I am unable to communicate with an access point or wireless router.

Possible Solution:

Be sure that each Wireless MAXg PC Card or PCI Adapter that you want to connect to the wireless network is set to Infrastructure mode within the Configuration Utility. If your Wireless MAXg PC Cards or PCI Adapters are not set to Infrastructure mode, they will not be able to communicate with an access point or wireless router.

Possible Solution:

Determine the MAC address of the desired wireless router or access point. The MAC address is usually located on a label on the wireless routers and access points. Check the MAC address and verify that you are connecting to the correct wireless router or access point.

Possible Solution:

Ensure that the Configuration Utility is installed for your Wireless MAXg PC Card or PCI Adapter and that the Configuration Utility detects your Wireless MAXg PC Card or PCI Adapter.

Possible Solution:

Ensure that the correct Authentication Mode and encryption key are being used. If you changed the settings in the configuration of your wireless router or access point, you must also change the settings of every Wireless MAXg PC Card or PCI Adapter attached to this network. The settings of your Wireless MAXg PC Card or PCI Adapter must match the new settings of the wireless router or access point. If you are still experiencing difficulties, reset all of your wireless routers or access points and wireless network adapters to the default settings and try again.
