Wireless Cable Voice Gateway Model CVG824G Reference Manual
• Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwave ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
• Away from large metal surfaces.
• Put the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna
in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage.
• If using multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security
settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP
encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.
