5 TROUBLESHOOTING  
5.1 Problems Encountered When Installing the Drivers  
Errors while installing the drivers  
If your computer cannot find the Technicolor TG122n or the driver software does not install correctly, check the following:  
Make sure the Technicolor TG122n is securely connected with the USB port. Check for any hardware problems, such as  
physical damage to the card’s connector.  
Tr y t h e Te c h n i c o l o r TG 1 2 2 n i n a n other USB port. If this also fails, test your computer with another wireless USB adapter  
that is known to operate correctly.  
Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS, check the manual of your computer for details.  
If there are other network adapters in the computer, they may be in conflict. Remove the other network adapters from the  
computer and test the wireless adapter separately.  
Check for a defective computer or USB connection by trying the adapter in another computer that is known to operate  
correctly.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING  
5.2 Problems Encountered When Connecting To Your  
Wireless Network  
The Link LED does not light  
If the Link LED on the Technicolor TG122n does not light, or if you cannot access any network resources from the computer,  
check the following:  
Make sure the driver and utility software is installed correctly. If necessary, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the  
software.  
Make sure the computer and other network devices are powered on.  
The access point that you are connecting to might be defective. Try connecting to another access point.  
If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the network, check that you have enabled and configured the  
service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server, be sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and  
password.  
If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured your system for TCP/IP.  
The Technicolor TG122n does not connect to my wireless access point  
If your Technicolor TG122n cannot communicate with a device in the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure  
mode, check the following:  
Make sure the access point that the Technicolor TG122n is associated with is powered on.  
Check the SSID of the access point that you are connecting to, and make sure you set the Technicolor TG122n to the  
same SSID.  
If there is still no connection, change the radio channel of the access point and all the clients associated to this access  
point.  
Check if the WEP or WPA settings have been enabled in the access point to which you are connecting to. Make sure that  
the encryption, default key and passphrase settings of the adapter are set to the same as the access point. Contact your  
network administrator for more information.  
Windows XP cannot configure the wireless connection
