AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N Installation, Configuration And Operation page 46

Checking the Data of the Ad-hoc Connection
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N and a further WLAN adapter
are connected directly via WLAN, but cannot exchange
any data with each other.
Possible Cause
The IP address was not assigned by Windows automati-
cally (note: the process can take up to three minutes), or
the network key, workgroup or ad-hoc network names do
not match.
Remedy
Make sure that the ad-hoc network name of your connec-
tion and the network key match, and that automatic as-
signment of IP addresses is enabled in your operating
system. The connected computers must be in the same
working group (see also: "Encryption" from page 33 and
"Checking the IP Settings" from page 47).
Switching the WLAN Channel
An undefined malfunction occurs.
Possible Cause
Radio traffic is subjected to interference by strong irradi-
ation.
Remedy
Switch the WLAN channel setting on the access point.
Find a better location for the WLAN devices to avoid po-
tential interference from baby monitors, video bridges,
microwaves, cordless DECT telephones or Bluetooth
devices.
