Troubleshooting

7-9

The first steps in solving wireless connection problems are:

1. Using your wireless card’s setup utility program, make sure your wireless card can find your 

wireless router.

2. Configure and test with the simplest wireless connection possible, and then add security.

The topics in this section describe these steps.

When you install a NETGEAR wireless card in your computer, a Smart Wizard utility program is 
installed that can provide helpful information about your wireless network. You can find this 
program in your Windows program menu or as an icon in your system tray. Other wireless card 
manufacturers may include a similar program. 

If you have no specific wireless card setup program installed, you can use the basic setup utility in 
Windows by following these steps:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel and select Network Connections.

2. Under the LAN section, double-click Wireless Network Connection.

Use the setup program to scan for available wireless networks. Look for a Network Name (SSID) 
of NETGEAR or your custom SSID if you have changed it. If your wireless network does not 
appear, check these conditions:

•

Is your router’s wireless radio enabled? See 

•

Is your router’s SSID Broadcast enabled? See 

•

Is your router set to a wireless standard that is not supported by your wireless card? Check the 
Mode setting in 

.

If your wireless network appears, but the signal strength is weak, check these conditions:

•

Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the router, 
but at least six feet away and see whether the signal strength improves.

•

Is your wireless signal obstructed by objects between the router and your computer? See 

.

If your wireless network appears and has good signal strength, configure your wireless card and 
router for the simplest possible connection as described in the next section.
