D-Link DWL-810+ [10/29] Getting started

Wireless Basics

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

Access Points and Adapters so that the signal will travel straight through

a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or

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

DWL-810+, the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so

that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other

materials.

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

devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.

Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-810+ transmits and

receives data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.
