Chapter 10. Troubleshooting: I Can’t Connect at All

Start here if you cannot get the computer and router to connect at all. If you can connect sometimes but not others, skip to the next chapter.

Before jumping into troubleshooting, let’s first take a look at what happens during the steps when your wireless NIC connects to your wireless router and at what can go wrong during that process.
