Common Problems and Solutions
Q: I can’t connect to the Access Point.
● Make sure that the notebook or desktop is powered on and the Wireless USB
Network Adapter is properly connected.
● Make sure that your Network Adapter is configured on the same channel, SSID,
and WEP as the other computers in the Infrastructure configuration.
Q: LEDs are flickering.
● Red should be continuously on. If it flickers, make sure that USB cable is
securely plugged into the USB port.
● Green should be continuously on. If it flickers, the device may not have booted
properly or there may be a strong interfering signal. Disconnect and connect the
device again.
● Yellow should flicker, indicating that the radio is alternating between transmit &
receive modes.
Q: LEDs do not light up at all.
A: Make sure that the USB cable is properly connected and the PC is powered on.
Q: Windows seems to hang when reconnecting airNIC.
A: Windows takes some time to enumerate USB devices when it is connected to the
computer. Wait about 20 seconds between disconnecting and connecting devices
to give Windows time to update the internal registry settings.
Q: All the USB ports on my PC are already connected to other USB devices.
A: Use a self-powered USB hub. It is possible to connect up to 128 USB peripherals
to a PC by using the USB hub.
Q: airNIC does not work when connected through a USB hub.
A: Please ensure that the USB Hub has power connection. airNIC is a USB
powered device. It consumes more than 360mA when in operating mode.
Therefore, it cannot be used downstream of an un-powered hub. airNIC may
enumerate correctly, but the Operating System will prevent it from becoming fully
functional.
