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. Minimizethenumberofwallsandceilingsbetweenyouradapterandothernetworkdevices(suchasyourNetworkCamera)-

eachwallorceilingcanreduceyouradapter’srangefrom3-90feet(1-30meters).

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 your 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weakenthewirelesssignal.Trytoposition

your access points, wireless routers, and other networking devices where the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.

Materialsandobjectssuchasglass,steel,metal,wallswithinsulation,water(shtanks),mirrors,lecabinets,brick,andconcrete

will degrade your wireless signal.

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

5. Ifyouareusing2.4GHzcordlessphonesorotherradiofrequencysources(suchasmicrowaveovens),yourwirelessconnection

possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
