Frequently Asked Questions - PCI-N10 ASUS

How to install the driver for the ASUS PCI-N10 network card?

Insert the support CD into the drive. If auto-run is enabled, follow the instructions. Otherwise, double-click on SETUP.EXE. Select the language, then click 'Install Utilities/Driver'. Follow the wizard by choosing 'Use ASUS WLAN utilities'. Finish by clicking 'Finish'.

What to do if the network card is not detected by Windows?

Check in Device Manager (right-click My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager) that the card appears under 'Network adapters' without an exclamation mark. If it does not appear, reinstall the driver or check that the card is properly seated in the PCI Express slot.

How to connect to a wireless network with the ASUS utility?

Right-click the ASUS icon in the taskbar and select 'Wireless Setting'. Click 'Survey', then 'Search' to list networks. Select the desired network, configure security (WEP key or WPA passphrase) if necessary, then click 'Connect' and 'Save'.

The Wi-Fi connection is slow or the signal is weak, what to do?

Keep the card away from microwaves and large metal objects. Raise the antenna vertically. Move your computer closer to the access point. Check that no other device causes interference on the 2.4 GHz band.

How to use the WPS function to connect the card?

Ensure the access point supports WPS. In the ASUS utility, go to the 'WPS' tab. Select 'Use the WPS button' then click 'Next'. Press the WPS button on the access point. The connection will establish automatically. You can also use a PIN code (8 digits) via 'Use PIN code'.

How to configure the card in software access point (Soft AP) mode?

First connect your computer to a wired network. In the utility, click 'AP' (access point). Go to the 'General' tab and click 'ICS'. Select the shared network then 'Apply'. The card becomes a virtual access point. You can manage clients via 'Configuration > Edit Config > ACL'.

What types of wireless security does the card support?

The ASUS PCI-N10 card supports WEP encryption (64 and 128-bit), WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, with TKIP and AES protocols. For optimal security, use WPA2-PSK with AES.

How to reset the network card?

You can disable and then re-enable the wireless radio: right-click the ASUS icon, select 'WiFi Off' then 'WiFi On'. Or remove the card from the PCI Express slot, wait a few seconds, and reinsert it.

The card does not connect to an Ad Hoc network, why?

Check that the network type is set to 'Ad Hoc' in the configuration. Ensure the SSID is the same on both stations. Also check that the channel and encryption are the same.

The TCP/IP protocol does not bind to the card, what to do?

This can happen if you have too many TCP/IP bindings (6 under Windows 98, 10 under Windows Me). Remove an unused network adapter in Device Manager before installing the wireless card driver.

Federal Communications Commission

This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Prohibition of Co-location

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
