| Checking WiFi | Performs a ping test to the Gateway address listed in the Network Status screen. If this test fails, check that you don’t have MAC address filtering enabled on your router. |

If this test fails, check that the DNS address is correct – if it is wrong then correct the DNS address under DHCP Settings on your wireless router.
