• The range of wireless devices can be affected by metal surfaces, solid high-density
materials and obstacles in the signal path.
Table “Radio Characteristics” lists the typical ranges when used indoors:
• In Open Office environments, clients can “see” each other, i.e. there are no physical
obstructions between them.
• In Semi-open Office environments, work space is separated by room dividers; client
cards are at desktop level.
• In Closed Office environments, workspace is separated by floor-to-ceiling brick walls.

Note:
The range values listed in Table “Radio Characteristics” are typical distances as
measured at Buffalo Technology AirStation laboratories. These values are provided for
your guidance but may vary according to the actual radio conditions at the location
where the AirStation product is installed.
AirStation IEEE 802.11 Channel Sets
The range of the wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the wireless
communication. Communications at a lower Transmit range may travel longer distances.

Common Problems
• Out of range, client cannot connect to the AirStation.
• Configuration mismatch, client cannot connect to the AirStation.
• Absence or conflict with the Client Driver.
• Conflict of another device with the AirStation hardware.
LED Activity
Monitoring LED activity helps identify problems.
• Power LED should be Green,
• Wireless LED should be Green if the line is active.
If is it blinking Green, wireless
communication is active.
• Ethernet LED should be Green (100Mbps) or Amber (10Mbps) while the communication
is active.
• The Red Diag LED will flash during boot and firmware updates.
DIAG LED Activity
Unplug the power for three seconds. Plug the power back in to monitor the Diag LEDs
during start-up.

LEDs Work But Client PC Cannot Connect to Network
If the LEDs indicate that the network is working properly (Power LED is on, Transmit/
Receive LED blinks), check the TCP/IP settings of the network.
Changing Client TCP/IP Settings in Windows
Consult the LAN Administrator for correct TCP/IP settings.
To add or change TCP/IP Settings:
1. On the Windows task bar, click Start.
2. Select Settings, then Control Panel.
3. Double-click on the Network icon to view Network Properties.
4. From the list of installed components, verify the TCP/IP => wireless LAN adapter
protocol is installed.
