Chapter 4 - Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to a Station (WLAN Adapter) Follow the procedure below to configure your WLAN Adapter.

a.Verify that the “Network Type” is in “Ad Hoc” mode.

b.Verify that the “SSID” of your WLAN Adapter is set to the same “SSID” of the other station (or another WLAN Adapter).

c.Verify that the “channel” of the WLAN Adapter is “Auto” or set to the same “channel” of the other station (or another WLAN Adapter).

d.Verify that the “Encryption” type is the same as the other station (or another WLAN Adapter). If “WEP” encryption is enabled, you must set the same “WEP” Keys on both stations.

Bad link quality or bad signal strength

There are two possible reasons. First is radio interference, keep the environment around the WLAN Adapter away from microwave ovens and large metal objects. Then try to reorient the WLAN Adapter antenna. Second is the distance, decrease the distance between your WLAN Adapter and the access point or station (or another WLAN Adapter).

The TCP/IP protocol did not bind to the WLAN PC Adapter.

This will occur when the computer already has six TCP/IP bindings in Windows 98 or ten bindings in Windows Me. These limits are imposed by the Microsoft operating system.

Solution: If your computer already has the maximum number of TCP/IP bindings, remove one of the network adapters from the Network configuration before installing the WLAN Adapter driver.
