• Check the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's status screen to
see if it is working correctly.
Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless
ADSL2/2+ Modem Router.
Solution 2: The Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router processes the data passing
through it, so it is not transparent.
For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Fire-
wall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic.
You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost
every application, but:
• It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
• Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
Wireless Access
Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
Solution 1: Check the following.
• Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always
in Infrastructure Mode)
• The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the
same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example
"Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup".
• Both your PC and the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router must
have the same setting for WEP. The default setting for the Wire-
less ADSL2/2+ Modem Router is disabled, so your wireless
station should also have WEP disabled.
• If WEP is enabled on the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router,
your PC must have WEP enabled, and the key must match.
• If the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router's Wireless screen is set
to Allow Trusted PCs only, then each of your Wireless stations
must have been designated as "Trusted", or the Wireless station
will be blocked.
• To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connec-
tion is possible when close to the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem
Router.
Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet
in poor environments.
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 high-
est possible connection speed, you can experiment with the
following:
• Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless
ADSL2/2+ Modem Router.
• Wireless Channel
