Troubleshooting

I am unable to connect my antenna to my wireless router or access point.

Q1:

What should I do?

The connector type on your wireless router or access point must be reverse

A1:

SMA male. Contact the manufacturer of your wireless router or access point
regarding the antenna connector type.

Why do some of my wireless PCs receive a strong wireless signals, while

Q2:

other PCs receive a weaker signal?

The TEW-AO12O is an Omni directional antenna and can only send and

A2:

receive signals from a specified radius. You can adjust the position of the wireless
router or access point, extend your TEW-AO12O to an optimal location or move
those wireless PCs closer to the wireless access point or router.

My Access Point indicates that it is receiving power, and my laptop is within

Q3:

range of the TEW-AO12O. However, my laptop does not receive any signals from
my Access Point.

Make sure that you properly connect the antenna to the Access Point. (See 2.

A3:

Does the TEW-AO12O work with my IEEE 802.11a wireless router, access

Q4:

point or wireless adapter?

No. The TEW-AO12O is only compatible with IEEE 802.11/b/g wireless

A4:

devices.

Is it necessary to use the mounting kit that comes with the TEW-AO12O?

Q5:

It is only necessary if you decide to mount the TEW-AO12O at a permanent

location. Use discretion when attaching the mounting brackets to the
TEW-AO12O.
