Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or the o ce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s becoming

so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless connection in public

places is usually called “hotspots”.

Using a D-Link USB Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to the Internet from remote locations like:

Airports, Hotels, Coee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.

Wireless networks are easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to start.

That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless network.

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 to 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 can signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on the same frequency.

Security

Don’t let your next-door neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Secure your wireless network by turning on
