Chapter 7. Recovering the Computer

Q7 When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, some-

times I cannot search the access point.  

A  It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad

Hoc) network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the com-
puter-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click Refresh to view
the latest search result. 

Q8 Running Help file while running Profile Wizard in the wireless

LAN program (PROSet) makes the PROSet window white.

A  It will be displayed properly when you finish the profile wizard. It dose not affect

the program operation.

Q9 The network does not operate properly when both the wireless

and the wired network connections are simultaneously config-
ured with the same IP address.

A  You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same IP

address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn
with the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not
be using in the network connection of the Control Panel.

Q10 The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a

device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the
product.

A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a

microwave oven is being used.If you experience channel interference from other
equipment, it is recommended changing the channel to connect to the AP. For
more information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP
manufacturer.

A2 IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active

IEEE802.11b equipment. This may result in data rate degradation.

Q11 An established wireless LAN connection is disconnected after

2~3 minutes, and the connection is not recovered.

A1 This may be caused by channel interference. Change the channel of the AP, and

reconnect.
