User Manual for the NETGEAR WGE111 Wireless Game Adapter
Troubleshooting 5-3
My gaming console
or remote computer
cannot connect to
the Internet.
There is a problem
connecting to the
wireless router.
• Make sure Internet light is on solidly. If not,
see the previous symptom/solution. Make sure
the gaming console or remote computer has a
correct IP address with the same IP subnet
address as the wireless router or access point.
• Turn the wireless game adapter off and then
back on. Recheck the IP address for the
gaming console or remote computer.
• Turn off all devices. Then, power on the
wireless router (or access point), wait, and then
power on the wireless game adapter. Check
that the wireless game adapter connects to the
wireless router or access point. If it connects,
power on the gaming console or remote
computer.
My computer cannot
communicate with
my wireless game
adapter.
The most likely
reason is a network
configuration
problem.
• Check that the wireless-enabled computer is on
the same wireless network as the wireless
game adapter.
• Make sure the Network Name (SSID), WEP
key (if WEP is enabled), and country/region
selection are the same for all devices
connected to the same wireless network.
• If the computer is connected to the wireless
game adapter through a switch or hub, try
connecting it directly to the WGE111 Wireless
Game Adapter.
I can't get the
configuration utility
to show the wireless
game adapter.
-or-
I can't open the
configuration
software with my
browser.
This could be a
network
configuration
problem or a
hardware
connection
problem.
• If the wireless LAN setting are correct, make
sure all the devices are on the same IP network.
• Make sure the Ethernet cable connectors are
plugged into the computer and wireless game
adapter securely. You may need to change the
IP address of your computer temporarily to
change the wireless game adapter's IP address.
• Reset to factory defaults.
Note: Some older Ethernet adapters may not be
compatible with the Ethernet MAC address of the
wireless game adapter.
