Troubleshooting

Throughput is only 54 Mbps.

The WN311T Wireless PCI Adapter can operate at faster
speeds. You are probably connecting to a standard 802.11g
network. See

Chapter 3, “Wireless Network Performance”

for

help in understanding how to get the best performance from
your WN311T Wireless PCI Adapter.

The Smart Wizard keeps asking me to save
settings.

If you change the settings the Smart Wizard offers you the
chance to save the changes. To avoid this prompt, simply click
Apply

before you close the Smart Wizard.

Two WN311T icons are in the system tray.

You have an older software version installed on your system
and it needs to be removed. See

“Removing the WN311T

Software” in Chapter 1

or

“Upgrading the WN311T Software”

in Chapter 1

.

I can connect to the access point, but not
the other computers on the network or to
the Internet.

This could be a physical layer problem or a network
configuration problem.
1. Check to make sure that the access point is physically

connected to the Ethernet network.

2. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows

networking parameters are all configured correctly. See
the link to

“Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:” in

Appendix B

.

3. Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and

computer.

Viewing the IP address.

To view the WN311T Wireless PCI Adapter IP address, click
the WN311T icon to open the Smart Wizard. Then check the
IP address in the About page.

No IP address is assigned to the WN311T
Wireless PCI Adapter.

This may occur if you upgraded your WN311T Wireless PCI
Adapter software and did not reboot your system.
• Either restart your computer, or connect to a different access

point.

• It does not usually help to shut down the Smart Wizard or

disable/enable the card.
