Troubleshooting Wireless LAN
I cannot use the Wireless LAN function
Check if the Wireless switch is turned on.
The Wireless LAN Access Point and your computer cannot communicate
Check if the Wireless LAN switch is turned on.
Check if the power of the Access Point is turned on.
Check if the Access Point is displayed in the Available networks window.
To check this, click Start and then Control Panel.
Double-click the Network Connections icon.
Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon and select Properties.
Select the Wireless Networks tab.
Check if the Access Point is displayed in Available networks.
Connection availability is affected by distance and obstructions. You may need to move your
computer away from obstructions or neared to any Access Point you may be using.
The data transfer speed is slow
The maximum communication speed can vary depending on the obstacles or the distance between the
communication devices, the radio waves, the operating system or the software you use. Remove the
obstacle or make the distance between the Access Point and your machine smaller.
It is possible that your Access Point communicates at the same time with another Access Point. Read the
manual of the Access Point.
If several computers communicate with the same Access Point, the concentration may be too high. Wait
a few minutes and try to access again.
