• Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your
operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.
• Make sure the computer and other network devices are
receiving power.
• The access point you want to attach to may be defective.
Try using another access point.
• If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the
network, check that you have enabled and configured the
service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server, be
sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.
• If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured
your system for TCP/IP.
If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer in
the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure mode, check
the following:
• Make sure the access point which the station is associated with
is powered on.
• If you still can’t connect, change the access point and all the
stations within the BSS to another radio channel.
• Make sure the SSID is the same as that used by the access point
for a station with roaming disabled, or the same as that used by
the access points in the extended service set (ESS).
