connected. Your computer will normally try to reconnect to the network as soon as this happens (the network
icon on the top bar will spin or pulse if it is trying to reconnect), but it can be annoying, especially if

<section id="signal">
<title>Weak wireless signal</title>
- <p>A common reason for being disconnected from a wireless network is that you have low signal. Wireless
networks have a limited range, so if you are too far away from the wireless base station you may not be able
to get a strong enough signal to maintain a connection. Walls and other objects between you and the base
station can also weaken the signal.</p>

<title>Network connection not being established properly</title>
- <p>Sometimes, when you connect to a wireless network, it may appear that you have successfully connected at

partially successful in connecting to the network - it managed to establish a connection, but was unable to
finalize the connection for some reason and so was disconnected.</p>

<p>Look for restricted (binary) drivers</p>
- <p>Many Linux distributions only come with device drivers which are <em>free</em> and <em>open
source</em>. This is because they cannot distribute drivers which are proprietary, or closed-source. If the
correct driver for your wireless adapter is only available in a non-free, or "binary-only" version, it may
not be installed by default. If this is the case, look on the wireless adapter manufacturer's website to see
if they have any Linux drivers.</p>

<p>Use the Windows drivers for your adapter</p>
- <p>In general, you cannot use a device driver designed for one operating system (like Windows) on another
operating system (like Linux). This is because they have different ways of handling devices. For wireless
adapters, however, you can install a compatibility layer called <em>NDISwrapper</em> which lets you use some
Windows wireless drivers on Linux. This is useful because wireless adapters almost always have Windows
drivers available for them, whereas Linux drivers are sometimes not available. You can learn more about how
to use NDISwrapper <link

all wireless drivers can be used through NDISwrapper.</p>

<title>What do WEP and WPA mean?</title>
-<p>WEP and WPA (along with WPA2) are names for different encryption tools used to secure your wireless
connection. Encryption scrambles the network connection so that no one can "listen in" to it and look at
which web pages you are viewing, for example. WEP stands for <em>Wired Equivalent Privacy</em>, and WPA
stands for <em>Wireless Protected Access</em>. WPA2 is the second version of the WPA standard.</p>

wireless card and router support WPA2, that is what you should use when setting up your wireless network.</p>
