Troubleshooting (continued)
2. What variables may cause my wireless products to lose reception?
D-Link products let you access your network from virtually anywhere you want.
However, the positioning of the products within your environment will affect the
wireless range. Please refer to Installation Considerations in the Wireless
Basics section of this manual for further information about the most advanta-
geous placement of your D-Link wireless products.
3. Why does my wireless connection keep dropping?
!
If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones, X-10 equipment or other home
security systems, ceiling fans, and lights, your wireless connection will
degrade dramatically or drop altogether. Try changing the Channel on
your Router, Access Point and Wireless adapter to a different Channel
to avoid interference.
!
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet) from electrical devices that
generate RF noise, like microwaves, Monitors, electric motors, etc.
4. Why can't I get a wireless connection?
If you have enabled Encryption on the DWL-122, you must also enable encryp-
tion on all wireless devices in the network in order to establish a wireless con-
nection.
!
The Encryption settings are: 64 or 128-bit. Make sure that the encryption
bit level is the same on the Access Point or Router and the DWL-122.
!
Make sure that the SSID on the Access Point or Router (if you have one
in your network) and the DWL-122 are exactly the same. If they are not,
a wireless connection will not be established. The default SSID is de-
fault.
