Throughput is only 54 Mbps or only 14
Mbps.
The RangeMax Dual Band Wireless-N USB Adapter
WNDA3100v2 can operate at faster speeds.
• At 54 Mbps you are probably connecting to a standard
802.11g network. See Chapter 3, “Wireless Network
Performance”.
• If you do not have a USB 2.0 port on your PC, the
throughput is limited to the 14 Mbps of the USB 1.1

click Apply before you close the Smart Wizard.

tray.
You have an older software version installed on your system
and it needs to be removed. See “Removing the

I can connect to the access point, but not to
the other computers on the network or to
the Internet.
This could be a physical layer problem or a network
configuration problem.
1. Check to make sure that the access point is physically
connected to the Ethernet network.
2. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows
networking parameters are all configured correctly. See
the link to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:” in
Chapter B
.
3. Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and
computer.

This can occur if you upgraded your RangeMax Dual Band

reboot your system.
• Either restart your computer, or connect to a different access
point.
• It does not usually help to shut down the Wireless Assistant
