• Interference to or from a cordless phone (any device operating at 2.4GHz)
• Interference from fridges, microwave ovens etc.
• Out of date or incorrectly con gured Wi-Fi drivers on a PC
• Need to disable ‘Centrino’ (inbuilt wireless devices that some PCs have)
• If a PC has rewall software, it needs to be con gured to allow the Wi-Fi connection.
The rewall software may need to be deactivated or disabled.
• A wireless adaptor may be faulty
