VAIO Computer Quick Start
❑
Move your computer away from obstructions or closer to any access point
you may be using.
❑
Make sure your computer is properly configured for Internet access.
Why is the data transfer speed slow?
❑
The Wireless LAN data transfer speed is affected by distance and
obstructions between devices and access points. Other factors include device
configurations, radio conditions, and software compatibility. To maximize
the data transfer speed, move your computer away from obstructions or
closer to any access point you may be using.
❑
If you are using a Wireless LAN Access Point, the device may be
temporarily overloaded depending on the number of other devices
communicating via the access point.
❑
If your access point interferes with other access points, change the access
point channel. See your access point instructions for more information.
Why is the communication speed interrupted or slowed down when MPEG2
data is transferred?
The typical effective data transfer speed via an access point is 4-5 Mbps when
adhering to the IEEE 802.11b standard. High-rate stream transfers with MPEG2
data may lower this rate.
How do I avoid data transfer interruptions?
❑
Data transfer interruptions may occur with large files or use of microwaves
and cordless telephones when connected to an access point.
❑
Move the computer closer to the access point.
❑
Make sure the access point connection is intact.
❑
Change the access point channel. See your access point instructions for more
information.
Can I connect to a IEEE 802.11a device?
Computers with built-in Wireless LAN support the IEEE 802.11b standard only.
Devices connecting to a Wireless LAN using the IEEE 802.11a standard cannot
connect to devices using the IEEE 802.11b standard.
