Connection Checklist

Check
Check 1
Before connecting the machine, are the computer and network device (router, access point, etc.) configured and can the computer connect to the network?
Configure the computer and network device.
• For the procedures, refer to the manuals supplied with the computer and network device, or contact their manufacturers.
Check 2
Are the machine and network device (router, access point, etc.) turned on?
Turn on each device.
If the machine is already turned on, turn it off, then turn it back on.
Check 3
Are the access point and machine installed in an open space where wireless communications are possible? Also, is there a microwave oven, refrigerator, etc. nearby?
Install them in an open space with as few obstacles as possible.
Leave some space between the installation location and a microwave oven, refrigerator, etc. so that its radio waves will not affect those from the access point.
Check 4
Is the access point operating in IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11n (2.4 GHz)?
• For details on how to check the operating mode of the access point, refer to the manual supplied with the access point or contact its manufacturer.
Set the access point to operate in IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11n (2.4 GHz).
• For details on how to change the operating mode of the access point, refer to the manual supplied with the access point or contact its manufacturer.
