Troubleshooting

Using the USB Power Cable

You can connect the USB power cable to a USB port on a nearby device. If the Internet
adapter is not getting enough power, the following can occur:

The Power LED is red.

The Internet adapter resets itself intermittently or turns itself off.

Check to make sure that the device with the USB port is powered on. If so, it is likely that the
USB port you are connected to does not provide enough power for the Internet adapter. Try
using the power adapter. See

Connecting to http://www.mywifiext.net

When I launched my browser, I got an error page. What can I do?

Make sure that you include http:// when you type this URL in the address field of your

Internet browser. If you leave it out, you might not be able to connect.

If you started up your computer, connected the Ethernet cable to the Internet adapter,

and launched your browser quickly, the computer might still need a couple of minutes to
recognize the Ethernet LAN connection. Try launching your browser again.

If the problem continues, make sure that your Ethernet cable is securely connected to the
Internet adapter and the computer, and that the Internet adapter LAN LED is on. If not,
reconnect the Ethernet cable, and re-launch your Internet browser.

Connecting to Wireless Networks

To join a wireless network you must know its network name (also called the SSID) so that
you can select it. If the network is secure, you must know the passphrase or wireless key. If
the Internet adapter does not connect to the network that you chose, the following message
displays:

Connection was not established to the selected network.
