Link LED is blinking slowly; Cannot connect to a wireless
network or the Internet
If your Card appears to be functioning properly, but you cannot
connect to a network or you have a red wireless icon at the
bottom of your screen, the problem may be that there is a
mismatch between the network name (SSID) settings in your
wireless network properties.
Check the SSID settings to see if they match. The SSID is
case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer must be
exactly the same in order for the Card to connect to the
Wireless Router or Access Point.
Note:
To check the SSID settings or look for an available
network, double-click the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the
“Wireless Networks” screen. Click “Add” if you do not see the
network you are trying to connect to and type in the SSID.
For more information about setting up a SSID please reference
your router manufactures user manual. If issues persist even at
close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
