7 FAQ


The data transfer is very slow, what can I do?

Some homes and most offices are steel-framed structures. The steel in such buildings may

interfere with your network’s radio signals, thus causing a slowdown in the data

transmission rate. Try moving your notebooks to different locations in the building to see if

performance improves.

You may have moved from 3G (UMTS/HSPA) to 2G (GPRS/EDGE) coverage. The type of

coverage is indicated in the signal strength meter. If you have a 3G subscription, try moving



back to the 3G coverage area in order to increase the data transfer speed.

Your notebook may be connected to another Local Area Network connection. This condition

occurs if you dock your system into a docking station that has an active Ethernet port while

your Mobile Broadband Module is still active and connected. This is because Windows must

now handle two active network connections. Try choosing only one of the connections.

A VPN connection can make the transfer slower.

My connection is active but I cannot browse web pages, what can I do?

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings and un-check

the Proxy Server checkbox.

You may need to configure a proxy server for your web browser. Check with your system

provider or network administrator. To enter the configuration, go to Tools- Internet Options-

Connections- LAN Settings.
