Chapter 7 Troubleshooting
My station cannot associate in Ad Hoc mode.
Make sure all the stations in the Ad Hoc network are set with the same SSID. You can set up
one station to start the Ad Hoc network and wait briefly before setting other stations. This
prevents several stations from trying to establish a network at the same time, which can result
in multiple singular networks being established, rather than a single network with multiple
stations associated to it.
If you are in the Europe using ETSI regulatory domain, Ad Hoc mode is not supported.
My station cannot access network resources in Infrastructure mode.
Even your link status indicates a successful connection with the Access Point, this connection
applies to the “physical” network layer only. It is just like pulling a cable between two wired
computers. To access the network resource, you will need a login name and login password as
implemented by most of network operating systems. You should consult with your network
administrator for required settings.
