Wireless Card Will Not Associate
Your wireless connection requires a network identifier called an SSID in order to use our access points. If your wireless card will not associate, it is most likely because your SSID is typed incorrectly.
 

 

If you have a Cisco-Aironet Wireless card do the following:

1. Go to Start | Programs | Cisco Systems | Aironet Client Utility.

2. Go to the Command menu and select Edit Properties

3. On the first screen that appears, double check your SSID.

4. If your SSID is typed in correctly, contact us at (970) 522-8107.

If you have a Linksys Card do the following: (note - we no longer distribute Linksys Cards)

1. On the taskbar where your clock is find the icon for the Linksys Configuration Utility and double click it to open.

2. Double check your SSID.

3. If your SSID is typed in correctly, contact us at (970) 522-8107.

Other things that may cause your wireless card to fail to associate would be a kink in or damage to your wireless cable, obstruction of line-of-sight (trees, buildings) to the access point, improper mounting of your antenna, or use of too long a cable (signal loss in the cable) or too small an antenna.

Wireless Card Associates, But Internet Will Not Work
If the card associates but still will not bring up webpages or e-mail, you may want to double check your TCP/IP settings.

In these instances, you should call our support number and speak with a technician.

Slow Speeds
The following things can cause slow connections:

Obstructions in your line-of-sight (trees, buildings, hills)
Extremely dense fog or heavy precipitation
Bad or loose connectors on your cable (contact us for this problem)
Viruses

If you are not experiencing any of the above problems, contact us at (970) 522-8107.
