PIN (Personal Identification Number)
Wireless > Wi-Fi Protected Setup
If your wireless device has WPS PIN (typically an 8-digit code printed on the wireless
device product label or located in the wireless device wireless software utility), you can
use this method.
1. Log into your access point management page (see “
Access your access point
management page” on page 8).
2. Click on Wireless , and click on Wi-Fi Protected Setup .
3. To add a wireless device to your network, enter the 8-digit numeric PIN number of
the wireless client device and click Add Enrollee .
4. Select
PIN option and click Connect .
5. Then press the PIN activation on your wireless device (consult wireless device’s User’s
Guide for length of time) you are connecting.
6. Wait for your access point to finsh the WPS process.
Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1.
Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce the
range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will
minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your access point near the center of your
home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the access point on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets and
metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic objects), so
the fewer obstructions between the access point and the wireless device, the
better.
d. Place the access point in a location away from other electronics, motors, and
fluorescent lighting.
e. Many environmental variables can affect the access point’s performance, so if
your wireless signal is weak, place the access point in several locations and test
the signal strength to determine the ideal position.
2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through
less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass
or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the
wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for
your wireless devices.
4. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact
your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF
noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device
uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices,
installing additional access points or wireless extenders.
