HP 3111000NR manual Connecting to a local area network LAN, Wlan connection is very weak

WLAN connection is very weak

If the connection is very weak, or if your computer cannot make a connection to a WLAN, minimize interference from other devices, as follows:

●Move your computer closer to the wireless router or access point.

●Temporarily disconnect devices such as a microwave, cordless phone, or cellular phone to be sure that other devices are not interfering.

If the connection does not improve, try forcing the device to reestablish all connection values:

1.Select Control Panel > Network and Internet Connections > Network Connections.

2.Right-click the network, and then click Properties.

3.Click the Wireless Networks tab.

A list showing the available WLANs is displayed. If you are in a hotspot where several WLANs are active, several are displayed.

4.Select a network, and then click Remove.

Cannot connect to the wireless router

If you are trying to connect to the wireless router and are unsuccessful, reset the wireless router by removing power from the router for 10 to 15 seconds.

If the computer still cannot make a connection to a WLAN, restart the wireless router. For details, refer to the router manufacturer's instructions.

Connecting to a local area network (LAN)

Connecting to a local area network (LAN) requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable (purchased separately). If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (1), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable (2) toward the computer.

To connect the network cable:

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not plug a modem cable or telephone cable into an RJ-45 (network) jack.

1.Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
