1.6Installation Considerations

zBeware of the walls and ceilings. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless cover range form 3-90 feet. Properly position your Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or ceilings residing between Access Points and clients is minimized.

zBuilding materials make a difference – A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on signal coverage range. Try to properly position Access Points and computers with wireless adapters so that there would be less obstacles existing between them.

zKeep your wireless LAN devices away from microwaves, cordless phones and child incubators. It is likely that the latter will cause interferences to the operation of your wireless LAN devices.
