Improving Wireless Performance
As noted before, the MD1600 has a unique WiFi
SSID/Network Name and WiFi Password/Security Key
printed on the MD1600's back label. Use these unless you
want to change them for some reason. If you do change them,
we suggest that you tape a label with the new SSID and
Password onto the MD1600. (Changing them will not affect
wireless quality.) Instructions for changing the SSID and
Password are at www.motorolanetwork.com/MD1600WiFi
Note that wireless performance depends on a number of
factors. Please keep these things in mind:
• Where possible, put the MD1600 in a central place so that it's
not too far away from your other wireless devices.
• Don't put the MD1600 close to interference-generating wireless
devices such as Bluetooth headsets and stereos, microwave
ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones and base stations, and WiFi
printers.
• Sometimes it helps to change the MD1600 wireless channel
frequency to reduce interference with neighbors' wireless
networks. This is discussed in the Troubleshooting Tips.
• The MD1600 router provides a powerful wireless signal that can
help reach many corners of your house. However, wireless
range can be limited by a variety of issues, including weak
wireless clients and challenging building configurations. Many
devices, such as phones, that you may use to connect to the
MD1600 do not have as powerful a wireless signal. Although
the MD1600's advanced wireless technology can help improve
the performance and range of the devices, often the weaker
signal of your other devices can be a limiting factor. If you need
greater wireless range with the devices in your home, you
could add a Range Extender. For more information, please see
