Troubleshoot WiFi connectivity for a WiFi
client device
If a WiFi client device cannot connect to the access point or the WiFi connectivity is not
normal, try to isolate the problem:
• Make sure that the WiFi settings in the WiFi client device and access point match
exactly.
The WiFi network name (SSID) and WiFi security settings of the access point and
WiFi device must match exactly. Make sure that the WiFi client device uses the correct
passphrase for the WiFi network.
For information about accessing the access point for initial configuration over a WiFi
connection, see Connect to the access point for initial configuration on page 21.
• Does the WiFi client device support the authentication and encryption that you
configured for the WiFi network?
