1. Check BSSID. When there is a link, the current Basic Service
Set ID of the Access Point been used will be shown in the
BSSID field in Link Page. When the adapter is disconnected with
the Access Point, “Non-associated” will appear in the BSSID
field. To view BSSID, from your Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805,
click Start, Settings, System, Wireless LAN Utility, then Link.
2. Check Link Quality. Link Quality shows how clearly the adapter
can hear the Access Point. If the quality is poor, it’s better to res-
can and find a better performance Access Point or re-arrange
the AP’s position for better performance. To view Link Quality,
from your Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805, click Start, Settings,
System, Wireless LAN Utility, Config.

tions to enable the wireless communication within the local area net-
work.
