Improving WiFi Performance
As noted before, the ML2410 has a unique WiFi SSID/Network Name and
WiFi Password/Security Key printed on the ML2410's bottom 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 ML2410. (Changing them will not affect WiFi quality.)
Note that WiFi performance depends on a number of factors. Please keep
these things in mind:
• Where possible, put the ML2410 in a central place so that it's not too far
away from your other WiFi devices.
• Don't put the ML2410 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.
• The ML2410 router provides a powerful WiFi signal that can help reach
many corners of your house. However, WiFi range can be limited by a
variety of issues, including weak WiFi clients and challenging building
configurations. Many devices, such as phones, that you may use to connect to
the ML2410 do not have as powerful a WiFi signal. Although the ML2410's
advanced WiFi 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 have coaxial cable running near your router and a distant WiFi access
point, HDTV, or other device, MoCA is often a good way to connect the
router to the device. MoCA can share the same cable used for cable TV,
cable Internet, or FiOS fiber optic service. With the Motorola MM1000
MoCA Adapter, speeds are up to 1,000 Mbps.
