Chapter 4: Specification 14 www.phicomm.com 150Mbps Wireless N Mini USB Adapter Appendix A: Troubleshooting 1. How do I know if my adapter is installed properly?
Right click on My Computer icon on your desktop screen, and then choose Manage. Expand Network Adapters, you can see PHICOMM Wireless LAN802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter, right click on it, and choose Properties. Appendix A: Troubleshooting 15 www.phicomm.com 150Mbps Wireless N Mini USB Adapter Look under Device Status to check that the device is working properly. 2. The computer does not recognize the wireless network Adapter. Make sure that the Wireless Network Adapter is properly seated in the computers USB port. If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the adapter, make sure to completely remove drivers that were previously loaded. 3. Cannot connect to any access points. Verify that the wireless network adapter is in infrastructure mode. Verify that the SSID of your wireless network adapter is set to the same SSID of your access point. Verify that the encryption type is the same as that of an access point. If you enabled WEP encryption, you must also set the same WEP Keys on both sides. 4. The network is slow /having problem when transferring large files. Move closer to the place where access point is located. There could be too much people using the same radio channel. Ask the owner of the access point to change the channel number.

Appendix B: Certification 18 www.phicomm.com 150Mbps Wireless N Mini USB Adapter Appendix C: Glossary WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network. 802.11: A family of specifications developed by the IEEE for WLAN technology. 802.11a: An extension to 802.11 WLAN standard that provides up to 54 Mbps transmission in the 5 GHz UNI radio band. 802.11b: An extension to 802.11 WLAN standard that provides up to 11 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz ISM radio band. 802.11b uses DSSS modulation. 802.11g: An extension to 802.11 WLAN standard that provides up to 54 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz ISM radio band. 802.11b uses OFDM modulation and is backwards compatible with 802.11b. 802.11n: 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium
(EWC) was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking
(WLAN) products. Ad-Hoc: A group of computers each with wireless adapters, connected as an independent WLAN. AES: Advanced Encryption Standard. SSID: Service Set Identifier. A 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy. A security protocol for WLANs defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA2: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. The next generation of Wi-Fi security, based on the 802.11i standard. WPA2-PSK: Wi-Fi Protected Access 2-Pre-shared Keys.
