Wireless Installation Considerations
The DAP-1720 lets you extend your existing wireless networks coverage as long as it is within range of the uplink network. Keep in mind
that the DAP-1720’s range may be limited by the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless
signals must pass through. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background radio frequency (RF) noise in
your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DAP-1720 and other network devices to a minimum -
each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapters range from 1 to 30 meters (3 to 90 feet). Position your devices
so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 0.5 meters (1.5 feet thick), at a 45-degree
angle appears to be almost 1 meter (1.5 feet) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 14 meters (42 feet) thick!
Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for
better reception.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on
range. Try to position extenders, access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes
through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation,
water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product at least 1 to 2 meters (3 to 6 feet) away from electrical devices or appliances that generate
RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones or X-10 wireless products (such as ceiling fans, lights, and home
security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4
GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the
phone is not in use.
