Cause
You have not
correctly configured
the encryption used
in the wireless
network when
connecting to it.
TCP/IP wireless
client properties are
not configured to
receive IP through
DHCP.
There are
interferences with
other existing
wireless networks.
Wireless network
signal is weak
because the router
is located in a not
very accesible place
or it is very far.
Solution
Check you are using the same
encryption type and the same key in
all your network elements.
Remember, if you use WEP encryption,
you should select and configure the
key 1 in the configuration of the
wireless clients.
Check that TCP/IP properties of the
network driver of your wireless client
is configured to receive the IP
dynamically (by DHCP). Refer to the
assistance of your operating system.
Put the router away from sources of
interference. If there is interference in
that channel, select a different one. If
there are other wireless networks
operating in the same area, we
recommend to set the networks with
5 channels of separation, or choose
the least impact causing ( least
saturated channel, i.e. channel where
theare are fewer wireless networks)
See manual "Wireless networks
recommendations included in the
advanced options CD)
Place the wireless router in a clear
site. Remember it is advised there
must not be many obstacles
between router and computers.
Avoid wood or concrete walls. If
there are still coverage problems,
move the position of the antenna
but allways keep them in parallel.
