I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients

(computers, game consoles, etc .) are now unable to connect .

Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and

password, found printed on an attached card. All clients must use this

network name and password to connect wirelessly to your Router.

You will need to find the network settings on your client, select the

network name printed on the card from the list of available networks,

and enter the password when prompted to join the wireless network.

limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit

rate can help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless

cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this

property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network

Connections”, and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In

the properties dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General”

tab, then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property.

Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust

the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause

periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as

a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment

with different connection rates until you find the best one

for your environment. Note that all available transmission

rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For

more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.
