What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?
Wireless products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want.
However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the wireless
range. Please refer to
Installation Considerations
in the
Wireless Basics
section of
this manual for further information about the most advantageous placement of your
wireless products.

Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
•
Antenna Orientation- Try different antenna orientations for the 802.11g Wireless
Access Point. Try to keep the antenna at least 6 inches away from the wall or other
objects.
•
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home security
systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will degrade dramatically
or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on your Access Point and Wireless
adapter to a different Channel to avoid interference.
•
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that generate RF
noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.
Everything seems to be properly set up, so why can’t I get a wireless
connection?
Have you enabled wireless encryption? Your Access Point supports wireless encryption
- but remember that to establish a wireless connection while enabling Encryption on the
802.11g Wireless Access Point, you must also enable encryption on all other members
of the network.
•
The Encryption settings are: 64, 128, or 152 bit. Make sure that the encryption bit
level is the same on the Access Point and other network members.
Make sure that the SSID on the Access Point and the computer are exactly the same. If
they are not, wireless connection will not be established. Please note that there are
SSIDs for 802.11g. The default SSID for 802.11g is
WLAN
