Placement

Wall mounting

Aside from desktop placement, you
can install the ASUS Pocket
Wireless AP vertically on a concrete
or wooden wall using the mounting
hook at the bottom side of the
device.

To mount the device on a concrete or wooden wall:

1. Locate the mounting hook at the bottom of the device.

2. Select an ideal location for the device.

3. Tighten a round head screw on the concrete or wooden wall until only

1/4 inch is showing.

4. Latch the device into the screw until the device is in place.

Mounting hook

Adjust the screw if you cannot latch the device or if the screw is too
loose.

Operating range

2.4.1 Range

The ASUS Pocket Wireless AP range is dependent on the operating
environment. Every home or office layout varies in obstacles, barriers, or
wall types which may reflect or absorb radio signals. For example, two
802.11b devices in an open space may achieve an operating distance of
up to 1000 meters, while the same devices may only achieve up to 300
meters of range when used indoors.

The device automatically adjusts the data rate to maintain an operational
wireless connection. A wireless device that is close to an AP may operate
at higher speeds than a device far from the AP. You can configure the data
rates that a device uses. If you limit the range of data rates available to the
ASUS Pocket AP, you may reduce the effective range of the wireless LAN
coverage.
