Poor Link Quality

If the link quality display stays in the poor range, it could be due to one of the following

reasons:

• Radio interference.

• For 802.11b/g 2.4 GHz band, possible sources of interference can be microwave ovens,

cordless phones or pager systems. Identify and eliminate the source of interference.

Although 802.11a 5 GHz band has less interference, the signals have a higher

absorption rate and may be blocked by walls or other building structures. Move your

device closer to your target Access Point or wireless station.

• Distance between Wireless LAN Card and Access Point is too far. Decrease the

distance between the Access Point or another wireless adapter.
