Troubleshooting
The data transfer speed is slow
❑
The maximum communication speed can vary depending on the obstacles or the distance between the communication
devices, the radio waves, the operating system or the software you use. Remove the obstacle or make the distance
between the Access Point and your machine smaller.
❑
It is possible that your Access Point communicates at the same time with another Access Point. Read the manual of the
Access Point.
❑
If several computers communicate with the same Access Point, the concentration may be too high. Wait a few minutes
and try to access again.
❑
If a Wireless LAN device using the IEEE802.11g standard communicates with a device using the IEEE802.11b standard,
then it is normal that the speed reduces. Devices using the IEEE802.11g standard are 5 times faster than the ones using
the IEEE802.11b standard.
I cannot access the Internet
❑
Check the settings of the Access Point. See the manual of the Access Point.
❑
Check if the computer and the Access Point are communicating.
❑
Make the distance between the Access Point and your machine smaller.
