Chapter4 Troubleshooting
This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your wireless Access Point. Read
the descriptions below to help you diagnose and solve the problem.
Q: What to do if you forget your password or forget the IP address of the Access
Point?
A: Please press the “ init ” bottom on the Access Point about 5 sec. The Access Point will
be restart and the system setting will restore to the default value.
Q: What is the IEEE802.11b standard?
A: It also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi. It is an extension to 802.11 that
applies to wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5,
2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. 802.11b was a 1999
ratification to the original 802.11 standard, allowing wireless functionality
comparable to Ethernet.
Q: Unable to access the Access Point’s Web Configuration Interface?
A: 1. Please check the Ethernet connection between the PC and the Access Point is
correctness.
2. Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the Access
Point.
3. Make sure you are using the correct login information.
Q: What is WEP?
A: Wired Equivalent Privacy. Security mechanism defined within the 802.11 standard
designed to make the link integrity of the wireless medium equal to wired cable. Data
privacy mechanism based on a 40 bits (128 bit optional ) shared key algorithm, as
described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Q: What is the IEEE802.11g standard?
A: IEEE 802.11g standard specifies data rates of up to 54 Mbits/s in the 2.45-GHz
band. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), mandatory
provisions have been made within the standard to make it inherently compatible with
the well-established 802.11b standard at 11 Mbits/s, which uses complementary code
keying (CCK) modulation. Both .11g and .11b operate at ranges of up to 300 feet.
