2. The wireless client cannot access the Internet in the Infrastructure mode.
Make sure the wireless client is associated and joined with the correct Access Point. To
check this connection: Right-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the taskbar>
select View Available Wireless Networks. The Connect to Wireless Network screen
will appear. Please make sure you have selected the correct available network, as shown
in the illustrations below.

Check that the
IP Address
assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same
IP
Address range as the access point and gateway. (Since the 11g WIRELESS LAN
ACCESS POINT has an IP Address of 10.0.0.1, wireless adapters must have an IP
Address in the same range, e.g., 10.0.0.x. Each device must have a unique IP
Address; no two devices may have the same IP Address. The subnet mask must be
the same for all the computers on the network.)
To check the
IP Address
assigned
to the wireless adapter, double-click on the Local Area Connection icon in the
taskbar > select the Support tab and the IP Address will be displayed. (Please
refer to Checking the IP Address in the Networking Basics section of this
manual.)
n If it is necessary to assign a Static IP Address to the wireless adapter, please refer
to the appropriate section in Networking Basics. If you are entering a DNS Server
address you must also enter the Default Gateway Address. (Remember that if you
have a DHCP-capable router, you will not need to assign a Static IP Address. See
Networking Basics: Assigning a Static IP Address.
