50 ASUS 802.11g Access Point
Chapter 4 -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.
