Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link wireless access point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the

operatingrangeofyourwirelessnetwork.Keepinmind,however,thatthenumber,thicknessandlocationofwalls,ceilings,

orotherobjectsthatthewirelesssignalsmustpassthrough,maylimittherange.Typicalrangesvarydependingonthetypes

ofmaterialsandbackgroundRF(radiofrequency)noiseinyourhomeorbusiness.Thekeytomaximizingwirelessrangeisto

follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point and other network devices to a minimum.

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

the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2.Beawareofthedirectlinebetweennetworkdevices.Awallthatis1.5feetthick(.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.

3. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on

range.Trytopositionaccesspoints,wirelessaccesspoints,andcomputerssothatthesignalpassesthrough

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF

noise.

5.Ifyouareusing2.4GHzcordlessphonesorX-10(wirelessproductssuchasceilingfans,lights,andhomesecurity

CentralizeyouraccesspointorAccessPoint

Make sure you place the bridge/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try to

placethebridge/accesspointashighaspossibleintheroom,sothesignalgetsdispersedthroughoutyourhome.Ifyouhave

Eliminate Interference

Placehomeappliancessuchascordlesstelephones,microwaves,wirelessspeakers,andtelevisionsasfarawayaspossiblefrom

the bridge/access point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate

on same frequency.
