Example #2: WiFi Antennas or Ethernet Cable Not Connected to the DTEN D7 Unit

1. Check if the antennas are connected in the back located near the rear, top, left side of the DTEN D7 unit.  If not, please connect the antennas.
2. Check if the ethernet cable is connected to the PC port in the back of the DTEN D7 unit.  Ethernet connection is the recommended option for DTEN D7 units.

Example #3: Other Causes
