 When several APs are present simultaneously,
check the channel settings for each AP. When
different APs are using nearby channels,
interference may occur between the electronic
waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each
other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)

When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set
to “Hide”, you cannot search for that AP on the
computer. We recommend unselecting the “Hide”
option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for
distinguishing one wireless LAN from another
wireless LAN.

It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble
is a signal for data transmission synchronization.
Short Preamble may be supported by some types of
APs but may cause compatibility problems.

It is recommended using a static IP.

Since static channel selection is more reliable than
auto channel selection, it is recommended using a
static channel.
