computers, you may try the following steps:
§ Ensure that the access point and all client computers
are using the same wireless channel.
§ Ensure that the encryption settings are the same for all
computers.
§ Re-position the WNP1000 Wireless AP and/or the
computer.
§ Adjust the orientation of the antennas on the access
point.
§ Keep in mind that closer is not necessarily better for
devices of this type. If the devices are very close
together, move them apart
§ If you have a consistent problem with many or all
wireless devices on your network, you should consider
using a different wireless channel for your network
operations.

1. Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel. Double click
on Network.
2. In “The following network components are
installed” box, select the TCP/IP associated with your
network adapter. If you only have one network adapter

box for “Obtain an IP Address Automatically” into your
computer. Follow these same steps, but enter the
information YOU wrote down on the “Memo” page of
this manual, page 57.
4. Select “Specify an IP address”. Enter a unique IP
address that is not used by any other computer
connected to the network. You can only use an IP
address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.
Make sure that each IP address is unique for each PC
or network device.
5. Enter the Subnet Mask, 255.255.255.0.
6. Click the OK button in the “TCP/IP Properties”
window, and click OK in the “Network” window.
