NHD1W User Guide
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as
those listed above are not blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the
NHD1W).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above
issues, and you have a cordless phone:

Try moving cordless phones away from your NHD1W and your wireless-
enabled computers.

Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the
2.3 GHz / 4 GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the
problem, your phone may be interfering with the NHD1W.

If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone
to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the
phone to channel 1 and move your NHD1W to channel 11. See your phone’s
user manual for detailed instructions. If necessary, consider switching to a
900 MHz or 5 GHz cordless phone.
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your
Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings
or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with
your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the software provided
with your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available
(see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your NHD1W and computers
to a channel as far away from other networks as possible. Refer to section Wireless
LAN (WLAN) on page 40.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, to find the clearest
connection and to avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other
wireless devices.
