To install the antenna: 1. Locate the wireless LAN antenna port on the card bracket. 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 WiFi-TV and the access point (Infrastructure mode) or the other wireless device.
ASUS WiFi-TV ASUS WiFi-TV ASUS WiFi-TV ASUS WiFi-TV ASUS WiFi-TV 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 Operating range Operating range Operating range Operating range Operating range The WiFi-TV 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. Site survey Site survey Site survey Site survey Site survey A site survey (provided with the ASUS WiFi-TV card) analyzes the installation environment and recommends the best location for wireless LAN devices and access points.
