Observing Location and Range Guidelines
Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly based
on the physical location of the computer with the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter
WG111. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as:
•
Large metal surfaces
•
Microwaves
•
2.4 GHz Cordless phones
In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed
with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are
between the devices.
The WG111 Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter comes with a plastic cradle and velcro fasteners to
facilitate placement in an optimal location. Position the USB Adapter so that the external devices
are less likely to interfere. The USB Adapter should have a clear line of sight to the access point or
router it wirelessly connects to.
