If the error persists, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your
vendor.
6.3 Link Quality
The link quality and/or signal strength is poor.
1
Scan for and connect to another AP with a better link quality using the Site Survey screen.
2
Move your computer closer to the AP or the peer computer(s) within the transmission range.
3
There may be too much radio interference (for example from a microwave oven, or another AP
using the same channel) around your wireless network. Lower the output power of each AP.
4
Make sure there are not too many wireless stations connected to a wireless network.
6.4 Problems Communicating with Other Computers
The computer with the NWD2705 installed cannot communicate with the other computer(s).
In Infrastructure Mode
• Make sure that the AP and the associated computers are turned on and working properly.
• Make sure the NWD2705 computer and the associated AP use the same SSID.
• Change the AP and the associated wireless clients to use another radio channel if interference is
high.
