this may be due to a number of causes:

Power up the PC.
One of the PCs in the wireless network is using turbo mode.
This PC has set up an exclusive connection to the PC you want
to access.
ì
Check whether any of the PCs is using turbo mode. If this is
the case, deactivate turbo mode.
The transmission speed set does not match that of the partners
in the network.

Check whether you have set a particular transmission
speed. If this is the case, change to "Auto" (infrastructure
mode).

channel is being used.

Select the correct radio channel.
The wrong mode has been set (infrastructure or ad-hoc mode).
