WLAN USB Adaptor Quick Set-up Guide
If the adaptor is already installed, click Start > Run. Enter cmd and click OK.
In the DOS window, type in ipconfig /all. Under Ethernet Adapter Wireless
Network Connection, the MAC address is displayed as physical address in
a group of 6 double digits.
For Windows 98 or ME, click Start > Run, type in winipcfg and then OK. Select
the wireless adaptor. Read off the MAC address from Adapter Address.
3. Poor Link Quality
If the link quality is poor, it may be due to one of these reasons:
Radio interference.
Distance between adaptor and access point/wireless station is too far.
Adjust the position of the antenna on the adaptor.
There are usually 13 channels available to use. In infrastructure mode, the access
point selects the channel used for communications. In adhoc mode, the users
can agree on picking a different channel to avoid radio interference.
4. How to avoid radio interference
Other wireless devices and appliances on site may share the same 2.4 GHz band.
If undesirable effects are observed, try using a different channel if possible. Also
try the following:
Move the computer to a different location or orientation. If adaptor is USB,
move the adaptor instead of computer.
If the radio interference source is known, increase the separation between
the computer and the device causing the interference.
Do not share the same AC power socket between the computer and the device
generating the interference.
Stay away from microwave sources (including microwave oven) and large
metal objects.
