access point. 

n

Security page: Ensure that Encryption is the same on clients and the access point.

n

Authentication page: Ensure that the Local MAC Authentication System Default is 
set to Allow. Ensure that 802.1x Authentication Settings are correct.

n

TCP/IP Settings page: If the DHCP Client is set to Disabled, then ensure that the
