My Wireless II connection keeps getting interrupted
Occasionally, frequencies from your wireless II adapters can conflict with
some cordless phones which use the same frequency range (2.4 Ghz). Also,
some interference may occur if your 802.11b equipment is physically close
to microwave units. If possible, keep your cordless phones and microwave
units several feet away from the Wireless II adapter.
What do the lights on my Wireless II adapter mean?
The Wireless II adapters include special Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that
informs you of its operating state.
For the USB adapter, the lights indicate:
•
Power light - ON indicates power
•
Link - OFF indicates that the device is unconfigured. ON (but not
blinking) indicates that the device driver is loaded, but there is no
network connection. A blinking light indicates connection to the
network.
For the PC card adapter, the lights indicate:
•
Link - OFF indicates no power or that the device is unconfigured. ON
(but not blinking) indicates connection to the network. A blinking light
indicates that the device driver is loaded, but there is no network
connection.
