NETGEAR Next 300 Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter WN121T User Manual

Reduce interference.

Avoid windows unless communicating between buildings.

Place wireless devices away from various electromagnetic noise sources, especially those in the 2400–2500 MHz frequency band. Common noise-creating sources are:

Computers and fax machines (no closer than one foot)

Copying machines, elevators, and cell phones (no closer than 6 feet)

Microwave ovens (no closer than 10 feet)

Choose your settings.

Use a scanning utility to determine what other wireless networks are operating nearby, and choose an unused channel.

Turn off SSID Broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices may automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause significant performance reduction.
