business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic
guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the wireless range
extender and your receiving device (e.g., the DWL-650+) to a minimum -
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link AirPlus Wireless product's
range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your Range Extender,
Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number
of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between the wireless range extender, Access
Points, Residential Gateways (routers) and computers. A wall that is 1.5
feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet
(1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position the range extender, Access Points and adapters so that
the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an
angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or
aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the
range extender, Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so
that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other
materials.
5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.
