TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY  
My wireless network performance is slow,  
inconsistent, suffers from weak signal, or I’m having  
difficulty maintaining a VPN connection  
Troubleshooting  
Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity  
and the throughput performance between devices decreases  
when the distance between devices increases. Other factors  
that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst  
culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances.  
Note also that connection speed may decrease as the computer  
moves farther away from the Router. In order to determine if  
wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily  
moving the computer within 10 feet from the Router if possible.  
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly  
If the light on the front of the Router is solid blue, then your Router  
is connected to the Internet. You may not be connected to the  
Router’s wireless network. Please refer to “Adding Computers to  
Your Network” in this manual for instructions. If your Windows XP  
computer is running SP2, you will not be able to set up the Router  
via the wireless setup process. You will need to either update to  
Windows XP SP3 or complete the setup via a wired connection.  
Changing the wireless channel  
Depending on local wireless traffic and interference,  
switching the wireless channel of your network  
can improve performance and reliability.

TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY  
Limiting the wireless transmit rate  
I am having difficulty setting up WPA security on my Router  
Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve range and  
connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the  
transmission rate. To change this property in Windows, go to the  
Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections,” and double-  
click on your wireless card’s connection. In the properties dialog,  
select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab, then choose  
the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property. Wireless client  
cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit  
rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the  
wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates  
are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until  
you find the best one for your environment. Note that all available  
transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet.  
For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.  
Click on the “Login” button in the top right-hand corner of the  
screen. You will be asked to enter your password. If you have never  
set a password, leave the “Password” field blank and click “Submit.”  
2. Click “Wireless” in the left-hand menu. Then click “Security”  
just below that.  
3. Select the “WPA/WPA2” option.  
4. Enter a password. This can be from 8–63 characters of your choice,  
including spaces and punctuation, OR a 64-digit hexadecimal  
number (using only the numbers 0–9 and letters A–F).  
5. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Your wireless  
connection is now encrypted. Each computer using your  
wireless network will need to use the new key.  
Does the Router support Wireless Protected Access  
(WPA) security?  
Note: If you are configuring the Router over a wireless  
connection, you will have to re-connect to the  
Router after changing any security settings.  
The Router ships with WPA/WPA2 security turned on.  
Windows XP and some older network hardware may  
require a software update to support WPA/WPA2.  
Note: Some older networking hardware supports  
only WEP encryption. If your older computers cannot  
connect to your network, try 128-bit or 64-bit WEP, or  
seek software updates from their manufacturers.

B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 EE 74 is a valid 128-bit WEP key.  
5. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Your wireless

cannot connect to your network, try 64-bit WEP.
