If access restrictions are set, register the product's MAC address on the router. To obtain the MAC address, print a Network Status Sheet (see page 33). Then see your router's manual for instructions. ■ If your wireless router or access point doesn't broadcast its network name (SSID), manually enter your wireless network name. If your wireless router or access point has wireless security enabled, you will also need to know what kind of security it is using. ■ If your wireless router has security enabled, make sure you entered the WEP key or WPA passphrase correctly. Contact your router manufacturer for assistance. ■ Remove and reinsert the CD to reinstall your product software. ■ Reset the network settings and try connecting to your network again.
