Considerations for Wireless Installation

The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre- determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the environment that the device is placed. These could be the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to ensure that you have the optimal wireless range.

1.Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Belkin access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the signal strength; the degradation depends on the building’s material.

2.Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on range. Position your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets and brick will also degrade your wireless signal.

3.Interference can also come from other electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. The most common types are microwaves or cordless phones.
