3.3 WiFi Client Mode
This chapter use computers running Windows 7 and Windows XP to
illustrate how to connect a device to the WS322's WLAN.
What can I do if I cannot access the Internet through a wireless network
adapter?
1.
Check whether the WS323's WLAN indicator is on. If the WLAN indicator
is off, the WLAN function of the router is disabled. Log in to the web
management page, choose Basic > WLAN, and select Enable WLAN.
2.
Check that the WLAN function is enabled on the computer. A computer
running Windows 7 is used as an example: Right-click My Computer,
and choose Manage > Services and Applications > Services, and
check whether WLAN AutoCong is Started. If not, right-click WLAN
AutoCong, and choose Start.
> If the wireless network adapter driver is installed and the network
adapter is enabled, a green icon is displayed next to it.
> If the wireless network adapter is disabled, a red X is displayed
next to it. To enable the network adapter, right-click it and choose
Enable.
> If the network adapter driver is not properly installed, a question
mark or exclamation mark is displayed. In this case, re-install the
network adapter driver.
> If no network adapter is found, right-click any icon, and choose Scan
for hardware changes.
3.
Place the WS323 close to the computer, and make sure that there are
no obstacles, such as concrete or wooden walls, between them.
4.
Go to the wireless network connection list to check whether the
computer is connected to the WLAN set up by the WS323.
5.
Try to access multiple websites to check whether the WS323 can access
other websites.
If the WS323 cannot access other websites, restore the default settings of
the WS323. If the problem persists, contact your network service provider.
What can I do if I cannot access the WS323 conguration page?
1.
Check that the cables, such as the power cable and telephone cable,
are securely connected, and that the LAN port's indicator is on.
2.
Check that the user name and password to access the web management
page are correct.
3.
Check whether the computer's IP address is 192.168.33.x. (x is any integer
from 2 to 254.) If not, see chapter "Setting the Computer's IP Address" to
set the IP address. If the computer cannot properly obtain an IP address,
restart the computer.
4.
Launch the Internet Explorer, choose Tools > Internet Options >
Connections > LAN settings, and ensure that none of the check boxes
are selected.
If the problem persists, restore the WS323 to its factory settings.
What are the meanings of the WS323 signal indicator?
The WS323 signal indicator only works in Wi-Fi repeater and Wi-Fi client
modes.
The number of lightened bars shows the network signal strength. Three
bars mean the network signals are strong, two bars mean the network
signals are good, and one bar means the network signals are weak. It is
recommended that you use the WS323 in a network where the signal
strength is strong or good.
