Data transfer is sometimes very
slow.
Microwave ovens, some baby monitors, cordless game
controllers, and some cordless phones operate at the
same radio frequency as the installed wireless card.
When these devices are in use, they interfere with the
wireless network. For optimum performance, keep
wirelessly-connected computers at least 20 feet away
from devices that operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz.
Data transfer is always very slow. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed
structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere
with your network's radio signals, thus causing a
slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving
your computer to different locations in the building to
see if performance improves.
Computers are not communicating
with the network.
Verify that all of the wireless network properties
settings are correct.
● Make sure that your computer is receiving a
good signal from the access point or router.
● Verify with the network administrator that
installed the wireless card in your portable
computer is compatible with the IEEE 802.11
WLAN standard under which the wireless
network is operating.
● You may need to disable or uninstall firewall
software to connect.
● If your network uses access points or routers,
check all cables and make sure the power LED
on the front of the access point or router is
green.
