ASUS WL-330gE Portable Wireless Access Point

2.3 Placement

Wall mounting

Aside from desktop placement,

you can install the ASUS Portable

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.

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

Operating range

The ASUS Portable 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 Portable Wireless AP, you

may reduce the effective range of the wireless LAN coverage.
