When the microwave oven or cordless phone is in use, it interferes with the wireless network. Therefore, keep computers with the Bridge at least 20 feet away from your microwave oven and any cordless telephone that operates at a frequency of 2.4GHz. Data transfer is always very slow. Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may interfere with your network's radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data transmission rate. Try moving your computers to different locations in the building to see if performance improves. Computers are not communicating with the network. If your network has an access point, check all cables and make sure the power LED on the front of the access point is on. In Windows 2000, I get the following error message: "Medium cable disconnected". Also, there is a red X on my network icon in the system tray. This indicates that your computer is not properly configured to connect to the network. Verify that all of the wireless network properties settings are correct. Also, make sure that your computer is receiving a good signal from the access point. 24
