Troubleshooting

Universal Dual Band WiFi Internet Adapter (WNCE3001)

If the problem continues, make sure that your Ethernet cable is securely connected to the

Internet adapter and the computer, and that the LED on the computer’s Ethernet port is

on. If it is not, reconnect the Ethernet cable, and relaunch your Internet browser.

Connect to Wireless Networks

To join a wireless network, you need to know its network name (also called the SSID) so that

you can select it. If the network is secure, you need to 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.

If this happens, it could be due to one of these reasons:

• If you are unable to join the wireless network, it is possible that the network name,

passphrase, or key was typed incorrectly. Click Cancel, use the Smart Wizard to select

the network from the list, and retype the passphrase or key. This is case-sensitive.

PASSWORD25 is not the same as Password25 or password25. See Use the Smart

Wizard to Change the Setup on page 10.

• If the Smart Wizard does not find your wireless network (it is not displayed in the Select

Existing Network screen), check to see if your wireless network is still up and running.

Make sure the router is turned on. If possible, move the Internet adapter closer to the

router, and click Try Again. If after repeated attempts to connect you are still seeing this

message, you might need to upgrade your router to one that provides greater wireless

range, or purchase a range extender to extend its wireless range to your location.

• If the Internet adapter LED is red, this could indicate a poor wireless connection, or it

could mean that no data is being sent over the wireless link.

- First, try using your computer to access the Internet. See if the LED turns a different

color when data is sent wirelessly.

- If the wireless connection is poor, check the location of the Internet adapter and the

router. The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between

the Internet adapter and the router you are connecting to. Make sure there are no

physical obstacles between the Internet adapter and the router, and try to move the

Internet adapter closer to the router.
