settings?"

What can I do if I cannot access the Internet over a wireless connection?

Step 1

Check that all cables are securely connected, such as the power

adapter cable and the telephone line.

Step 2

Check whether the

WLAN

indicator is on.

If the

WLAN

indicator is off, the wireless network function is

disabled, and you need to turn on the wireless network function.

Step 3

Read the user guide of the wireless network adapter, and

check whether the wireless network adapter supports the 802.11b,

802.11g, or 802.11n protocol.

If the wireless network adapter does not support any of the

preceding protocol, replace it.

Step 4

Check whether the driver for the wireless network adapter is

correctly installed.

If the driver is not correctly installed, re-install it using the driver

program provided with the wireless network adapter.

Step 5

Check whether the computer receives wireless signals properly.

The following example uses the computer running the Windows XP

operating system to check wireless signal reception:

1. Choose

Start

Control

Panel

Double-click

Network

Connections

2. In the

Network Connections

window, right-click

Wireless

Network Connection

, and choose

View Available Wireless

Networks

If the computer cannot find the wireless network, move the

computer closer to the HG532s. Check that there are no obstacles,

such as walls, between the computer and the HG532s.

Step 6

Check whether the computer is connected to the HG532s's wireless

network. On the wireless network list, check whether the

HG532s's wireless network is displayed as

Connected

Step 7

Check that PPP dial-up software is installed and parameters are set

correctly.

Step 8

Check that you can use the PPP dial-up software to set up dial-up

connection.

Step 9

Try to access more websites to check whether the HG532s can

access these websites.

If you still cannot access the websites, restore the HG532s to its

default settings. If the problem persists, contact your network

service provider.

What can I do if sometimes the terminal cannot access the Internet over

a wireless connection or if the wireless connection is unstable?

Step 1

Check the positions of the HG532s and the computer. Ensure that

they are located far from the electric appliances such as microwave

ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones that generate strong

magnetic or electric fields.

Step 2

Place the HG532s in an open area.

Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, their

transmission is affected if they pass through too many obstacles

such as walls.

Step 3

Move the computer closer to the HG532s.

Step 4

Place the HG532s and the computer in another direction.

Step 5

Try to avoid using wireless network connection during

thunderstorms.

What can I do if the wireless network is not encrypted but the computer

cannot connect to the wireless network?

Step 1

Does the WPS function have any special requirements on the wireless

encryption settings of the HG532s?

The WPS function can be used only when the security mode of the wireless

network is set to

WPA-PSK

WPA2-PSK

, or

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

, and the

SSID is set to

SSID1

. It is recommended that you set the security mode to

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

What can I do if I cannot set up a wireless connection between the HG532s

and the computer by pressing the

WPS

button?

Step 1

Check that only one computer tries to connect to the HG532s using

the WPS function at a time.

Step 2

Check that the wires network function and the WPS function in PBC

mode are enabled on the HG532s.

Step 3

Check that the security mode of the wireless network is set to

WPA-PSK

WPA2-PSK

, or

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

, and

SSID

set to

SSID1

Note that the WPS function is forcibly disabled if the wireless

network uses the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

Step 4

Check the positions of the HG532s and the computer. Ensure that

they are far from the electric appliances such as microwave ovens,

refrigerators, or cordless telephones that generate strong magnetic

or electric fields.

Step 5

Place the HG532s in an open area.

Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, their

transmission is affected if they pass through too many obstacles

such as walls.
