GN-A16B Wireless Access Point User Guide

Hareware Installation

Follow these steps to install the Wireless Access Point.

1.Choose a proper place for Access Point. In general, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight to all wireless devices. Keeping clear of metal obstructions and away from direct sunlight.

2.Place the Access Point in the desired location. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.

3.Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Access Point and attach the other end to a network hub, switch, router, or patch panel (possibly on a wall).

4.Attach one end of the AC power adapter to the Access Point and the other end to a power outlet. (Note: Only use the power adapter supplied by Gigabyte in the product package. Using a different adapter may result in product damage.)

For the average home, signal range should not be an issue. If you experience low or no signal strength in areas of your home that you wish to access, consider positioning the Access Point in a location directly between the computers with wireless adapters. Addi- tional Access Points can be connected to provide better coverage in rooms where the signal does not appear as strong as desired.
