How come I cannot get a Wi-Fi signal when I go behind the antenna?
The TEW-OA14DK is a directional antenna and can only send and
receive signals from the front panel. You can either adjust the position of
the antenna, or you can adjust the position of your laptop or PC.
My access point indicates that it is receiving power, and my laptop is
within range of the TEW-OA14DK. However, I am not receiving any
signals.
Make sure that you connected the antenna to the Wi-Fi Access
Point. Use the N-type to Reverse SMA connector cable to connect your
Access Point to the TEW-OA14DK.
Why won't the TEW-OA14DK work with my IEEE 802.11a Wireless
Router?
The TEW-OA14DK is designed only for IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g
Wireless Access Points. Please use the TEW-OA14DK with compatible
wireless devices.
If you have any questions regarding the TEW-OA14DK 14dBi Directional
Outdoor Antenna, please contact Trendware Technical Support Department.
