Troubleshooting
Wireless-G Access Point with Power Over Ethernet
Appendix A
How do I reset the Access Point?
Press the Reset button on the back of the Access Point for
about ten seconds. This will reset the unit to its default
settings.
How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless
network without testing. Every obstacle placed between
an Access Point and wireless PC will create signal loss.
Leaded glass, metal, concrete floors, water, and walls will
inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with your Access
Point and your wireless PC in the same room and move
it away in small increments to determine the maximum
range in your environment.
You may also try using different channels, as this may
eliminate interference affecting only one channel. Also,
open the Access Point’s Web-based Utility. Click the
Wireless tab and then the Advanced Wireless tab. Make
sure the Output Power is set to 100%.
Does the Access Point function as a firewall?
No. The Access Point is only a bridge from wired Ethernet
to wireless clients.
I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see my
network.
Wireless security, such as WEP or WPA, is probably enabled
on the Access Point, but not on your wireless adapter (or
vice versa). Verify that the same wireless security settings
are being used on all devices in your wireless network.
What is the maximum number of users the Access Point
can handle?
No more than 65, but this depends on the volume of data
and may be fewer if many users create a large amount of
network traffic.
