About Wireless (Radio) Connections

Your base station communicates by radio transmission. Radio waves travel in all directions, and can be transmitted through walls and floors. This section on wireless connections provides important information about wireless performance.

Placement of Wireless Components

The following placement recommendations will help you achieve the best wireless range, coverage, security, and connection speed from your wireless devices:

OPlace the base station near the center of your intended wireless network area. This will minimize the possibility of eavesdropping by neighboring wireless networks.

OPlace wireless components in direct line of sight to one another, if possible.

OPlace wireless components on desks or shelves when possible (instead of on the floor) to avoid obstacles and achieve better reception on upper stories of buildings.

OAvoid placing wireless components in a way such that large, solid objects block the direct path between them. Building components, such as fireplaces, concrete or masonry walls and floors, metal framing, UV window film, and metallic paint will reduce radio signal strength.
