the data transfer speed, move your notebook away from obstructions or
closer to any Access Point you may be using.
❑ If you are using a Wireless LAN Access Point, the device may be
temporarily overloaded depending on the number of other devices
communicating via the access point.
❑ If your access point interferes with other access points, set up the wireless
channel with the access point. Refer to the instructions supplied with the
access point.
The communication speed is interrupted or slowed down
when MPEG2 data is transferred.
The typical effective data transfer speed via an access point is 4-5 Mbps when
adhering to the IEEE802.11b standard. High-rate stream transfers with MPEG2
data may lower this rate.
Data transfers are interrupted.
Data transfer interruptions may occur with large files or use of microwaves and
cordless phones when connected to an access point. To avoid data transfer
interruptions, do the following:
❑ Move the computer closer to the access point.
❑ Make sure the access point connection is intact.

2 Point to ORiNOCO, and select Client Manager. The ORiNOCO client
