  Ensure that both your wireless client adapter and the SpeedTouch™ are configured to connect through wireless channels as defined for your local regulatory domain. Verify that your WLAN client is configured with the correct wireless settings, including SSID and security settings. Check the signal strength; if it's low, try repositioning the SpeedTouch™ or adjusting its antenna for better performance. Finally, confirm that the wireless client adapter is enabled, indicated by a message like 'radio on'.
