Troubleshooting
How do I avoid data transfer interruptions?
❑When your computer is connected to an access point, data transfer interruptions may occur if a large file is exchanged or the computer is placed in close proximity to microwaves and cordless telephones.
❑Move your computer closer to the access point.
❑Make sure the access point connection is intact.
❑Change the access point channel. See the manual that came with your access point for more information.
❑Make sure Maximum Performance is selected for Wireless Adapter Settings in the Power Options window. Selecting any other option may result in a communication failure. Follow the steps in What should I do if my computer cannot connect to a wireless LAN access point? (page 141) to change the settings.
What are channels?
❑Wireless LAN communication uses divided frequency bands known as channels.
❑If you are using a wireless LAN access point, see connectivity information contained in the manual that came with your access point.
