access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your
service provider to find the best solution for your needs.
A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without an
access point . This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a
router to share an Internet connection. The wireless network link works according to stan-
dard
IEEE 802.11n
*
and is compatible to standard IEEE 802.11 b/g . Other standards
(802.11a etc.) are not supported.
The transmission speed can vary according to distance and other factors.
Search for "wireless networking" in Windows Help and Support for more information.
Troubleshooting within the Network
Why does the network environment not show the releases?
The network environment is delayed in time. Check the release by searching
for the respective
computer name.
Why does an error message appear when I click on the network environment?
The computer name must be unique on the network and may not be the
same as the task group .
It appears that the network boards are unable to communicate. What might be the
problem?
Maybe one of the used network boards works with a different speed (e. g.
10 instead 100 Mbit) and your network computer is unable to recognize this.
If necessary, set the network driver to the compatible speed.
If two PCs should be linked you require a cross-link cable , otherwise use a
patch cable.
In addition, check the protocols and the configuration .
The data transmission is incorrect or very slow. What might be the problem?
Maybe you have the wrong cable (UTP / CAT3 or lower) or the problem is
the proximity of a power cord or another source of interference.
For further hints on troubleshooting refer to the Windows help under “ Network errors ”.

In order to the full capacity of the IEEE 802.11n module in this notebook, a WLAN router
which supports the 802.11n standard is required.
