Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
Do I need a specific cable or DSL modem to use the Router?
No, the Router works with any Ethernet cable, and virtually any cable/DSL
modem.
Wireless
Can I use an 802.11b wireless card to connect to the Router?
Yes, the Router can handle 802.11b cards or 802.11g cards. The 802.11g standard
is backward compatible with the 802.11b standard. The Router can be setup to
handle just “g” wireless cards, just “b” wireless cards, or both.
If I install several Routers in different locations in my building, will they
be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I move
between them?
The Router does not communicate with other access points, since it is a single
access point system. If you install several Router devices and move between cov-
erage areas, your wireless device would actually have to reconnect to a separate
network.
Will cordless phones interfere with the Router?
The Router uses the 2.4 GHz frequency. If your cordless phone uses this fre-
quency, problems may occur. Different cordless phones use different frequencies,
and generally include a label stating which frequency they use. If you are hav-
ing problems with interference caused by your cordless phone, try changing the
Router’s channel (see “Wireless Settings” on page 32). This can sometimes clear
up interference issues. Any wireless device using the 2.4 GHz frequencies can
cause wireless interference.
Which wireless cards will work with the Router?
The Router will connect with any wireless card supporting the 802.11g or
802.11b wireless standards.
