DRG600 WiFi User Guide Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 8 This chapter covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the DRG600-WiFi and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the DRG600-WiFi still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem: Can't connect to the DRG600-WiFi to configure it.
DRG600 WiFi User Guide Troubleshooting This should work with almost every application, but it is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. Only one (1) PC can use this feature. Wireless Access Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point. Solution 1: Check the following: • Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode) • The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is casesensitive.
About Wireless LANs 9 This chapter provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g.
Points do not have or require Roaming capabilities.) Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
WPA PSK WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later standard than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key which is automatically generated and changed often. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP.
Wireless LAN Configuration To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows: Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure". (The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.) Most Wireless stations will set the correct mode automatically. SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to.
