Troubleshooting
AT&T Plug&Share ™ 54 Mbps Wireless Router 6800G 69
Problem Solution
Other wireless devices
cannot connect to the router
• Check the Wireless icon (4 stacked bars) in the System Tray
at the bottom right corner of your screen. If there is an “X”
over the icon, see “No Access to Router” on previous page. If
the icon is white, try the following steps:
• Double-click on the Wireless icon. Click on the Site Survey
tab. Click the Refresh button. Select a router or access point,
then click Connect.
• If you still have no connection, click on the Wizard tab. Verify
that settings for SSID, Channel, and WEP (if enabled) are
identical for the router and the wireless adapter.
• If you still have no connection, click on the Configuration
tab. Verify that settings for SSID and Channel are identical for
the router and the wireless adapter.
• Make sure the router and adapter are close enough to
connect (150-300 feet without obstructions).
• Check the DHCP table to see if the adapter is listed (see
page 21).
• Ping adapter addresses in the DCHP table (see page 37).
• If these remedies do not work, reinstall the adapter software
from the original CD-ROM.
