WL556E Unable to connect to Wireless AP with Auto Channel
Configuration
There are a few make and models of Wireless Routers and Wireless Access Points that are having
connectivity problems with the WL556E. The WL556E Wireless-N repeater needs to be on the same
channel as the main Wireless Router/AP for it to be able to communicate properly. If the main Wireless
Router/AP switches from one channel to another, then there would be a discrepancy on the wireless
link between the repeater and the AP. To get around this issue, you have to change the Wireless
Router/AP channel from “Auto” to any specific channel for 1 to 13.
Steps to change your main Wireless Router/AP channel
1. Verify the IP address of your main Wireless Router/AP by going to the command prompt. To
open the command prompt, Click Start > Run > Type cmd and click OK
2. On the command prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter

documentation of your router/AP for the login information
