I am experiencing poor link quality in some areas of my home or office.

Possible Solution:

For Client Mode users: Try changing channels on your wireless router. For more information regarding the use of channels, refer to your wireless router or access point’s documentation.

For Ad Hoc users: To change and select the channel of your choice, access the Web User Interface by opening an Internet browser and entering http://192.168.1.201 in the address field. Select the Wireless tab. Select the corresponding channel from the Channel pull-down menu and click Apply. Be sure the channel selected on your USR5430 matches the channel on your other ad hoc device.
