A-4 ASUS WiFi-b™ Card
Problem Action
I cannot connect to another
station (computer with a
wireless LAN device).
• Check if the Network Type of the
WiFi-b™ card is set to Ad Hoc
mode.
• Check if the WiFi-b™ has the
same Service Set Identifier
(SSID) with that of the other
station.
• Check if the WiFi-b™ card and the
other station have the same
Encryption. If WEP encryption is
enabled, set the same WEP keys
for the WiFi-b™ and the AP.
• There is poor signal reception.
Place the WiFi-b™ antenna
nearer to the station.
I cannot connect to other
computers linked via an Access
Point or Ad Hoc network.
• Check if the WiFi-b™ card and the
other APs and/or clients have the
same Encryption. If you enable
WEP encryption, you must set the
same WEP keys for the WiFi-b™
card and the other AP/s and/or
clients.
• Check the TCP/IP settings (IP
address, subnet mask, gateway,
and DNS) of your computer.
• Enable file and printer sharing in
each client computer to allow file
sharing.
I always have poor link quality
and low signal.
Observe the following to achieve better
link quality and stronger signal:
• Keep the WiFi-b™ away from
microwave ovens and large metal
objects to avoid radio interference.
• Reorient the WiFi-b™ antenna.
• Shorten the distance between the
WiFi-b™ card and the AP/station.
