ADSL Wireless Firewall Router User Guide

Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router.

Solution 2: The ADSL Wireless Firewall Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.

For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall 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 AccessProblem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless interface of ADW-4300.

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 ADSL Wireless Firewall Router must have the same setting for WEP. The default setting for the ADSL Wire- less Firewall Router is disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP disabled.

∙If WEP is enabled on the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router, your PC must have WEP enabled, and the key must match.

∙If the ADSL Wireless Firewall 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 ADSL Wireless Firewall 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 highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following:

∙ADSL Wireless Firewall Router location.

Try adjusting the location and orientation of the ADSL Wireless Firewall Router.

∙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 switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices should be shielded or relocated.
