Troubleshooting
If you experience difficulty in transferring data between
computers, you may try the following steps:
§
Ensure that the access point and all client computers
are using the same wireless channel.
§
Ensure that the encryption settings are the same for all
computers.
§
Re-position the
WNP1000 Wireless AP
and/or the
computer.
§
Adjust the orientation of the antennas on the access
point.
§
Keep in mind that closer is not necessarily better for
devices of this type. If the devices are very close
together, move them apart
§
If you have a consistent problem with many or all
wireless devices on your network, you should consider
using a different wireless channel for your network
operations.
