2.1.3 Placing the antenna

The WiFi-g™ card comes with an
omni-directional and moveable
dipolar antenna to maximize the
card coverage.
Place the antenna at an elevated
location to receive or transmit better
signal. Do not place the antenna
under your table or in a closed
compartment.
The speed of wireless transmission decreases as you move farther
from the access point. Minimize the distance between the WiFi-g™
card and the access point (Infrastructure mode) or between the
WiFi-g™ card and other wireless devices to achieve a faster data
transmission rate.

2.1.4 Operating range

The ASUS WiFi-g™ card range is dependent on the operating
environment. Every home or office layout varies in obstacles, barriers, or
wall types that could reflect or absorb radio signals. For example, two
wireless devices in an open space can achieve an operating distance of
up to 200ft, while the same devices can only achieve up to 80ft when used
indoors.
