If the adapter is listed but can not enable the connection, please check the Properties panel to make sure no resource conflicts. • If your client has a valid IP address, you can use “ping” to verify network connectivity. Run a command window from the client’s PC’s start menu and ping your AP’s LAN IP address. If pinging your AP repeatedly timeout, you should try following: ) Check both AT-TQ2403 and the wireless adapter use compatible 802.11 standards and the same SSID. ) Check your AP’s setting and compare it with your client’s wireless parameters. Resetting Factory Default Configuration If you are experiencing problems with the AT-TQ2403 and have tried all other troubleshooting measures, use the Reset Configuration function. This will restore factory defaults and clear all settings, including settings such as a new password or wireless settings. Hold in the Reset button until the TEST LED turns on to restore the factory default settings.

24 AT-TQ2403 - IEEE 802.11abgh, Dual Radio, Enterprise Wireless Access Point - Installation Guide Appendix B: Radio Bands Allied Telesis’s AT-TQ2403 IEEE 802.11abgh, Dual Radio, Enterprise Wireless Access Point is capable of operating in the 2.4GHz (IEEE 802.11g/b) and in the 5GHz band (IEEE 802.11a/h) simultaneously. Some of the advantages of the 802.11a/h option are: • Higher performance. 802.11a can deliver data rates up to 54Mbps and there is enough room in the 5GHz spectrum to support up to 12 access points (depending on local regulations) operating in the same area without causing interference between access points. This equates to 648Mbps (12 X 54Mbps) total data rate performance. With 802.11g, you have only three non-overlapping channels for setting access point frequencies, which can limit capacity. • Less RF interference: The growing use of 2.4GHz cordless phones and Bluetooth devices is crowding the radio spectrum within many facilities. This significantly decreases the performance of 802.11g wireless LANs. The use of 802.11a operating in the relatively un-crowded 5GHz band avoids this interference. • Ability to use the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) feature utilizing the 802.11a radio for bridging to another access point while servicing 802.11g customers without using user bandwidth for the bridging function.
