Observe Wireless Location and Range Guidelines

Computers can connect over wireless networks indoors at a range which vary significantly based on the location of the computer with the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as:

Large metal surfaces

Microwave ovens

2.4 GHz Cordless phones

In general, wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are between the devices.
