computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
• Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwave ovens, and
2.4 GHz cordless phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
• To provide the best side-to-side coverage, put the gateway in a vertical position.
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and the gateway location. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also,
WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
