Buffalo Technology WRB-G54K manual Determining the Best Location For the Repeater WLA-G54C

Determining the Best Location For the Repeater WLA-G54C

***IMPORTANT*** Although this procedure will assist you in selecting the best location for your repeater, some experimentation may be required to achieve optimal results. Many factors including line of sight obstructions and radio frequency interference affect signal strength, quality, and overall speed. Even small changes in the placement of the repeater can dramatically impact the quality of your connection.

Your WLA-G54C is preconfigured to work with your router so all that is required is to locate the best location for the WLA-G54C and attach power.

If the client computer you are using is portable you can use a signal strength indicator to determine the best location (Procedure A below).

If your computer is not portable, you can experiment with locations based on some general concepts to find a good spot and check signal strength (Procedure B below).

■NOTE: if you intend not to use the preconfigured settings for your repeater ( i.e. you intend to change the IP address or you intend to use the device as a stand-alone access point), please refer to the User Manual on your CD.
