distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you
can experiment with the following:
·
WAP-4050 location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the WAP-4050.
·
Wireless Channel
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked
improvement.
·
Radio Interference
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching
other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices should be shielded or
relocated.
·
RF Shielding
Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations.
This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the WAP-4050.
Problem 5:
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Solution 5:
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.
·
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are correct.
If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask, Default gateway
and DNS as well as the IP Address.
·
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the WAP-4050.
Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you
can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)
·
If the WAP-4050 is configured correctly, check your Internet connection
(DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly.
Problem 6:
Some applications do not run properly when using the WAP-4050.
Solution 6:
The WAP-4050 processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.
Use the Special Applications feature to allow the use of Internet applications which
do not function correctly.
If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. 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.
