This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the WAP-4050 and
some possible solutions to them.
Problem 1:
Can't connect to the WAP-4050 to configure it.
Solution 1:
Try using the wired Ethernet connection and the WAP-4050's IP address.
3.
Connect a LAN cable from the WAP-4050 to the Ethernet port on your PC.
4.
Set the WAP-4050 to "Config" mode.
5.
Restart the WAP-4050.
6.
Restart your PC. (Or, if you know how to do so, you could perform a Release and
Renew of the IP address on the Ethernet port.)
7.
Start your Web browser.
8.
Enter the Address as: HTTP://192.168.0.1
Problem 2:
My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
·
Solution 2:
Check the Broadcast SSID setting. Has it been disabled? If it has, the AP will not
be listed in Available Wireless Networks, and you will have to configure your
PC manually. If using manual configuration, ensure the mode is Infrastructure
and not Ad-hoc.
·
To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible
when close to the WAP-4050.
Remember that the connection range can be as little as 50 feet in poor
environments.
Problem 3:
On my PC, I can locate the WAP-4050, but I can't establish a connection.
Solution 3:
·
The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point must be the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does
NOT match "workgroup".
·
Both your PC and the WAP-4050 must have the same settings for Wireless
security. The default setting for the WAP-4050 is disabled, so your wireless
station should also have Wireless security disabled.
If Wireless security is enabled on the WAP-4050, Wireless stations must use the
same settings as the WAP-4050.
·
If the WAP-4050 is set to Allow Trusted Stations only, then each of your
Wireless stations must be in the Trusted Wireless Stations list, or access will be
blocked.
Problem 4:
Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 4:
The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the
