Installation

Placement of the AP is very important. Do not place the AP in an enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.

Wireless Performance Considerations

The wireless AP allows you to access your network using a wireless connection
from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network.
However, the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects

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 AP and other
LAN LEDs
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points,
wireless APs, 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.

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.
