Checking the Data of the Ad-hoc Connection
Switching the WLAN Channel
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick and a further WLAN adapter are
connected directly via WLAN, but cannot exchange any data
with each other.
Possible Cause
The IP address was not assigned by Windows automatically
(note: the process can take up to three minutes), or the network
key, workgroup or ad-hoc network names do not match.
Remedy
Make sure that the ad-hoc network name of your connection
and the network key match, and that automatic assignment of
IP addresses is enabled in your operating system. The connect-
ed computers must be in the same working group (see also:
“Encryption” from page 30 and “Checking the IP Settings” from
page 41).
An undefined malfunction occurs.
Possible Cause
Radio traffic is subjected to interference by strong irradiation.
Remedy
Switch the WLAN channel setting on the access point.
Find a better location for the WLAN devices to avoid potential
interference from baby monitors, video bridges, microwaves,
cordless DECT telephones or Bluetooth devices.
