Chapter 3
Wireless Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your Integrated ADSL Modem and Wireless Router with Voice, Model DG834GV.
Considerations for a Wireless Network
In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should also select the physical placement of your modem router in order to maximize the network speed.
To ensure proper compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region must be set correctly.
Observe Performance, Placement, and Range Guidelines
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless firewall. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption also vary depending on your configuration choices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation 
or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range/performance
specifications, please see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications”.
For best results, place your firewall:
•Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate
•In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have
•Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and cordless phones
•With the Antenna tight and in the upright position
•Away from large metal surfaces
