4. PerformanceASUS Wireless Router 89Chapter 4 - Wireless Performance4. Wireless PerformanceThis section provides the user with ideas for how to improve the performanceof a ASUS Wireless network.Site TopographyFor optimal performance, locate wireless mobile clients and the ASUSWireless Routers away from transformers, heavy-duty motors, fluorescentlights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other industrial equipment.Signal loss can occur when metal, concrete, walls or floors blocktransmission. Locate the ASUS Wireless Routers in open areas or add theASUS Wireless Routers as needed to improve coverage.Microwave ovens operate in the same frequency band as the ASUS WirelessRouter. Therefore, if you use a microwave within range of the ASUSWireless Router you may notice network performance degradation.However, both your microwave and your the ASUS Wireless Router willcontinue to function.Site SurveysA site survey (utility provided with the WLAN PC card and CF card)analyzes the installation environment and provides users withrecommendations for equipment and its placement. The optimum placementdiffers for each model.
4. Performance90 ASUS Wireless RouterChapter 4 - Wireless PerformanceRangeEvery environment is unique with different obstacles, barriers, materials,etc. and, therefore, it is difficult to determine the exact range that will beachieved without testing. However, has developed some guidelines toestimate the range that users will see when the product is installed in theirfacility, but there are no hard and fast specifications.Radio signals may reflect off of some obstacles or be absorbed by othersdepending on their construction. For example, with two 802.11b radios,you may achieve up to 1000' in open space outdoors where two deviceshave a line of sight, meaning they see each other with no obstacles. However,the same two units may only achieve up to 300' of range when used indoors.The IEEE 802.11b specification supports four data rates: 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps,2 Mbps, and 1 Mbps. Operation at 1 Mbps provides greater range thanoperation at 11 Mbps. The ASUS Wireless Router will automatically adjustthe data rate to maintain a usable radio connection.Therefore, a client that is close to the ASUS Wireless Router may operateat 11 Mbps while a client that is on the fringe of coverage may operate at 1Mbps. As mentioned earlier, you can configure the data rates that the ASUSWireless Router will use. Note that if you limit the range of data ratesavailable to the ASUS Wireless Router, you may reduce the effectivewireless range of the ASUS Wireless products.

TroubleshootingASUS Wireless Router 93ProblemMy 802.11b PC Card will not associate with the ASUS Wireless Router.SolutionFollow these steps:1. Try to bring the devices closer together; the PC Card may be out of rangeof 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 sameEncryption settings, if enabled.4. Confirm that the ASUS Wireless Router’s Air and Link LEDs are solidgreen.5. Confirm that the authorization table includes or excludes the MAC addressof the WLAN PC card if “Wireless Access Control” is enabled.ProblemThe throughput seems slow.SolutionTo achieve maximum throughput, verify that your antennas are well-placed,not behind metal, and do not have too many obstacles between them. Ifyou move the client closer to the ASUS Wireless Router and throughputincreases, you may want to consider adding a second the ASUS WirelessRouter 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 messagesper second.• Verify wired network topology and configuration.Appendix -Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting94 ASUS Wireless RouterProblemI cannot find the ASUS Wireless Routers using the ASUS Wireless RouterDiscovery.SolutionTo configure the ASUS Wireless Router through a wireless LAN card, yourcomputer must be in the same subnet of the ASUS Wireless Router. Youcannot find the ASUS Wireless Routers with subnet different from yourcomputer within the same gateway. You must change your computer to thesame subnet as the ASUS Wireless Router. The factory default subnet ofthe ASUS Wireless Router is "192.168.1.1".In Windows NT/2000/XP, you must log in with Administrator privi-leges so that all functions of the ASUS Wireless Router Managercan function correctly. If you do not log in as a member of the Ad-ministrator group, you cannot change IP settings but can still runthe Discovery utility if the original IP setting is correct.ProblemHow do I upgrade the firmware on the ASUS Wireless Router?SolutionPeriodically, a new Flash Code is available for ASUS Wireless Routers onthe Web site at http://www.asus.com. Update the ASUS Wireless Router sFlash Code using the Firmware Upgrade option on the System Setupmenu of the Web manager.Appendix -Troubleshooting
AppendixASUS Wireless Router 95GlossaryAccess Point - An access point is a device that allows wireless clients toconnect to other wireless clients and it acts as a bridge between wirelessclients and a wired Ethernet network.Broadband - A type of data transmission in which a single medium (suchas cable) carries several channels of data at once.Channel - Wireless access points allows you to choose different radiochannels in the wireless spectrum. A wireless LAN device operates withinthe 2.4 GHz spectrum and a channel is within a FCC specified range, similarto any radio channel.Client - A client is the desktop or mobile PC that is connected to yournetwork.Device name - Also known as DHCP client ID or network name. Sometimesprovided by an ISP when using DHCP to assign addresses.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - This protocol allows acomputer (or many computers on your network) to be automatically assigneda single IP address from a DHCP server.DNS Server Address (Domain Name System) - DNS allows Internet hostcomputers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses. A DNSserver keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain namesand IP addresses, so that when a user enters a domain name into the Internetbrowser, the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server addressused by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNSserver your ISP has assigned.DSL Modem (Digital Subscriber Line) - A DSL modem uses your existingphone lines to transmit data at high speeds.Encryption - This provides wireless data transmissions with a level ofsecurity.ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) - You must have the same ESSIDentered into the gateway and each of its wireless clients. The ESSID is aunique identifier for your wireless network.Ethernet - Ethernet networks are connected by cables and hubs, and movedata around. This is a standard for computer networks.Appendix - Glossary
Appendix96 ASUS Wireless RouterFrame-bursting - Refers to burst mode. Burst mode optionally allows astation to transmit a series of frames without relinquishing control of thetransmission medium.Firewall - A firewall determines which information passes in and out of anetwork. NAT can create a natural firewall by hiding a local network’s IPaddresses from the Internet. A Firewall prevents anyone outside of yournetwork from accessing your computer and possibly damaging or viewingyour files.Gateway - A network point that manages all the data traffic of your network,as well as to the Internet and connects one network to another.Handshaking - handshaking refers to the signals that are transmittedbetween communications networks that establish a valid connection betweentwo stations.IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEEsets standards for networking, including Ethernet LANs. IEEE standardsensure interoperability between systems of the same type.IP Address (Internet Protocol) - An IP address consists of a series of fournumbers separated by periods, that identifies a unique Internet computerhost, allowing messages intended for that computer to be delivered to thecorrect destination.ISP (Internet Service Provider) - An ISP is a business that allowsindividuals or businesses to connect to the Internet. Users log on to theInternet using an account with an ISP or Internet Service Provider. ISPscan serve IP addresses dynamically, or assign static (fixed) IP addresses toindividual computers.ISP Gateway Address - The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for theInternet router. This address is only required when using a cable or DSLmodem.LAN (Local Area Network) - A LAN is a group of computers and devicesconnected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office).Your home network is considered a LAN.MAC Address (Media Access Control) - A MAC address is the hardwareaddress of a device connected to a network.Appendix - Glossary
AppendixASUS Wireless Router 97NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT masks a local network’s groupof IP addresses from the external network, allowing a local network ofcomputers to share a single ISP account. This process allows all of thecomputers on your home network to use one IP address. This will enableaccess to the Internet from any computer on your home network withouthaving to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.PC Card - This is an Ethernet card that connects to the PCMCIA slot onyour Notebook PC. This enables the computer to communicate with wirelessaccess points.PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) - PPP is a protocol for communicationbetween computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computerconnected by phone line to a server.PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) - Point-to-Point Protocolis a method of secure data transmission. PPP using Ethernet to connect toan ISP.Subnet Mask - A subnet mask is a set of four numbers configured like anIP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within aparticular network.TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) - This is thestandard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Protocols used toconnect hosts on the Internet.WAN (Wide Area Network) - A system of LANs, connected together. Anetwork that connects computers located in separate areas, (i.e., differentbuildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.WECA (Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance) - An industry groupthat certifies cross-vender interoperability and compatibility of IEEE802.11b wireless networking products and to promote that standard forenterprise, small business, and home environments.WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - This is a group of computersand other devices connected wirelessly in a small area.

Appendix100 ASUS Wireless RouterPreambleThe licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom toshare and change it. By contrast, he GNU General Public License is intendedto guarantee your freedom to share and change free software—to makesure the software is free for all its users. This General Public Licenseapplies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to anyother program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free SoftwareFoundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public Licenseinstead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have thefreedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service ifyou wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that youcan change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and thatyou know you can do these things.To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone todeny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictionstranslate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of thesoftware, or if you modify it.For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis orfor a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You mustmake sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you mustshow them these terms so they know their rights.We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distributeand/or modify the software.Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain thateveryone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If thesoftware is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipientsto know that what they have is not the original, so that any problemsintroduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. Wewish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program willindividually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed foreveryone’s free use or not licensed at all.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modificationfollow.Appendix - GNU General Public License
AppendixASUS Wireless Router 101Appendix - GNU General Public LicenseTerms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modification0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a noticeplaced by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the termsof this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any suchprogram or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either theProgram or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a workcontaining the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or withmodifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Eachlicensee is addressed as “you”.Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not coveredby this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Programis not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if itscontents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of havingbeen made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on whatthe Program does.1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source codeas you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously andappropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice anddisclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this Licenseand on the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of theProgram a copy of this License along with the Program.You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and youmay at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute suchmodifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided thatyou also meet all of these conditions:a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stat-ing that you changed the files and the date of any change.b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in wholeor in part contains or so derived from the Program or any part thereof,to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under theterms of this License.
Appendix102 ASUS Wireless Routerc) If the modified program normally reads commands interactivelywhen run, you must cause it, when started running for such interac-tive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announce-ment including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice thatthere is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty)and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions,and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception:if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print suchan announcement, your work based on the Program is not requiredto print an announcement.)These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiablesections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can bereasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, thenthis License, and its terms, d not apply to those sections when you distributethem as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as partof a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of thewhole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for otherlicensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every partregardless of who wrote it.Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rightsto work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right tocontrol the distribution of derivative or collective works based on theProgram.In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Programwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of astorage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under thescope of this License.3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, underSection 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readablesource code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software inter-change; or,Appendix - GNU General Public License
AppendixASUS Wireless Router 103Appendix - GNU General Public Licenseb) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, togive any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physi-cally performing source distribution, a complete machine-readablecopy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under theterms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used forsoftware interchange; or,c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer todistribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowedonly for noncommercial distribution and only if you received theprogram in object code or executable form with such an offer, inaccord with Subsection b above.)The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for makingmodifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code meansall the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interfacedefinition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installationof the executable. However, as a special exception, the source codedistributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in eithersource or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, andso on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless thatcomponent itself accompanies the executable.If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access tocopy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy thesource code from the same place counts as distribution of te source code,even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along withthe object code.4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except asexpressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to cop, modify,sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminateyour rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminatedso long as such parties remain in full compliance.
Appendix104 ASUS Wireless Router5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute theProgram or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if youdo not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing theProgram (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptanceof this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor tocopy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise ofthe rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing complianceby third parties to this License.7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringementor for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposedon you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict theconditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions ofthis License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously yourobligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then asa consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if apatent license could not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Programby all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then theonly way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrainentirely from distribution of the Program.I any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under anyparticular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply andthe section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents orother property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; thissection has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free softwaredistribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Manypeople have made generous contributions to the wide range of softwaredistributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of thatsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing todistribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot imposethat choice.Appendix - GNU General Public License
AppendixASUS Wireless Router 105Appendix - GNU General Public LicenseThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be aconsequence of the rest of this License.8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countrieseither by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holderwho places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographicaldistribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution ispermitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, thisLicense incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions ofthe General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will besimilar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to addressnew problems or concerns.Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Programspecifies a version number of his License which applies to it and “any laterversion”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions eitherof that version or of any later version published by the Free SoftwareFoundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of thisLicense, you may choose any version ever published by the Free SoftwareFoundation.10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programswhose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask forpermission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free SoftwareFoundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes makeexceptions for this.
