ASUS 802.11g Access Point

Chapter -Troubleshooting

Problem
My ASUS WLAN Card will not associate with the ASUS AP.

Solution
Follow these steps:
1. Make sure that your WLAN Card is of the same specifications as the

WLAN Access Point.

2. Try to bring the devices closer together; the ASUS WLAN Card may be

out of range of the ASUS AP.

3. Confirm that the ASUS AP and ASUS WLAN Card have the same

SSID.

4. Confirm that the ASUS AP and ASUS WLAN Card have the same

Encryption settings, if enabled.

5. Confirm that the ASUS AP’s Air and Link LEDs are solid green.
6. Confirm that the authorization table includes the MAC address of the

ASUS WLAN Card if “Authorization Table” is enabled.

7. Confirm that the operational mode is “Access Point” mode.
8. Confirm that the ASUS AP and ASUS WLAN Card have the same

preamble mode.

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 AP and throughput increases, you may

want to consider adding a second ASUS AP 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.
