Troubleshooting Troubleshooting
Limiting the wireless transmit rate
rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and connection
stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission
rate. To change this property, 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 (Windows 98 users will have to select the
wireless card in the list box and then click "Properties"), 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.

Solution
1.
Log into your Wireless Router or access point.
2.
Open your web browser and type in IP address of the Wireless
Router or access point. (The Router default is 192.168.2.1, the
802.11g access point is 192.168.2.254 ). Log into your Router by
clicking on the "Login" button in the top right-hand corner of the
screen. You will be asked to enter your password. If you never
set a password, leave the password field blank and
click "Submit".
3.
Click the "Wireless" tab on the left of your screen. Select
the "Encryption" or "Security" tab to get to the security
settings page.
4.
Select "128-bit WEP" from the drop-down menu.
5.
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can type in
your hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase
in the "Passphrase" field and click "Generate" to create a WEP
key from the passphrase. Click "Apply Changes" to finish. You
must now set all of your clients to match these settings. A hex
(hexadecimal) key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F
