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. The Wireless USB Adapter does not work properly.  
Reinsert the Wireless USB Adapter into your PC’s USB slot. Right click My  
Computer and select Properties. Select the device manager and click on the  
Network Adapter. You will find the Adapter if it is installed successfully. If you see  
the yellow exclamation mark, the resources are conflicting. You will see the  
status of the Adapter. If there is a yellow question mark, please check the  
following:  
Make sure that you have inserted the right adapter and installed the proper driver.  
If the Adapter does not function after attempting the above steps, remove the  
adapter and do the following:  
Uninstall the driver software from your PC through Control Panel’s “Add or  
Remove Programs”.  
Restart your PC and repeat the hardware and software installation as specified in  
this User Guide.  
2. 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.  
3. 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.  
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.
