User's Manual

The key to maximizing the wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

n Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances

that generate RF noise. The location should be away from transformers, heavy-duty motors,

fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators.

n Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the AP and other network devices to a minimum - each

wall or ceiling can reduce your AP’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so

that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

n Be a ware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters),

at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks

over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a

wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

n Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have

a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters

so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

Checking the LED Indicators
