Recommended Wireless Environment

The following information helps you to achieve the best wireless
performance:
! Placing your Wireless Ethernet Bridge in the physical center of
your network is the premium location because the antenna
radiates out the signal in all directions.
! Placing the unit in a higher location, such as atop a cabinet, helps
to disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving locations on
upper stories.
! Direct line of sight achieves better performance, but obviously is
not always achievable.
! Try to avoid placing the unit next to large solid objects like
computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the
signal penetrate more cleanly.
! Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves and
2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal. Keep
devices away from the unit.
