Interference can also cause Internet connection problems. Signals that are transmitted between the base station and a wireless adapter can be affected by interference from other wireless devices—including 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) cordless phones, microwave ovens, and neighboring wireless networks. Move the other devices further from your wireless networking hardware as needed, and refrain from using them while you are using the network. To minimize interference from another wireless network, try changing channels. For more information about configuring your wireless settings, see Chapter 4, “Network Management.”

For more information about range issues, see “Recommendations for Best Wireless Performance” in Help for the Broadband Network Utility.

OVerify that you are using the correct wireless settings. You might have incomplete or incorrect wireless settings for your adapter. To connect successfully, the wireless adapter on your computer must have the same network name (SSID), wireless channel, and wireless security (such as Wireless Equivalent Privacy [WEP]) information as your base station. To check the wireless settings on your Microsoft base station, open the Base Station Management Tool (located within the Broadband Network Utility). You can also access the base station directly through your Internet browser by going to the address http://192.168.2.1. Then you can view and, if necessary, correct your Microsoft wireless adapter settings by opening Adapter Settings from the Tools menu of the Broadband Network Utility.

OReset your broadband modem. Turn off the modem for 5 to 10 seconds. Restart the modem, and wait for it to connect to your ISP. After the status lights on your modem indicate that it is connected, and the status lights on your base station show that you have a working wide area network (WAN) connection, try accessing the Internet from your computer again.

OReset your base station, gateway, or router. Turn off or unplug the base station, wait at least 10 seconds, and turn it back on again. Let the base station reset itself. When the status lights indicate that the base station is functioning, try accessing the Internet from the wireless computer again.

OUpdate your base station firmware. Firmware is the software that is loaded into your base station to provide network functions. You can update your base station firmware by downloading it from the Internet and installing it on your base station. If you are using a Microsoft base station, make sure that you are using the latest firmware version.

To update Microsoft base station firmware

1.Double-click the Broadband Network Utility icon on your taskbar to start the utility.

2.On the Help menu, click Check for Updates Online.

3.If there is a newer version of the firmware available, follow the instructions on the Web page to download the new software, firmware, or drivers.
