4-2

v3.0, January 2007

Throughput is only 54 Mbps. The WPN511 Wireless PC Card 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

WPN511 Wireless PC Card.

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 WPN511 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 WPN511

Software” in Chapter 1 or “Upgrading the WPN511 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 WPN511 Wireless PC Card IP address, click the

WPN511 icon to open the Smart Wizard. Then check the IP

address in the About page.

No IP address is assigned to the WPN511

Wireless PC Card.

This may occur if you upgraded your WPN511 Wireless PC

Card 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.
