2.1 Installation
2.1.1 System requirements
Before installing the WiFi-AP @n drivers and utilities, make sure that your system
meets the following requirements.
• ASUS motherboard with WiFi-AP @n onboard solution
• Minimum 256MB system memory
• Operating system:
Client mode: Windows® XP/ Vista / 7 (32-bit / 64-bit)
AP mode: Windows® XP/ Vista / 7 (32-bit / 64-bit)
• Optical drive for utilities and driver installation
2.1.2 Signal range
The signal range of WiFi-AP @n depends on the operating environment. Obstacles
such as walls and metal barriers could reflect or absorb radio signals. Devices
such as microwave stove can also greatly interfere with the wireless network.
Signal range:
• 802.11g: Indoor 80ft (30m), outdoor (LOS, Light-Of-Sight) 200ft (60m)
• 802.11b: Indoor 130ft (40m), outdoor (LOS, Light-Of-Sight) 1000ft
(310m)
• 802.11n: Indoor 330ft (100m), outdoor (LOS, Light-Of-Sight) 980ft
(300m)
By default, the device automatically adjusts the data rate and the closer the
wireless station is, the better signal and transmit speed it receives. To improve your
wireless transmission, move your wireless stations closer to the WiFi-AP @n.
