Wireless Ethernet network

You turned the wireless on, but it takes a while to connect.
■ When the wireless emitter is turned on, it automatically scans for available
connections, which can take approximately 30 seconds to complete.
Your connection on the network seems intermittent.
In addition to other factors, the strength of a wireless connection is determined
■
by the distance from the access point and structural material that the signal must
travel through (such as walls, cabinets, ceilings, and floors.)
If you cannot relocate, see if you can improve the connection by changing the channel
of the access point.
Your wireless Ethernet network is running slower than you expect
If your wireless Ethernet network is running slower than you expect, you should
■
check your network signal strength. If you find the signal strength is low, try
moving to a new location to increase the signal strength.
