I’m not getting on the Internet. (Wireless)

Check the indicator lights (see

Using the Telephony Modem

) — the WLAN

light should be on.
Does your connection utility discover your wireless LAN? If you turned off

“Broadcast SSID” (see

Configuring the LAN Channel and Name

) you need to

manually enter the name of your wireless LAN in the connection utility.
Change your security mode to “WEP” or “disabled” (see

Configuring Wireless

Security

). If you use “disabled,” enable one of the other security modes as

soon as you find the problem.

My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes.

This is usually caused by interference — two common sources are 2.4GHz

“remote” telephones and microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the inter-

fering product, try using a different channel or setting Protected Mode (see

Configuring the LAN Channel and Name

for both features).

I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow.

If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trou-

ble servicing all the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few

minutes and try again. Usage during peak hours may also affect the connec-

tion speed.
Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connec-

tions, may slow down your connection.
