Wireless Access
Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
Solution 1: Check the following.
• Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in
Infrastructure Mode)
• The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup"
does NOT match "workgroup".
• Both your PC and the WN-151ARM must have the same setting for WEP.
The default setting for the WN-151ARM is disabled, so your wireless
station should also have WEP disabled.
• If WEP is enabled on the WN-151ARM, your PC must have WEP enabled,
and the key must match.
• If the WN-151ARM's Wireless screen is set to Allow Trusted PCs only,
then each of your Wireless stations must have been designated as
"Trusted", or the Wireless station will be blocked.
• To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the WN-151ARM.
Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor
environments.
Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 2: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on
the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection
speed, you can experiment with the following:
• WN-151ARM
location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the WN-151ARM.
• Wireless
Channel
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a
marked improvement.
• Radio
Interference
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by
switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices
should be shielded or relocated.
• RF
Shielding
Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless
stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to
the WN-151ARM.
