D-Link DP-G310 [9/88] Wireless basics cont

Standards-Based Technology

Based on the IEEE 802.11g standard, the DP-G310 is interoperable with existing

compatible 2.4GHz wireless technology with data transfer speeds of up to 54Mbps

when used with other D-Link AirPlus G devices.

Installation Considerations

The D-Link AirPlus G DP-G310 lets you print through your network, using a

wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. 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:

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DP-G310 and other

network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your D-Link

wireless product’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices

so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

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). Position devices so that the

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

better reception.

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical

devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or

aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless

devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes

through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

Keep the antenna of the DP-G310 in an upright position.
