Useful Information
4.
If you are not able to plug an adaptor directly into a wall outlet and must
use a power strip, make sure the power strip is plugged directly into a
wall outlet and not to another power strip.
5.
Make sure the power strip does not have a noise filter or a surge
protector, as these features may interfere with the performance of your
adaptors.
6.
Use a power strip with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
7.
Re-register the terminal following the procedure on page 21.
If the performance issue is not solved, continue to the next troubleshooting
note.
Troubleshooting note #2:
Eliminating interference caused by other appliances
Perform each step until the performance issue is solved.
1.
Identify potential electrical noise emitting appliances, and unplug them
(if possible) briefly while you test the adaptor’s network speed.
The following appliances are more likely to produce noise:
• Battery chargers (including cell phone chargers)
• AC adaptors (including AC adaptors for modems, routers,
notebook computers, etc.)
• Hair dryers
• Vacuum cleaners
• Lights or lamps which have a dimmer switch or a touch-sensitive
on/off feature
• Power drills
2.
If unplugging a device seems to resolve the adaptor’s performance
issue, connect the device to a different wall outlet.
3.
If connecting the device to a different wall outlet does not resolve the
performance issue, connect the device to a noise filtering power strip
with an AC cord that is as short as possible.
