My WE800G cannot associate with the wireless access point/router.

! Ensure that your WE800G and the wireless access
point/wireless router have the same security settings that
enable your computer to access the wireless network.
Section 2: Configure Your Wireless Security Settings
describes how to adjust security settings. Some of the key
settings are:
ESS Auth Mode (Open versus Pre-Shared Key (PSK))
!
! Encryption status (none, 64WEP, 128WEP)
! Content of Passphrase if the Passphrase option is
selected
! Active key (1-4 for 64WEP, 1-2 for 128WEP)
! Actual key value for the current active key
! SSID. The WE800G must have the exact SSID as the
wireless access point/wireless router. For Motorola
wireless access points or wireless routers, the default
SSID is "motorola xyz", where "xyz" is the last three digits
of the wireless access point/wireless router's MAC
address. The SSID is case sensitive. Make sure there are
no trailing spaces.
The WE800G must be set to match the wireless access
point/wireless router for those settings
! As a suggestion, it may be easier to set the wireless access
point/wireless router's security to open system and no encryption
and set the WE800G accordingly. After making sure the WE800G
can work under this condition, turn on the security features on the
wireless access point/wireless router and then turn on the
security features on the WE800G and try again.

I would like to see if my Internet connection is alive.

For this, you will use the ping command to test the connection.
Before attempting, ensure that Obtain an IP address automatically
has been selected in the computer's settings and that you have an
IP address assigned. Refer to the configuration information that came
with your router.
