The Smart Wizard keeps asking me to save my settings
This is because you have made changes to the settings and the Smart Wizard is offering you the
chance to save the changes. If you want to avoid these Profile setting prompts, simply click Apply
before you close the Smart Wizard.
Symptom Cause Solution
I can connect to an
access point, but I
cannot connect to
other computers on
the network or the
Internet.
This could be a
physical layer
problem or a network
configuration
problem.
Check to make sure that the access point is physically
connected to the Ethernet network.
Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows networking
parameters are all configured correctly.
Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and
notebook PC.
