microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, fluorescent lights and other industrial equipments. Keep the
number of walls or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible. Otherwise the signal strength
may be seriously reduced. Place WAP-4033PE in a open space or add additional WAP-4033PE as
needed to improve the coverage.
2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environment factors. Every environment is unique
with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact
operation rage of WAP-4033PE in a specific location without testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The bundle antenna of WAP-4033PE is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing straight up,
then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal reception is definitely weak
in some certain areas, such as location right down the antenna.
Moreover, the original antenna of WAP-4033PE can be replaced with other external antennas to
extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure
it can be used on WAP-4033PE.
4. WLAN Type
If WAP-4033PE is installed in an 802.11b and 802.11g mixed WLAN, its performance will reduced
significantly. Because every 802.11g OFDM packet needs to be preceded by an RTS-CTS or CTS
packet exchange that can be recognized by legacy 802.11b devices. This additional overhead
lowers the speed. If there are no 802.11b devices connected, or if connections to all 802.11b devices
are denied so that WAP-4033PE can operate in 11g-only mode, then its data rate should actually
54Mbps.
