Making Connections
You can use your ASUS WL-HDD2.5 as an Access Point or as a wireless network storage device in an existing WLAN. When the ASUS WL-HDD2.5 is turned on, it searches for other existing Access Points in its vicinity. If no other AP is found, it acts as an AP, while at the same time allowing access to its hard disk drive. If an existing WLAN and AP is found in the vicinity, it acts as a wireless shared hard disk that can be accessed by other wireless clients in the WLAN.
