Mike,

You did everything as you should have.  After you pressed enter on scan for 
networks, you have to wait several seconds, maybe even as much as 30, 
before you get any list of visible networks.  

If you don't get anything after maybe 30 seconds or so, it may be your bn isn't 
seeing the wireless network for some reason.

First of all, it's a good idea to try connecting with the bn just a few feet 
from the router.  Second, make sure the antenna or antennas on the router are 
pointing upward.  Also, if your router is buried in among a bunch of wires or 
other things, the bn may have trouble locating it.

If you've done all of this and you still can't locate your network by scanning, 
you can check your router settings.  

Some routers allow you to turn off their broadcasts which mean it wouldn't be 
found by the bn if that is turned off.  If your router has mostly the default 
settings though, this may not be an issue, but certainly something to be aware 
of.



The best way to create a wireless configuration is to scan for a network and 
then accept all the default settings presented when you press enter on the 
network found by the scan.

The only thing you need to enter is the name for the configuration which can be 
anything meaningful to you.  

All other settings can be left at their default values unless you have wep 
turned on in your router.  

If you have just used the default settings for the router, wep is probably not 
on at this point and you don't need to worry about it for now.

Wireless setup can sound very complicated, but it really isn't nearly as 
complex as the explanation makes it sound.

But, when you're scanning for the network, you just have to be patient and give 
the bn and Ambicom card time to complete the scan.
