Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines

For best performance, place the wireless-N USB adapter at least 4 feet (over 1 meter) away from
the wireless router or access point.
Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range that varies significantly based on
the physical location of the computer with the wireless-N USB adapter. For best results, avoid
potential sources of interference, such as the following:
• 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 decreases if such materials are
between the devices.
