Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind when installing 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 would
significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on same frequency.
Security
Don't let you unauthorized users connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on the WPA or WEP security feature
on the router. Refer to "Wireless Settings" on page 22 for detailed information on how to set up wireless security.
