The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are
OK, and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same
network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the
case.)
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP
client), restart it.
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using
an IP Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and
thus compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of
192.168.0.1.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match
the Wireless Router.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Pan-
el-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP
settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check
the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP
Address.
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to
it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN
and power connections.)
Check the Wireless Router's status screen to see if it is working
correctly.
