232 If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict ❖ Check Control Panel's Device Manager to verify that the Wi-Fi adapter is recognized by Windows®, and that the driver is loaded.

If your connection problem disappears, the problem lies in the Wi-Fi part of your network. ❖ Use the PING command to verify a connection to the gateway at 192.168.1.1 (a default gateway for most wireless routers).
