Troubleshooting Your Notebook
Reference Guide 83
If you can connect, but the network is slow
• Check whether you might be in an area served by more than one wireless LAN.
If so, the LANs could be interfering with each other.
• Move closer to the access point (for an infrastructure connection) or other
wireless computer (for an Ad Hoc connection). You could be too far away for
high-speed communication.
If your notebook cannot detect any Bluetooth devices
• Make sure the wireless indicator light is on.
• Make sure Bluetooth communication is turned on. Select Start > All Programs >
Utilities > Wireless Configuration, then select the Bluetooth button if it’s not
turned on. If no Bluetooth button is shown, your notebook does not support
Bluetooth communication.
• Make sure the Bluetooth devices are turned on. Some Bluetooth phones must be
set for detection and may be detectable by other devices for only a short time.
If your notebook cannot detect a certain Bluetooth device

then select Bluetooth > Search For Devices in the menu bar.
