Wireless

Ensure that you have an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter for

Networking

each wireless computer, and that it is correctly installed and

 

configured. Verify that each Wireless computer has either Windows 95

 

or higher or MAC OS 8.5 or higher.

 

Verify that your wireless computers are configured to work in

 

Infrastructure mode and not Ad Hoc mode. The Router contains an

 

Access Point that is designed to operate in Infrastructure mode. Ad

 

Hoc mode is not supported by the Router.

 

If you have a wired and a wireless NIC in the same computer,

 

ensure that the wired NIC is disabled.

 

Check the status of the Router Wireless LED, it should be lit if

 

wireless is enabled and will flash when there is wireless activity. If not

 

lit go to “Wireless Settings” and enable wireless networking.

 

Ensure that the TCP/IP settings for all devices are correct.

 

Ensure that the Wireless Clients are using the same SSID or

 

Service Area Name as the Router. The SSID is case-sensitive

 

Ensure that the encryption method and level that you use on your

 

clients are the same as those configured on the Router. The Router

 

can simultaneously support WPA and WEP encryption, but can only

 

support one configuration of each.

 

Ensure that you have the Wireless computer enabled in the list of

 

allowed MAC addresses if you are using Wireless Connection control

 

on the Router.

 

If you are having difficulty connecting or are operating at a low

 

speed try changing the antenna positions on the rear of the Router. For

 

more effective coverage you can try reorientating your antennae. Place

 

one antenna vertically and one horizontally to improve coverage.

 

Additionally consider moving the wireless computer closer to the

 

Router to confirm that the building structure or fittings are not adversely

 

affecting the connectivity. If this resolves the problem consider

 

relocating the Wireless computer or the Router, or trying a different

 

channel on the Router.
