Recommended Wireless Environment
The following information helps you achieve the best wireless
performance:
! Placing your base station in the physical center of your network is
the best location because the antenna sends out the signal in all
directions.
! Placing the unit in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet,
helps disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving locations
on upper stories.
! Direct line of sight achieves better performance, but obviously this
is not always achievable.
! Try to avoid placing the unit next to large solid objects like
computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the
signal penetrate more cleanly.
! Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves, and
2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal. Keep
these devices away from the unit.
! Mirrors, especially silver-coated, can reduce transmission
performance.
