Networks (wireless)
You turned wireless networking on, but it takes a while to
connect
•
When wireless networking is turned on, it automatically
scans for available connections. The scan can take
approximately 30 seconds to complete.
Your connection on the network seems intermittent or your
wireless network is running slower than you expect
•
The speed of a wireless network is related to signal
strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance
between your wireless network devices, by radio
interference, and by interference from natural
obstructions such as walls, ceilings, floors, and doors.
If your wireless network is running slower than you
expect, you should check your network signal strength.
If you find the signal strength is low, try moving to a new
location to increase the signal strength.
To check the signal strength:
1
Click
(
Start
), right-click
Network
, then click
Properties
. The
Network and Sharing Center
window
opens.

for the network connection. The

dialog box

wireless networking on your computer if other
computers with the same network name are within
range of your computer.
You are in a wireless network, you can see the network, but
cannot communicate, send files, print, or get to the Web
•
If your access point uses WEP, go to the
Wireless
Networking Properties
window and make sure that both
the WAP and the WLAN in the computer have matching
WEP keys.
Important
Note any antenna placement constraints in the access point user
guide because the speed of a wireless network is related to signal
strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance between your
wireless network devices, by radio interference, and by interference from
natural obstructions such as walls, floors, and doors.
