Appendix A Troubleshooting Appendix A: Troubleshooting A Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
Appendix A Troubleshooting ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.) z If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly. Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router. Solution 2: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.
Appendix A Troubleshooting highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following: z Wireless Router location Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless Router. z Wireless Channel If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement. z 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.
Appendix B About Wireless LANs Appendix B: About Wireless LANs B BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other. Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. z Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used.
B. Appendix B About Wireless LANs z WPA/WPA2/ WPA-Mixed WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several encryption options: TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method. The most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency.
Appendix B About Wireless LANs (Pre-Shared Key) WPA WPA2 WPA2-Mixed If one of these securities is enabled on the Wireless Router. To make a connection, each station must use the same algorithms and pass phrase as the Wireless Router. Pre-Shared Key Format: There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key, Passphrase and Hex (64 characters). If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 characters string. For easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is recommended.
