Frequently Asked Questions
How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
There is no way to know the exact range of your wireless network without testing. Every obstacle placed
between the Router and a wireless PC will create signal loss. Lead glass, metal, concrete floors, water and walls
will inhibit the signal and reduce range. Start with the Router and your wireless PC in the same room and move
it away in small increments to determine the maximum range in your environment.
You may also try using different channels, as this may eliminate interference affecting only one channel.
I have excellent signal strength, but I cannot see my network.
Wireless security is probably enabled on the Router, but not on your wireless adapter (or vice versa). Verify that
the same wireless security settings are being used by all devices in your wireless network.
How many channels/frequencies are available with the Router?
There are eleven available channels, ranging from 1 to 11 (in North America).
