Section 2 - Installation

The D-Link wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the

operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings,

or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types

of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to

follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link router and other network devices to a minimum - each wall

or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of

walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. 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 devices so that

the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on range. Try

to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways.

Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and

concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security

systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base

is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
