shooting steps.

The Wireless Broadband Router is properly installed, LAN con-
nections are OK, and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Broadband 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 Broadband 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 Broadband 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 Broadband 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 Broadband Router's status screen to see if it
is working correctly.
