Wireless Connectivity

If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the access point, try to isolate the problem:
• Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?
If not, check the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz LEDs on the front of the access point. They should
be lit. If they are not, you can press the Wireless button on the front of the access point to
turn the access points wireless radios back on.
If you disabled the access point's SSID broadcast, then your wireless network is hidden
and does not display in your wireless client's scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is
enabled.)
• If your wireless device finds the network but you cannot join the network, check to make
sure that your wireless device is compatible with the network that you selected (2.4 GHz
or 5 GHz).
• Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless
network (WPA or WPA2)?

5 GHz a/n) on the Wireless Settings screen and to click the Apply

Wireless Signal Strength

If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these
conditions:
• Is your access point too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near
the access point, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see if the signal strength
improves.
• Is your wireless signal blocked by objects between the access point and your computer?
