Troubleshooting
This section addresses common problems with wireless connections. Please examine this
section and attempt the solutions offered before contacting technical support. Given the
complexity of some wireless networks, you may want to get assistance from your System
Administrator or other professional if you encounter difficulties achieving a stable,
secure wireless connection.
Problem:
I cannot connect to my wireless network.
Cause:
Your security and/or encryption settings may not match those of the wireless
access device (router, access point) to which you are trying to connect, or there
may be an environmental issue (distance, interference) that is compromising

Solution:
1) Go to the
Statistics
tab of the Configuration Utility. If a signal is present but
extremely low, try reorienting the antenna of the PCI555WG or decrease the
distance between the antenna and the access device to improve the signal
strength.
2) If there is a great deal of potential interference-causing material between the
antenna and access device (electrical cables, heavy machinery, solid walls) you
may wish to relocate the computer or access device.
3) Ensure that the Tx Rate is set to
Auto
on the
Advance
tab in the
Configuration Utility so that the card will negotiate the best possible
