Wireless Installation

Considerations

The D-Link wireless adapter 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 adapter

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 difference. A solid metal door or aluminum

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access

points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes

through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as

glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (ﬁsh tanks), mirrors, ﬁle

cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

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 systems), your

wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely.

Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless

devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone

in not in use.
