Troubleshooting
ASUS Wireless Router 93
Problem
My 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the ASUS 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 Wireless Router.
2. Confirm that the ASUS Wireless Router and PC Card have the same SSID.
3. Confirm that the ASUS Wireless Router and PC Card have the same
Encryption settings, if enabled.
4. Confirm that the ASUS 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 Wireless Router and throughput
increases, you may want to consider adding a second the ASUS 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.
