If you cannot open the wireless monitor utility, make sure that the PCI adapter is inserted firmly into the PCI slot. 2. If you cannot connect to the wireless router, you may want to double check the wireless security settings on the router. The security key you entered into the Wireless Monitor utility must match with the settings on the wireless router. 3. If you are experiencing problems with the connection such as low signal strength, slow connection speed, or unstable wireless connection, you can try to tune your router's signal by changing the channels on the router and/or by adjusting the direction of the antenna(s). You do not need to change the channel on the Adapter; it will automatically pick up the new channel after you reboot the router. Your router has 11 different channels to choose from. Keep going through the channels until you find one that gives you a stable connection. For instructions on changing channels, refer to the documentation that comes with the router. 21
