If Something Goes Wrong Wireless networking problems 95 ❖ If another device is on the same network, verify that it has network access, and can connect to the Internet. If, for example, the other device cannot browse to a public Web site, the ISP's (Internet Service Provider) service may be disrupted. ❖ Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network name, is correct - i.e., that it matches the SSID assigned to the access point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are case-sensitive. ❖ Check the Windows® Control Panel's Device Manager to verify that the Wi-Fi® adapter is recognized by the Windows® operating system, and that the driver is loaded.
