Today, I attending the 3Com Product Seminar with Crispin in Northam Hotel. They have a brief introduction of the wireless N technology and the 3Com latest products.

I was attracted to the 3Com AirProtect Wireless Intrusion Prevention System. It continuously scan the airwaves and provide automatic protection against any unauthorized WLAN activities.

At the end of the seminar, as usual we had a lucky draw. The lucky draw prize was a GPS device worth over RM1k. The lucky winner of the lucky draw from a guy from Lantro.

After the seminar, we have a free buffet lunch at the coffee house in Northam Hotel. Too bad can’t eat much because taken too full during my breakfast.

After the lunch, I have to drop by Prangin Mall to pickup my name card. Well, so disappointed that it was printed completely yet because the previous printing have some colour issue and so they have to reprint for me again. Guess have to come back other day to pickup.

I also drop by my cousin’s restaurant, Little Oasis to have some chat with him.

After that I have to get to a customer place to configure the desktop computer to use the USB wireless card to connect to the 3Com OfficeConnect wireless router. Problem is it can detect the access point but couldn’t connect to it. Well, as claimed that it was configure correctly and tested on other computer. I decide to use login into the 3Com OfficeConnect wireless router using the LAN cable. Yes, using LAN cable can work but only wireless that having difficulty to connect to the router. No error message when attempting to connect to the wireless router. No wireless protection (WAP or WEP). Customer wants it to be unprotected wireless network which we don’t advice customer to do so. I found out that the wireless channel was set to channel 11. By recommendation, don’t use channel 11. I always choose between channel 5, 6 and 7. I change it to channel 7 and boom, it works. Now the wireless adapter can connect to the wireless router without a single problem.

That’s the end of my day. Went home and so tired because of the hot weather today. I also have not enough sleep for the pass 2 days. So I take my afternoon sleep before typing this blog.
