See Power Connection Options on page  6.Connect to http://www.mywifiext.netWhen I launched my browser, I got an error page. What can I do?•     Make sure that you include http:// when you type this URL in the address field of your Internet browser. If you leave it out, you might not be able to connect.If the setup page is not displayed, type either http://www.mywifiext.net, http://www.mywifiext.com, http://mywifiext.net, or http://mywifiext.com as the browser address. You can use any of these four browser addresses to log in to the Internet adapter. Note: Internet Explorer records the browser address. If the Internet adapter’s IP address subsequently changes and you are still using Internet Explorer, you have to use one of the other browser addresses to access the device.•     If you started up your computer, connected the Ethernet cable to the Internet adapter, and launched your browser quickly, the computer might still need a couple of minutes to recognize the Ethernet LAN connection and obtain the IP address.Also check your Ethernet network adapter icon in the system tray connected on Windows XP, or check the Network and Sharing Center on Windows Vista and Windows 7, to find out if the Ethernet network adapter has obtained an IP address.Try launching your browser again.
Troubleshooting22Universal Dual Band WiFi Internet Adapter (WNCE3001) If the problem continues, make sure that your Ethernet cable is securely connected to the Internet adapter and the computer, and that the LED on the computer’s Ethernet port is on. If it is not, reconnect the Ethernet cable, and relaunch your Internet browser.Connect to Wireless NetworksTo join a wireless network, you need to know its network name (also called the SSID) so that you can select it. If the network is secure, you need to know the passphrase or wireless key. If the Internet adapter does not connect to the network that you chose, the following message displays:Connection was not established to the selected network.If this happens, it could be due to one of these reasons:•     If you are unable to join the wireless network, it is possible that the network name, passphrase, or key was typed incorrectly. Click Cancel, use the Smart Wizard to select the network from the list, and retype the passphrase or key. This is case-sensitive. PASSWORD25 is not the same as Password25 or password25. See Use the Smart Wizard to Change the Setup on page  10.•     If the Smart Wizard does not find your wireless network (it is not displayed in the Select Existing Network screen), check to see if your wireless network is still up and running. Make sure the router is turned on. If possible, move the Internet adapter closer to the router, and click Try Again. If after repeated attempts to connect you are still seeing this message, you might need to upgrade your router to one that provides greater wireless range, or purchase a range extender to extend its wireless range to your location.•     If the Internet adapter LED is red, this could indicate a poor wireless connection, or it could mean that no data is being sent over the wireless link. -First, try using your computer to access the Internet. See if the LED turns a different color when data is sent wirelessly.-If the wireless connection is poor, check the location of the Internet adapter and the router. The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the Internet adapter and the router you are connecting to. Make sure there are no physical obstacles between the Internet adapter and the router, and try to move the Internet adapter closer to the router.
