Symptom

Cause/Remedy

The communication
band is supposed to be
11 Mbps, but MPEG2
data transfer fails.

No communication is
available even though
my computer is
located within 100 m
(330 feet) of the
Access Point.

The data transfer
speed has become
slower.

c 11 Mbps is a logical value. The actual value is

approximately 4 to 5 Mbps. This occurs with almost all
IEEE 802.11 compliant products. The high-speed stream
transfer of MPEG2, may cause a short of the
communication band.

c The actual communication distance depends on the

installation site and surrounding conditions. Move your
computer closer to the Access Point.

c The actual data transfer speed may change depending on

the distance and quality of the link. The natural data
transfer speed is 11 Mbps (maximum) but may fall to 5.5
Mbps, 2Mbps, or 1 Mbps in certain conditions.

On the dial-up connection

Symptom

Cause/Remedy

When using the dial-
up connection, the
Internet connection is
unintentionally
disconnected.

When the automatic
connection feature is
enabled, a connection
to the Internet is
unintentionally
established.

The dial-up
connection is disabled
for awhile after
disconnection by
clicking To
Disconnect.

c The automatic disconnection feature is enabled. If no

communication takes place for two minutes, the Access
Point automatically disconnects the dial-up connection by
default. To change this setting, use the Custom Access
Point Setup Utility. For further information, see the
Custom Access Point Setup Utility Help.

c Some e-mail applications periodically check incoming

mail. Windows also periodically establishes a connection
to the Internet for update notices.

c The Access Point does not accept a connection command

issued by clicking To Connect for one minute after manual
disconnection. Wait approximately one minute after
disconnection, then try again.
