TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY Troubleshooting My wireless network performance is slow, inconsistent, suffers from weak signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a VPN connection. I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly. Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases.
TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY Limiting the wireless transmit rate I am having difficulty setting up WPA security on my Router. Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections,” and doubleclick on your wireless card’s connection.
TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security on my Router. 1. Log in to your Router. Visit http://router/ with your web browser.
