Appendix A - Troubleshooting
check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly.
Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the LevelOne Wire- less Broadband Router.

Wireless Access
Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
Solution 1: Check the following.

Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 2: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following:
•Access Point location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access Point.
•Wireless Channel
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.
•Radio Interference
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by
