Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
2.1 Before You Begin
Please read this User Guide carefully before installing and using the equipment. The operating
distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical
position of the wireless devices. Factors that can weaken signals by getting in the way of your
network’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary base
on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.
For best performance of your wireless network, you are suggested to:
1). Avoid redundant obstacles and interference between the wireless devices.
2). Keep your AP away from appliances with a strong electric field or magnetic field, such as a
microwave oven or refrigerator.
3). Place the AP near the center of the area in which your computers operates.
2.2 Basic Requirements
Use only the power adapter provided with your AP
Place your AP in a well ventilated place far from direct sunlight, any heater or heating vent
Leave at least 2 inches (5cm) space around the device for heat dissipation
Turn off your AP and unplug the power adapter in a lighting storm to avoid damage
