• Make sure the Seagate Wireless Plus device is disconnected from your computer,

powered on and that the Wi-Fi LED is a steady green or blue. Steady green indicates the

• Make sure to select Seagate Wireless from your device’s wireless network list. If you

leave the Seagate Wireless Plus device’s wireless range, your device will disconnect

from the Seagate Wireless Plus wireless signal. The wireless range is close to 150 feet.

Any obstructions, such as walls between your device and Seagate Wireless Plus, may

affect the strength of the signal. You will have to rejoin the network in this case.

• If you know that the Seagate Wireless Plus device is broadcasting, but you can’t connect

to it, there may be too many devices connected to Seagate Wireless Plus. You can

connect up to eight devices to your Seagate Wireless Plus device at one time; try

disconnecting one of the other devices.
