there may be a problem with the broadband connection.

2. 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.

3. Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly entered

for the network.

4. In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is specified on the

settings for the wireless clients and access points.

5. 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.

6. Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly.

7. If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the

Adapter and the access point.
