37.4

Wireless Internet Access

What factors may cause intermittent or unstabled wireless connection? How can I solve this

problem?

The following factors may cause interference:

•

Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on.

•

Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs.

•

Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless devices.

To optimize the speed and quality of your wireless connection, you can:

•

Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low.

•

Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding wireless

electronics such as cordless phones.

•

Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and

the wireless client.

•

Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add additional

APs if necessary.

•

Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the wireless

client is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open that use the

Internet.

What is a Server Set ID (SSID)?

An SSID is a name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. The AP and all the clients within a wireless

network must use the same SSID.

37.5

UPnP

When using UPnP and the Zyxel Device reboots, my computer cannot detect UPnP and refresh

My Network Places > Local Network

Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Zyxel Device’s LAN port or from your computer.

Re-connect the Ethernet cable.
