What to do if nothing appears on the display when the SMC Networks 802.11g is switched on?
- P
  Paula PowersJul 26, 2025
  If nothing appears on the display, it could be due to several reasons: 1. **Power Issue**: Ensure the power cable is properly connected and the power is switched on. 2. **Network Recognition**: Verify the MAC address for the SMCWAA-G has been correctly entered in the wireless network’s MAC Access Control. Then, turn the device off and on again. 3. **Internet Availability**: Check that the Internet access point has an active connection to the Internet. 4. **Incorrect Wireless Configuration**: Open the SMCWAA-G PC Utility, select the device, click the Profiles button, and ensure the active profile is correctly configured for your network. Also, ensure the correct profile is selected under Network Profiles.

What to do if I'm unable to browse music files on my SMC Networks 802.11g?
- S
  Scott Murillo DDSAug 9, 2025
  If you're unable to browse music files, it could be due to the following reasons: * **Missing Music Files**: Ensure there are music files in the Musicmatch Music Library. Build a library following the instructions. * **UPnP Server Issue**: Verify that the UPnP server is running. If using Musicmatch, follow the instructions. If the server is already running, try un-checking the Enable Music Server box (the Status: message will change to Not Running), then re-check it to re-start the server. If using a different media server, refer to the documentation for that server to start it.

  Presets may not work due to limitations depending on the PC Server tool used (e.g. Musicmatch, EZ Server, Intel, Mediabolic). The PC server software may not be fully compatible with the UPnP specification. There is no workaround other than storing the presets again.

Why can't I connect to an Internet Radio station on my SMC Networks Adapter?

  Adrian NguyenNov 2, 2025
  There could be several reasons why you can't connect to an Internet Radio station: * The station might be running but not currently broadcasting. Try again later or choose another station. * The buffer might be full. Wait a few seconds; if the problem persists, turn the device off and on again. * The station might not be up. Check the station’s website or try a different station. * A VPN might be running. Disable the VPN for troubleshooting, but be cautious as this may affect other programs. * The Internet Access Point and PC might not be on the same subnet. Ensure they are on the same subnet. * The Internet Access Point might have a MAC filter enabled. Add the MAC address of the SMCWAA-G to the exception list. * A third-party or Microsoft built-in firewall might be blocking...
