Follow the instructions to set up the ASUS
Pocket Wireless Router. Tips are displayed when
you move your cursor over an item.
Advanced
This section allows you to set up
additional parameters for the wireless
router function. We recommend that
you use the default values for all
items in this window.
Hide SSID - By default, “No” is selected so that wireless mobile users can
see yourASUS Pocket Wireless Router’s SSID and join. If “Yes” is selected,
your ASUS Pocket Wireless Router will not show in site surveys by wireless
mobile clients and they will have to manually enter yourASUS Pocket Wireless
Router's SSID. If you want to restrict access to “your” ASUS Pocket Wireless
Router, this is a simple way to do it but for security reasons, don’t forget to
change the SSID to something other than “default”.
Data Rate (Mbps) - This field allows you to specify the transmission rate.
Leave on “Auto” to maximize performance versus distance.
Basic Rate Set - This field indicates the basic rates that wireless clients
must support. Use “1 & 2 Mbps” only when backward compatibility is
needed for some older wireless LAN cards with a maximum bit rate of
2Mbps.
