n 174 N Troubleshooting How do I avoid data transfer interruptions? ❑ When your computer is connected to an access point, data transfer interruptions may occur if a large file is exchanged or the computer is placed in close proximity to microwaves and cordless telephones. ❑ Move your computer closer to the access point. ❑ Make sure the access point connection is intact. ❑ Change the access point channel. See the manual that came with your access point for more information. ❑ Make sure Maximum Performance is selected for Wireless Adapter Settings in the Power Options window. Selecting any other option may result in a communication failure. Follow the steps in What should I do if my computer cannot connect to a wireless LAN access point? (page 172) to change the settings. What are channels? ❑ Wireless LAN communication uses divided frequency bands known as channels. Third-party wireless LAN access point channels may be preset to different channels from Sony devices. ❑ If you are using a wireless LAN access point, see connectivity information contained in the manual that came with your access point. Why does the network connection stop when I change the encryption key? Two computers with the wireless LAN function may lose a peer-to-peer network connection if the encryption key is changed. You can either change the encryption key back to the original profile or re-enter the key on both computers so the key matches.
