Appendix A Troubleshooting A This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless ADSL Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless ADSL Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Can't connect to the Wireless ADSL Router to configure it.
Wireless ADSL Router User Guide Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless ADSL Router. Solution 2: The Wireless ADSL Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Firewall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: • It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
Appendix A - Troubleshooting Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Wireless ADSL Router.
Appendix B About Wireless LANs B This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g.
Appendix B - About Wireless LANs Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
