If you are having problem connecting or are operating at a low speed try to
change the antenna positions of the CBW500. For more effective
coverage you can try to re-orientate your antenna. Place one antenna
vertically and the other horizontally to improve the coverage. In addition,
moving the wireless computer closer to the CBW500 to confirm that the
building structure or fittings are not adversely affecting the connectivity. If
this resolves the problem, consider relocating the wireless computer or
the CBW500 or try a different channel on the CBW500.
2.4 GHz ISM band is used for 802.11b/g and your may have other devices
at your location that operate in the frequency band. You should take care
to ensure that there are no devices such as microwave ovens close to the
wireless computer or the CBW500. It could affect receiver sensitivity and
reduce the performance of your wireless network.
Most wireless computer adapters will scan the nearby channels. If a
wireless computer does not connect to the channel of the CBW500 then
try to initiate a search manually or manually set the channel on your
wireless computer to correspond to the CBW500’s channel.
The 802.11g standard will automatically choose the best speed depending
on the quality of the connection. The speed falls back to a lower speed if
the signal quality weakens. Generally, the closer you are to the CBW500
the better speed you will obtain. If your are not achieving the speed you
had anticipated then try to adjust the antennas or move the wireless
computer closer to the CBW500. In an idea network, the CBW500 should
be located on the center of the network with wireless computers
distributed around it.
