A4.
I am unable to connect my antenna to my wireless router or
access point. What should I do?
The connector type on your Wireless Router or Access Point
must be reverse SMA male. Contact the manufacturer of your
Wireless Router or Access Point regarding the antenna connector
type.
Why do some of my wireless PCs receive a strong wireless
signals, while other PCs receive a weaker signal?
The TEW-AI07OB is an Omni Directional Antenna and can only
send and receive signals from a specified radius.
You can adjust the position of the wireless router or access point,
extend your TEW-AI07OB to an optimal location or move those
wireless PCs closer to the wireless access point or router.
My access point indicates that it is receiving power, and my laptop
is within range of the TEW-AI07OB. However, my laptop does not
receive any signals from my access point.
Make sure that you properly connect the antenna to the Access
Point. (See 2. Hardware Installation)
Does the TEW-AI07OB work with my IEEE 802.11a wireless router,
access point or wireless adapter?
No. The TEW-AI07OB is only compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g
wireless devices.
If you have any questions regarding the TEW-AI07OB, please contact
TRENDnet Technical Support Department.
