ASUS Pocket Wireless Router 61
Problem
My 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router.
Solution
Follow these steps:
1. Try to bring the devices closer together; the PC Card may be out of range
of the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router.
2. Confirm that the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router and PC Card have the same SSID.
3. Confirm that the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router and PC Card have the
same Encryption settings, if enabled.
4. Confirm that the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router’s Air and Link LEDs are
solid green.
5. Confirm that the authorization table includes or excludes the MAC address
of the WLAN PC card if “Wireless Access Control” is enabled.
Problem
The throughput seems slow.
Solution
To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed,
not behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. If
you move the client closer to the ASUS Pocket Wireless Router and
throughput increases, you may want to consider adding a second the ASUS
Pocket Wireless Router and implementing roaming.
• Check antenna, connectors and cabling.
• Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.
• Check to see that the wired network does not exceed 10 broadcast messages
per second.
• Verify wired network topology and configuration.
