A6 Check the AP settings as follows.
(The following is recommended for
a standard environment and thus
may differ according to the specic
wireless network environment.)
 When several APs are present
simultaneously, check the channel
settings for each AP. When different
APs are using nearby channels,
interference may occur between the
electronic waves. Set the AP channels
further apart from each other. (Ex:
Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)
 When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID)
option is set to “Hide”, you cannot
search for that AP on the computer.
We recommend unselecting the
“Hide” option for the AP. The SSID is
a name used for distinguishing one
wireless LAN from another wireless
LAN.
 It is recommended using Long
Preamble. Preamble is a signal for
data transmission synchronization.
Short Preamble may be supported
by some types of APs but may cause
compatibility problems.
 It is recommended using a static IP.
 Since static channel selection is more
reliable than auto channel selection,
it is recommended using a static
channel.
Q
I have set the same IP address
for both the wireless and wired
connections, but they do not work
properly.
A You cannot use wireless and wired
connections using the same IP
address. To sequentially use both the
wired and wireless connections with
the same IP address, you need to set
the currently not needed connection
to Do Not Use in the Network
Connections of the Control Panel.
