Local Network Setup

Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. If for example the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are favoured. Please note that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, that is by reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings. It is advisable to use the received signal strength as indicated by the wireless client manager to optimize the antenna position for the link to a given client.

Concrete walls will die down the radio signal strength and thus affect the connection.
