Tenda A3 User Manual

iii. Elevate your router away from floors. You’ll get better reception if the router is on a desk, not
on the floor.
iv. You should also pay attention to the kinds of materials the router is near. For example,
placing the router on a metal desk or up against a metal wall will cause problems. Signals can
travel through a wood desk easily, but metal will obstruct the signals.
Note:A variety of household appliances may cause wireless interference. Depending on the position of the
Tenda device, your networked device, and the appliance, you may even have the wireless network cut out
when your microwave or cordless phone is in use. Plus, older Bluetooth devices can interfere with nearby Wi-
Fi signals, although newer Bluetooth devices don’t. Ensure that microwave isn’t between the Tenda device and
your wireless devices, in this way, problems with microwaves can often be solved.
The Tenda device might be too busy to respond to new requests if there are several computers or
devices using it. If you have other wireless devices that are connecting to the network, try
temporarily disconnecting them.
Interference from other wireless networks in the area can cause issues with your wireless signal.
When multiple wireless networks are competing for the same channel, an unstable and slow
wireless network comes. You can change the wireless channel to fix it. For instructions on
changing the channel, click here.
Note: In the same page where you change the SSID, you can also fix the unstable or slow
wireless network by changing the Network mode from 11b/g/n Mixed Mode to be 11b/g Mixed
Mode.
Changing the security mode may be much helpful in resolving wireless security mode
incompatibleissue.
i. It is highly recommended to use WPA or WPA2 personal as wireless security modes. Other
than providing better security, this will establish a stable connection with your wireless device,
especially devices with the latest technology.
For a Tenda device, you can selectWPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPA
Personal, WPA2 Personal or Mixed WPA-WPA2 Personal as the Security Mode/Network
Authentication.
