If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. This should
work with almost every application, but:
• It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
• Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
• When the DMZ feature is being used, the Special Applications and
Virtual Server features should be disabled.
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.
• The wireless channel used matches the wireless channel on the Access
Point.
• The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Work-
group" does NOT match "workgroup".
• Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting
for WEP. The default setting for the CNWR-811P is disabled, so your
wireless station should also have WEP disabled.
• If WEP is enabled, the key tables must match.
• If the Wireless Station access permission on the CNWR-811P's Wireless
screen is set to Only allow access if on this list, then each Wireless sta-
tion must have its address correctly entered.
• To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the Wireless Access Point.
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:
• Access Point location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access Point.
• 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 Access Point.
