    What to do if NETGEAR PCI Card connects to access point but not internet?
    • J
      John CruzJul 26, 2025
      If your NETGEAR PCI Card connects to the access point but not to the other computers on the network or the Internet, check that the access point is physically connected to the Ethernet network. Also, ensure that the IP addresses and Windows networking parameters are configured correctly. Restarting the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and computer may also resolve the issue.

    Why NETGEAR RangeMax WPN311 PCI Card wireless LED blinks but won't connect to access point?
    • A
      Alexander LeeJul 31, 2025
      If the wireless LED on your NETGEAR PCI Card blinks but it's not connecting to an access point, the access point may not be powered on, so check that first. Another reason might be that the access point and the WPN311 are not configured with the same wireless parameters. Check the SSID and wireless security settings to ensure they match.

      John KirkAug 4, 2025
      If the LED on your NETGEAR PCI Card is not lit, the WPN311 might not be installed properly in the PCI slot, or the software isn't loaded. Try removing and reinstalling the WPN311. Check the Windows device manager to see if the WPN311 is recognized and enabled. If necessary, reload the WPN311 software. You can also try installing the WPN311 in a different PCI slot in your computer if one is available.
