For Lynksys, D-Link, and Netgear Routers

If you are having trouble configuring your wireless connection,
here are some basic steps to take:

• Is your wireless router (compatible with your ISP)?
• Is the login information entered correctly?
• Are you using a firewall?
• Are you using connection profile software (many times this is installed when you install a new adaptor)?
• Are you adaptor drivers uptodate?
• Is your operating system up todate?

More detailed troubleshooting steps:

1. Does your computer 'see' the network?
   1. Does it see the signal? If it does are you pulling a valid IP address (192.168.X.X)? Also known as connected, no surf.
      • Check your Internet connection with a another computer.
      • Check for firewalls or security software.
      • Are parental controls turned on (controlled through your browser or firewall)?
      • Check your browser.
      • Try to completely re-move and re-create the connection.
