Network Problems

Wireless Connections

If the network connection is lost — The

wireless router is offline or wireless has been

disabled on the computer.

Check your wireless router to ensure it is

powered on and connected to your data

source (cable modem or network hub).
Re‑establish your connection to the

wireless router (see “Setting Up a Wireless

Connection” on page 16).

Wired Connections

If the network connection is lost

Check the cable to ensure it is plugged in

and not damaged.
Check the status of the link integrity light.

The link integrity light on the integrated network

connector lets you verify that your connection is

working and provides information on the status:

Off — The computer is not detecting a

physical connection to the network.
Green — A good connection exists between

a 10/100‑Mbps network and the computer.
Amber — A good connection exists between

a 1000‑Mbps network and the computer.

NOTE: The link integrity light on the network

connector is only for the wired cable

connection. The link integrity light does not

provide status for wireless connections.
