If I installed several Access Points in different locations in my building, will they be able to talk to each other? Will I be able to stay connected as I moved between them?

The Access Point does not communicate with other access points, as it uses a single access point system. If you installed several Access Points and were to move between coverage areas, your wireless device would actually have to recon- nect to a separate network. Windows XP can handle this automatically using the Wireless Zero Configuration Utility.

Can my wireless signal pass through floors, walls, and glass?

The effect of the physical environment can have varying effects on signal strength and quality. The denser an object (a concrete wall compared to a plaster wall, for example), the greater the interference will be. Concrete or metal-rein- forced structures cause a higher degree of wireless signal loss than those made of wood, plaster, or glass.

What is the best placement for the Access Point to gain maximum throughput and distance?

The best placement of the Access Point is in an elevated position centrally locat- ed in the area of service. To reduce the effect of physical barriers, place the Access Point in a location with the least amount of physical obstructions within the service area.

What is WEP?

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the standard encryption mode for 802.11g communications.

What is the default username and password for the Access Point?

The default username for the Access Point is Admin. The default password is also Admin. The username and password can be changed on the "Admin" screen of the Access Point's Web Interface Utility. See the User Manual for more information.
