won't be able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few
access points that offer DHCP services but do not assign all of the needed IP
information to the NIC. As a result, I was able to connect to the network, but
could not browse the web. The point is, don't assume anything. Verify for
yourself that all of the required settings are being received by the workstation.
Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the
same room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to
minimize potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams.
2. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.
A: Check the following:
Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in
infrastructure Mode.)
The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup”
does NOT match “workgroup”.
Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting
for WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your
wireless station should also have WEP disabled.
If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP
enabled, and the key must match.
If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to
selected Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must
have been selected, or access will be blocked.
To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the
connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
