1/2/5.5/11/6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54Mbps:

Forces the card to use only the transmission 

speed selected.  If Wireless Mode is set to 

802.11 B only

the only speeds available for 

this setting will be 

1/2/5.5/11Mbps

.  Note that the ability to make a successful 

connection at a particular speed is affected by both distance and environmental 

interference.  If you select a value that is too high for the current environment and 

location, the wireless connection may be intermittent or fail.

Turn Off RF Button: When clicked, this will temporarily disable the wireless connection.  
Click again to re-enable the PCI555WG.

Once you have finished adjusting your settings, click 

Apply

to enable them.  Note this

may cause a short disruption with your wireless connection as the card re-connects to the
access device using the new settings.

About

This tab displays general information about
drivers and software you installed with the
PCI555WG, and well as information about
the card including EEPROM version and
MAC address.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common problems with wireless connections.  Please examine this
section and attempt the solutions offered before contacting technical support.  Given the
complexity of some wireless networks, you may want to get assistance from your System
Administrator or other professional if you encounter difficulties achieving a stable,
secure wireless connection.

Problem:

I cannot connect to my wireless network.

Cause:

Your security and/or encryption settings may not match those of the wireless 
access device (router, access point) to which you are trying to connect, or there 
may be an environmental issue (distance, interference) that is compromising 
the connection.

Solution:

1) Go to the 

Statistics

tab of the Configuration Utility.  If a signal is present but

extremely low, try reorienting the antenna of the PCI555WG or decrease the 
distance between the antenna and the access device to improve the signal 
strength.  
2) If there is a great deal of potential interference-causing material between the 
antenna and access device (electrical cables, heavy machinery, solid walls) you 
may wish to relocate the computer or access device.  
3) Ensure that the Tx Rate is set to 

Auto

on the 

Advance

tab in the 

Configuration Utility so that the card will negotiate the best possible
