Place the PCI card's antenna in an area where large steel structures such as shelving units,
bookcases, and filing cabinets will not obstruct radio signals being transmitted or received.
Place the antenna away from microwave ovens and 2.4- and 5.8-GHz cordless phones. These
products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the PCI
card.
