Positioning Your Wireless Ethernet Bridge
To achieve the best wireless performance, review these guidelines before deciding where to place your WE800G:
!Placing your WE800G in the physical center of your network is the best location because the antenna sends out the signal in all directions.
!Placing the WE800G in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet, helps to disperse the signal cleanly, especially to receiving locations on upper stories.
!If possible, position your WE800G so there is a direct line of sight between the WE800G and your other home network devices.
!Avoid placing the WE800G next to large solid objects like computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces, etc. This helps the signal penetrate more cleanly.
!Other wireless devices like televisions, radios, microwaves and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal. Keep devices away from the WE800G.
