Networks (wireless)

You turned wireless networking on, but it takes a while to

connect

• When wireless networking is turned on, it automatically

scans for available connections. The scan can take

approximately 30 seconds to complete.

Your connection on the network seems intermittent or your

wireless network is running slower than you expect

• The speed of a wireless network is related to signal

strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance

between your wireless network devices, by radio

interference, and by interference from natural

obstructions such as walls, ceilings, floors, and doors.

If your wireless network is running slower than you

expect, you should check your network signal strength.

If you find the signal strength is low, try moving to a

new location to increase the signal strength.

To check the signal strength:

1 Click Start, right-click My Network Places, then

click Properties. The Network Connections window

opens.

Important

Note any antenna placement constraints in the access point user

guide because the speed of a wireless network is related to signal

strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance between your

wireless network devices, by radio interference, and by interference

from natural obstructions such as walls, floors, and doors.
