J. Ensure whether your wireless card and driver have been properly installed.
Open the Control Panel. Double-click the System icon. Inside the Device
Manager window, expand the Network Adapters listing and verify whether
the name of your wireless card is listed.
If it does not, power down your laptop. Remove the wireless card from its slot
and re-insert it, ensuring that it properly fits into the slot. Reboot your
computer.
If it does, click on it and press the
Properties button. Check whether Device
Status displays this message “This device is working properly”. If it does not,
you will need to uninstall and re-install the software driver.
K. Verify whether your gateway and your laptop and/or other wireless clients
have been configured with the same SSID, which is the case-sensitive name of
the wireless network that you are trying to access, and the same WEP settings.
L. Check whether your gateway and your laptop are using the same frequency
channel.
