with the other computer in the 

Ethernet when the Infrastructure 

mode is confi gured.

AP and all the stations within the BSS to another radio channel if interference is high.

Make sure that the computer and the AP share the same security option and key.

Make sure your computer and the AP use the same SS ID.
