I cannot access the NAP or ping any computer from the WLAN.
Make sure the wireless LAN (wireless radio) is enabled on the NAP.

Make sure the wireless adapter (installed on your computer) is working properly.

Make sure the wireless adapter (installed on your computer) is IEEE 802.11 compatible and supports the

same wireless standard as the NAP's active radio.
Make sure your computer (with a wireless adapter installed) is within the transmission range of the NAP.

Hackers have accessed my WEP-encrypted wireless LAN.
WEP is extremely insecure. Its encryption can be broken by an attacker, using widely-available software.
It is strongly recommended that you use a more effective security mechanism. Use the strongest security
mechanism that all the wireless devices in your network support. WPA2 or WPA2-PSK is recommended.
