meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position Access Points and Adapters so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3.Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the DWL-810+, the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

4.Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.

Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-810+ transmits and receives data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.
