1. See
"For wireless connections"
2. If you have enabled MAC filtering on the access point, make sure that your
computer is permitted to connect to the access point. Note that MAC filtering
refers to specific wireless adapters. If you use MAC filtering and have changed
wireless adapters, you must add the MAC address of the new wireless adapter to
the MAC filtering list on the access point.
Verify the Connection between the Access Point and Your Other
Networking Device
1. On the device to which the access point is connected by ethernet cable, check the
power and status LEDs. Verify that the device is powered on and connected to the
Internet. Refer to the device's documentation for information on its status
indicators.
2. If the access point is configured to get an IP address dynamically, make sure that
the networking device has a DHCP server running.
3. If the access point is connected directly to your modem, check the modem
documentation to determine whether the access point needs to have a static IP,
gateway, and DNS entries or will get the network address using DHCP; then
make sure that the access point is configured accordingly.
4. Ping the router or other networking device. If the ping returns a reply, the access
point is reaching the networking device. Refer to the device's documentation for
debugging the connection between the device and your Internet Service Provider.
