To avoid interference, let the Ericsson W25 select a channel automatically (Auto) or manually change the radio channel currently used. Keep the Ericsson W25 away from electrical devices that disturb the radio signals, for example microwave ovens. Verify that the network name (SSID) on the Ericsson W25 and the wireless client are the same. Note that the network name is case- sensitive.
Troubleshooting Indication/Symptom What to do subnet mask is displayed on the LAN page. The wireless connections to the local network are unacceptable slow or regularly dropping. Move the Ericsson W25 to another location. Make sure that the mobile network signal is still acceptable before finalizing the installation. Keep the Ericsson W25 away from electrical devices that disturb the radio frequency signals, for example microwave ovens.

DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol A protocol used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server. DHCP server A configuration server, capable of configuring network devices with a variety of information, such as IP addresses, required for their operation.
Glossary that will enable downlink speeds of up to 14 Mbps. IGD – Internet Gateway Device See UPnP IGD. IEEE – Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEEE (pronounced I-tripleE) is an organization composed of engineers, scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and electronics industry. In particular, the IEEE 802 standards for local area networks are widely followed.
Glossary server or Internet Service Provider (ISP). PAP is used by PPP and almost all network operating system remote servers support PAP. PAP transmits unencrypted ASCII passwords over the network and is therefore considered insecure, it is used as a last resort when the remote access server does not support a stronger authentication protocol, such as CHAP. Passphrase A secret password used for WPA and WPA2 wireless data encryption.
Glossary network. SMB was later renamed to CIFS (Common Internet File System) with more features added, including support for symbolic links, hard links, and larger file sizes. SSID – Service Set Identifier A unique network name, or identifier, that differentiates one wireless LAN from another. All access points and clients attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. Subnet A portion of a network.
Glossary WAN – Wide Area Network A network of computers that covers a large geographical distance. With respect to the Ericsson W25, WAN refers to the Internet. WUI – Web User Interface In Ericsson W25 the WUI refers to a built-in web based configuration tool with wizard support. WCDMA – Wideband CDMA The radio access technology for wideband wireless access supporting 3G services. It allows very high speed multimedia services like wireless Internet access and videoconferencing.
