Chapter 5 -Troubleshooting
Problem
My 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the SpaceLink Home Gateway.
Solution
Follow these steps:
1. Try to bring the devices closer together; the PC Card may be out of
range of the SpaceLink Home Gateway.
2. Confirm that the SpaceLink Home Gateway and PC Card have the same
SSID.
3. Confirm that the SpaceLink Home Gateway and PC Card have the same
Encryption settings, if enabled.
4. Confirm that the SpaceLink Home Gateway's Air and Link LEDs are
solid green.
5. Confirm that the authorization table includes or exclucdes the MAC
address of the SpaceLink PC card if "Wireless Access Control" is
enabled.
Problem
The throughput seems slow.
Solution
To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed,
not behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. If
you move the client closer to the SpaceLink Home Gateway and throughput
increases, you may want to consider adding a second the SpaceLink Home
Gateway and implementing roaming.
•
Check antenna, connectors and cabling.
•
Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.
•
Check to see that the wired network does not exceed 10 broadcast
messages per second.
•
Verify wired network topology and configuration.
