Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.
Centralize Your Router or Access Point
Make sure you place the router/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance.
Try to place the router/access point as high as possible in the room so the signal gets dispersed throughout your
home. If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal and extend the range.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the
router/access point. This will significantly reduce any interference that appliances operating on the same frequency
might cause.
Security
Don't let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by
turning on the WPA or WEP security feature on the router. Refer to the product manual for detailed information on
how to set it up.
