ProblemAction

The throughput seems slow.

I can not access the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP web configuration page.

Where can I get a firmware file to upgrade the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP?

Avoid placing the device behind a metal object. Clear obstacles between the AP and the device. Try moving the client closer to the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP and check if the throughput increases. Consider adding a second ASUS Pocket Wireless AP to implement roaming.

To access the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP web configuration page, your computer must have the same subnet as that of the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP.

Adjust your network if your computer’s subnet does not match that of the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP.

The default IP address of the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP is “192.168.1.1”. In special cases, when the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP in Ethernet adapter mode joins an AP network with the same IP address, reset the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP to access the Web Configuration utility again.

You may download the latest firmware file from the ASUS website (www.asus.com).

Use the Firmware Upgrade page in the Web Configuration utility to update the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP firmware.
