I am unable to communicate with the Wireless MAXg Range Extender.

Possible Solution:

Be certain that you have each wireless PC card, PCI adapter, or USB adapter set to Infrastructure mode. Verify that you are using the same Network Name (SSID) and Security information as the Wireless MAXg Range Extender. Refer to your wireless PC card’s, PCI adapter’s, or USB adapter’s documentation to determine how to change these settings.

Possible Solution:

Your Wireless MAXg Range Extender may not be responding. Try unplugging the power supply and then plugging it back in to restart the Range Extender.

Possible Solution:

Your Wireless MAXg Range Extender may not have received a valid IP address for your network. If the IP address is set to Dynamic, make sure you have the Range Extender connected to a network device with DHCP enabled. If it is not connected to a network device with DHCP enabled, the Range Extender will not receive an IP address and you will not be able to connect to it. If you use a static IP address, verify that the static IP address is in the same subnet as your computer’s IP address. Refer to the LAN chapter of the Web User Interface section in the User Guide for more information about changing the IP address.

Possible Solution:

Your Wireless MAXg Range Extender may not be responding. Try restoring the factory default settings of the Range Extender to reactivate it. If you restore the factory default settings, the Range Extender will lose any custom settings. Press in and hold the RESET button for between five and ten seconds. If you made any custom configuration settings, you will need to make the changes again or restore your settings if you created a backup file.
