Solution 2: Establish a good signal between the product and wireless router
(infrastructure) or computer (ad hoc)

Solution: In order to establish a good signal between the product and wireless
router (infrastructure) or computer (ad hoc), you might have to experiment a bit.
Assuming the equipment is functioning properly, try doing the following things
separately or in combination:

If your computer or wireless router and the product are placed far apart, move
them closer together.

If there are metal objects (such as a metal bookcase or refrigerator) in the
transmission path, clear the path between the product and the computer or
wireless router.

If a cordless telephone, microwave, or other device that emits radio signals
transmitting at 2.4 GHz is nearby, move it farther away to reduce radio
interference.

If your computer or wireless router is near an external wall, move them away from
the wall.

Cause: The wireless router (infrastructure) or computer (ad hoc) was too far from
the product or there was interference.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Check if your network name (SSID) is at the bottom of the SSID list

Solution: Press the down arrow to scroll to the bottom of the list. Infrastructure
entries are listed first, ad hoc last.
Cause: Your network name (SSID) was at the bottom of the SSID list that was
displayed when you installed the product on a wireless network.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 4: Unplug the Ethernet cable

Solution: When an Ethernet cable is plugged into the product, the wireless radio
turns off. Unplug the Ethernet cable.
Cause: An Ethernet cable was connected to the product.
