Wireless Problems
A wireless PC
cannot associate
with the
BARRICADE.
• Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID settings
as the BARRICADE.
See “Channel and SSID” on page 4-26.
• You need to have the same security settings on the
clients and the BARRICADE. See “Security” on page
4-29.
The wireless
network is often
interrupted.
• Move your wireless PC closer to the BARRICADE to
find a better signal. If the signal is still weak, change
the angle of the antenna.
• There may be interference, possibly caused by
microwave ovens or wireless phones. Change the
location of the possible sources of interference or
change the location of the BARRICADE.
• Change the wireless channel on the BARRICADE.
See “Channel and SSID” on page 4-26.
• Check that the antenna, connectors, and cabling are
firmly connected.
The
BARRICADE
cannot be
detected by a
wireless client.
• The distance between the BARRICADE and wireless
PC is too great.
• Make sure the wireless PC has the same SSID and
security settings as the BARRICADE. See “Channel
and SSID” on page 4-26 and “Security” on page 4-29.
