• If the device does not automatically connect to a known network, select
your Wi-Fi network from the list. If the device does not detect your Wi-Fi
network, continue to the next step.
• Try connecting to the Wi-Fi network with another computer or device.
• If you cannot connect using the other device, there may be a
problem with your Internet connection or wireless router. Unplug
the modem and the wireless router and reboot the modem. Once
the modem re-establishes an Internet connection, plug in the
wireless router and try connecting again. If you still can't connect
with the other device or computer, contact your Internet service

• If you can connect with the other device, but not with the device,
continue with the next step.
• Does your Wi-Fi network use a compatible router? The device is
compatible only with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless protocols and
cannot connect to an 802.11a or 802.11n network unless it is
backwards compatible with 802.11b/g.
• Does your Wi-Fi network use the WEP security option? If yes, you must
enter the passcode in hex characters on your device instead of in
alphanumeric characters. You can locate the hex passcode by logging
into the Wi-Fi router. The router has several hex passcodes; you must
locate and use the passcode associated with the key index. Because
each router has a unique method to perform this task, consult your
router documentation for detailed instructions.
• Does your Wi-Fi network use MAC address filtering? MAC address
filtering is a common method of securing a Wi-Fi network. The filter list
is similar to a guest list at a party; if you're not on the list, you can't
come in. The filter list (allowing access to your network) lives on your
Wi-Fi router. If your Wi-Fi network uses MAC address filtering, you need
to log in to the Wi-Fi router and add your device's MAC address to the
access control list. Because each router has a unique method to perform
this task, consult your router documentation for detailed instructions. To
find your device's MAC address:
