2.Select an ideal location for the device.
3.Tighten a round head screw on the concrete or wooden wall until only 1/4 inch is showing.
4.Latch the device into the screw until the device is in place.

2.4Operating range
2.4.1 Range
The ASUS Pocket Wireless AP range is dependent on the operating environment. Every home or office layout varies in obstacles, barriers, or wall types which may reflect or absorb radio signals. For example, two 802.11b devices in an open space may achieve an operating distance of up to 1000 meters, while the same devices may only achieve up to 300 meters of range when used indoors.
The device automatically adjusts the data rate to maintain an operational wireless connection. A wireless device that is close to an AP may operate at higher speeds than a device far from the AP. You can configure the data rates that a device uses. If you limit the range of data rates available to the ASUS Pocket AP, you may reduce the effective range of the wireless LAN coverage.
