Solution 31411: Resolving Internet Connection Loss After Configuring TI-Navigator™ Network Adapter and Removing TI-Navigator Network Adapter from Classroom Network.

How do I resolve internet connection loss after configuring TI-Navigator Network Adapter and how do I removing a TI-Navigator Network Adapter from the classroom network?

Loss of internet connection after configuring the TI-Navigator Network Adapter is usually caused by configuring the Network Adapter to use a network connection that is also used for internet access or a wireless network connection. 

Please Note: The steps below only correspond to Type I and Type II Access Points pictured below. For assistance with the Nav-AP-US Access Point please visit Knowledgebase Article #31211.

  

Please Note: While the TI-Navigator System is a wireless device it does not use a wireless network connection to communicate with the computer. The Access Point can only connect via a wired Ethernet connection to the computer.
