Site Topography
For optimal performance, locate wireless mobile clients and the ASUS
Wireless Routers away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent
lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment.
Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors block
transmission. Locate the ASUS Wireless Routers in open areas or add the
ASUS Wireless Routers as needed to improve coverage.
Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as theASUS Pocket
Wireless Router. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of
the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router you may notice network performanc
degradation. However, both your microwave and your the ASUS Pocket
Wireless Router will continue to function.
Site Surveys
A site survey (utility provided with the WLAN PC card and CF card)
analyzes the installation environment and provides users with
recommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum placement
differs for each model.
