Wireless Connection Troubleshooting Tips

1. It is critical that the laptop connects to a website before attempting to use e-mail.

• Try visiting a public website, such as www.gmail.com or www.yahoo.com to ensure that you can successfully browse the web.

2. The Signal Strength of the Access point is strongest near the window.

Please note that if receiving a weak signal, try a location closer to the window. Also, the human body blocks wireless signals. If you are having difficulty obtaining a strong signal, try to ensure that you are not sitting between the laptop and the window.

3. Some laptops will operate the wireless network card at a reduced strength to conserve battery power. The laptop should be plugged into an AC outlet to get maximum power.

High-Speed Internet Access

The Desk Hub makes connecting to High-Speed Internet Access instantaneous. Just connect the wall mounted Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the laptop. No access code is needed.
