Cause/Remedy
c 11 Mbps is a logical value. The actual value is
approximately 4 to 5 Mbps. This occurs with almost all
IEEE 802.11 compliant products. The high-speed stream
transfer of MPEG2, may cause a short of the
communication band.
c The actual communication distance depends on the
installation site and surrounding conditions. Move your
computer closer to the Access Point.
c The actual data transfer speed may change depending on
the distance and quality of the link. The natural data
transfer speed is 11 Mbps (maximum) but may fall to 5.5
Mbps, 2Mbps, or 1 Mbps in certain conditions.
Cause/Remedy
c The automatic disconnection feature is enabled. If no
communication takes place for two minutes, the Access
Point automatically disconnects the dial-up connection by
default. To change this setting, use the Custom Access
Point Setup Utility. For further information, see the
Custom Access Point Setup Utility Help.
c Some e-mail applications periodically check incoming
mail. Windows also periodically establishes a connection
to the Internet for update notices.
c The Access Point does not accept a connection command
issued by clicking To Connect for one minute after manual
disconnection. Wait approximately one minute after
disconnection, then try again.
