What is the practical coverage of the Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point?
The coverage of each Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point micro cell varies with physical objects and interference in
the coverage area. The rated coverage is 1500 feet for line of site, open area, optimal conditions, and minimal throughput.
Realistically, in a common home, office, or business environment, each Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point micro cell
has approximately 150 to 250 foot coverage while maintaining optimal throughput.
The coverage of the system is virtually unlimited. By design, the coverage of the system is extended via multiple Access Points
(Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Points) arranged into an overlapping micro cell coverage arrangement, similar to the
cellular telephone system. This allows for virtually unlimited range via roaming, maximum throughput, redundancy, minimized
interference issues, and increased communication reliability.
Does the signal travel through walls?
Yes, the signal travels through many barriers including glass, cement, wood and brick.
What devices cause interference?
The Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point and workstation adapters operate in the unlicensed 2.4 gigahertz (GHz)
band. Other items operating in this frequency range that may cause interference include microwave ovens and 2.4 GHz portable
phones. PCS or analog cellular phones do not operate at 2.4 GHz and do not cause interference. Proper placement of access
points usually eliminates interference problems created by other 2.4 GHz devices.
Can I roam to another subnet with the Dell Wireless 4350 Small Network Access Point?
In order to roam to another subnet, consider implementing a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) and have all access points
located on the same VLAN.
