Troubleshooting Guide
This document provides solutions to common problems
encountered with the Broadband Router.Wireless
Please refer to this guide before contacting Sony
Customer Information Services.
The PCWA-AR800 consists of:
• Broadband Router Unit PCWA-R1
• Wireless LAN Access Point PCWA-A820
In this document, we refer to the Broadband Router Unit as the
Router Unit and to the Wireless LAN Access Point as the Access
Point.
The PCWA-AR800 can be used at frequency settings of 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz. Change this setting as necessary. (By default, the
PCWA-AR800 is set to 2.4 GHz.)
Preparations
Case 1 No communication between the computer and
Wireless Broadband Router
1Are you attempting to establish a connection at a frequency
of 5 GHz?
The default wireless broadband frequency setting is 2.4 GHz. If you want to establish a wireless
connection at 5 GHz, access the Access Point Setup page through a wired network, and change
the frequency setting to 5 GHz (802.11a). Refer to the separate Quick Start Guide for details about
how to display the Access Point Setup page.

by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet” check box.
5Click “OK”.
Refer to Windows XP Help for details about the “Internet Connection Firewall” function.
Note
Make sure that you take appropriate security measures when the “Internet Connection Firewall” function is
disabled. Except when configuring the Access Point, it is strongly recommended that you enable the “Internet
Connection Firewall” function at all times.
■When using a personal firewall software provided standalone
or as part of an antivirus or network security software
Antivirus scanning and network security software sometimes includes a function called a
“personal firewall”, intended to prevent unauthorized access by other computers. Depending on
the software, the security level of this function may initially be set to a high level. If this high
security level setting is left enabled, other computers may be unable to access your computer. This
can cause problems such as not being able to connect to the network when changing the Wireless
LAN Converter or Access Point settings. In this event, lower the security level to allow the
network connection. Refer to the software instructions or Help for details.
Notes
• Make sure that you take appropriate security measures.
• For questions about firewall functions, contact your firewall software manufacturer.
