TROUBLESHOOTING Introduction This chapter provides typical problems with their own specific troubleshooting tips. Common Troubleshooting Tips LED Activity If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing your SD WLAN Card product, the error may be related to various causes : - Out-of range situation, which prevents the SDW11b from establishing a wireless connection with the network. - Configuration mismatch, which prevents the SDW11b from establishing a wireless connection with the (correct) network.
The System is Very Slow Some devices with non-powerful CPU may suffer their performance significantly. If the system is very slow, check - If you are opening many windows, close them - Change the antenna orientation for better signal reception - Check the signal strength if it is weak move toward the AP. SDW11b Does Not Operate After Returning From the Stand-by or Sleeping Mode This may happen when the driver is not functioning. Reinstall the SDW11b driver again.
