B.4 No Wireless Connectivity 170
avoid certain circumstances that may lead to the loss of wireless
connectivity.
B.4.1 How To Avoid Wireless Connectivity Losses
Reposition the antenna of the HorstBox. Keep at least a distance
of 15cm to the next wall or big objects.
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other
home security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless con-
nection will degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing
the channel on your HorstBox, access point and wireless adapter
to a different channel to avoid interference.
Keep your HorstBox at least 1-2 meters (3-6 feet) away from elec-
trical devices that generate RF noise, like microwaves, monitors,
electric motors, etc.
B.4.2 Distance Issues
• Move the HorstBox and WLAN device into the same room
and then test the wireless connection.
• Change the channels.
• Move the WLAN devices within the line of sight of the
HorstBox.
B.4.3 Encryption
If you have enabled encryption on the HorstBox, you must also
enable encryption on all wireless devices in the network in order
to establish a wireless connection.
• The encryption settings are: 64-, 128- or 152-bit. Make sure
that the encryption bit level is the same on the HorstBox
and the WLAN client.
• Make sure that the SSID of the HorstBox and the WLAN de-
vice are exactly the same. If they are not, wireless connection
will not be established.
