Networks (wireless)
You turned wireless networking on, but it takes a while to connect
•When wireless networking is turned on, it automatically scans for available connections. The scan can take approximately 30 seconds to complete.
Your connection on the network seems intermittent or your wireless network is running slower than you expect
•The speed of a wireless network is related to signal strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance between your wireless network devices, by radio interference, and by interference from natural obstructions such as walls, ceilings, floors, and doors.
If your wireless network is running slower than you expect, you should check your network signal strength. If you find the signal strength is low, try moving to a new location to increase the signal strength.
