Installation
If the cells of multiple ASUS Pocket APs overlap, then the wireless mobile client may switch from one ASUS Pocket Wireless APto another. During the transfer from one ASUS AP to another, the wireless mobile client maintains an uninterrupted connection to the network. This is called “roaming.”
Multiple ASUS Pocket APs connected to a common Ethernet network form an Extended Service Set (ESS). All members of an Extended Service Set are configured with an ID, known as the SSID or ESSID. Wireless mobile clients must be configured with the same SSID as the ASUS Pocket APs on the network since it can only roam between ASUS Pocket APs sharing the same SSID.
Important notes on roaming•An ASUS WLAN card can only roam between APs of the same type.
•All ASUS Pocket Wireless APs must have the same SSID.
•All computers withASUS WLAN cards must have the same SSID as theAccess Points to enable roaming.
•If WEP encryption is enabled, all ASUS APs and client adapters must use the same encryption level and WEP key(s) to establish connection.
•ASUS Pocket Wireless AP’s cells must overlap to provide an uninterrupted connection for a roaming client.
•ASUS Pocket Wireless APs that use the same channel should be installed away from each other to reduce potential interference.
•We strongly recommended that you perform a site survey using the ASUS Pocket Wireless AP utility to determine the best location for each device.
