Product introduction

1-1

1.1 Welcome!

Thank you for choosing the ASUS WiFi-AP Solo wireless solution!

The WiFi-AP Solo is an easy-to-use wireless local area network (WLAN) adapter

designed for home or ofce use. The WiFi-AP Solo is backward compatible with

the earlier IEEE 802.11b standard allowing seamless integration of both wireless

LAN standards in a single network.

The WiFi-AP Solo also supports several wireless network conguration including

Infrastructure, Ad-hoc, and Access Point. This gives you exibility to your existing

or future wireless network congurations.

To provide efcient security to your wireless communication, WiFi-AP Solo

employs both 64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected

Access (WPA/WPA2) encryptions.

With these and many more, ASUS WiFi-AP Solo is sure to keep you ahead in the

world of wireless computing.

1.2 Features

ASUS EZ WiFi mode

Users will be able to play LAN games, connect to the Internet, access and share

printers, and use Skype from anywhere within the range.

WiFi-AP Solo can provide these functions even when the PC is in the sleep mode.

Hence, users can use Skype instead of the traditional long distance telephone

service.

The ASUS EZ WiFi mode will work only on PCs with ASUS Digital Home

motherboards, except for P5LD2-VM DH and N4L-VM DH motherboards.

No hardware installation

Because the WiFi-AP Solo wireless LAN adapter comes embedded in your ASUS

motherboard, no hardware installation is needed. Just install the drivers and utilities

from the motherboard support CD and start computing wirelessly in no time.

54Mbps speed advantage

With data transmission rate up to ve times faster than IEEE 802.11b standards,

the WiFi-AP Solo breaks the wireless data transmission speed barrier to give you

faster Internet connection and le sharing capabilities.

Easy integration

The WiFi-AP Solo is compatible with all IEEE 802.11b devices so you can still use

your IEEE 802.11b devices in the WiFi-AP Solo network.

Access point mode function

In AP Mode, WiFi-AP Solo can support up to 64 stations with wireless LAN

adapters making it an ideal solution for homes and ofces with single Internet

connection or network printer.

Moveable omni-directional antenna

A moveable, omni-directional antenna comes with your WiFi-AP Solo to maximize

your wireless coverage.

with the driver properly installed.

The AP Mode feature is ideal for home/SOHO networks with several computers, a

shared printer, and a shared Internet connection.
