6 FAQ
This chapter provides solutions to problems that may occur during the
installation and operation of the Wireless USB Adapter.
Read the descriptions below to solve your problems.
1. I cannot communicate with the other computers linked via
Ethernet in the Infrastructure configuration.
Make sure that the PC to which the Adapter is associated is
powered on.
Make sure that your Adapter is configured on the same channel and
with the same security options as with the other computers in the
Infrastructure configuration.
2. What should I do when the computer with the Adapter installed is
unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet?
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are
indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the
broadband connection.
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning
properly. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are
firmly connected.
Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings
are correctly entered for the network.
In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier
(SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and
access points.
Wireless N Adapter RNX-N250PCe Quick Installation Guide
In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID.
Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish
a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients.
This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same
time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established,
rather than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to it.
Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
configured properly.
If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are
entered on both the Adapter and the access point.
