If your wireless router (or access point) uses “MAC address filtering”, be sure to add the wireless MAC address (WLAN) of the bridge.
After you finish configuring your U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg Bridge, you can now connect it to your computer (or other network-ready device, such as a personal video recorder like TiVo).
If the bridge cannot connect to the wireless network, the wrong encryption method may be selected or the key may be entered incorrectly. If you’re connecting to a wireless router (or access point), double-check its settings to ensure you’ve entered the settings correctly on the bridge. Make sure your bridge has “Infrastructure” selected as the network type.
You should also make certain that the bridge and the wireless router (or access point) are positioned so that their transmissions can reach each other.
If the bridge cannot connect to another wireless network, the wrong encryption method may be selected, the wrong channel may be selected, the MAC address or the key may be entered incorrectly. If you’re connecting to a wireless router (or access point), double-check its settings to ensure you’ve entered the settings correctly on the bridge and verify that the wireless router (or access point) supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System). Make sure your bridge has “Bridge” selected as the network type.
If the bridge cannot connect to another wireless adapter, the wrong encryption method may be selected, the wrong channel may be selected or the key may be entered incorrectly. If you’re connecting to a wireless adapter, double-check its settings to ensure you’ve entered the settings correctly on the bridge. Make sure your bridges have “Ad hoc” selected as the network type.
