4.5Reading the Link Status Page and Obtaining the Strongest Connection

The Link Status page gives you information regarding your current wireless channel, transmit rate (speed) and link/signal quality. You will use this utility to figure out which antenna position results in the best performance and connection.

1)First you must determine where the location of your Wireless Access Point is within your network.

2)Position the directional antenna towards the location of the Access Point.

3)While viewing your Link Status utility, rotate the antenna clockwise and counter-clockwise slowly to figure out which position gives you the highest Link Quality and Signal Strength. Once you have determined which position gives you the best signal, leave the antenna in that orientation.

4)When you are not using the HWUG1 Wireless-G USB Adapter, carefully pull out the unit from the computer’s USB port and put it in a safe place.
