• The wireless LAN module is an optional item.
• For detailed information on using the Wireless LAN module, view/
download the RTL8187 Wireless LAN User’s Manual on the
motherboard support CD.
The wireless IEEE 802.11 b/g LAN module is installed on the rear panel.
See page 2-15 for details on how to install the module.

The wireless LAN port on the module accommodates a moveable
omni-directional dual-band antenna to maximize your wireless coverage.
To install the antenna:
1. Locate the wireless LAN antenna port on the rear panel.
2. Connect the antenna twist-on connector (female) to the wireless LAN
antenna port (male).
3. Place the antenna at an elevated location to enhance your wireless
coverage.
• Do not place the antenna under your table or in a closed
compartment.
• The speed of wireless transmission decreases as you move farther
from the access point. To achieve faster data transmission, minimize
the distance between the antenna and the access point
(Infrastructure mode) or other wireless device.
Operating range Operating range Operating range Operating range Operating range
The operating range is dependent on the operating environment. Every
home or office layout varies in obstacles, barriers, or wall types that could
reflect or absorb radio signals. For example, two wireless devices in an open
space can achieve an operating distance of up to 200 ft, while the same
devices can only achieve up to 80 ft when used indoors.
By default, the device automatically adjusts the data rate to maintain an
operational wireless transmission. Therefore, a wireless device that is close
to the access point may operate at higher speeds while a wireless device
far from the access point may operate at lower speeds.
