access point and the Ethernet LAN or broadband modem.
• The LAN LED does not light if the link is 10 Mbps. In such cases, the LAN LED will still
blink if there is activity.
• Make sure that the connected device is turned on.

There is a configuration problem. Check these items:
• You might not have restarted the computer with the wireless adapter to have TCP/IP changes
take effect. Restart the computer.
• The computer with the wireless adapter might not have the correct TCP/IP settings to
communicate with the network. Restart the computer, and check that TCP/IP is set up
correctly for that network. In Windows, the usual setting for Network Properties is "Obtain an
IP address automatically (DHCP client)."
