InstallationConsiderations
Keepinmind,thatthenumber,thicknessandlocationofwalls,ceilings,orotherobjects
thatthewirelesssignalsmustpassthrough,maylimittherange.Typicalrangesvary
dependingonthetypesofmaterialsandbackgroundRF(radiofrequency)noisein
yourhomeorbusiness.Thekeytomaximizingwirelessrangeistofollowthesebasic
guidelines:
WirelessBasics(continued)
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWLG700AP and
othernetworkdevicestoaminimumeachwallorceilingcanreduceyour
DWLG700AP’srangefrom390feet(130meters.)Positionyourdevicesso
thatthenumberofwallsorceilingsisminimized.
Beawareofthedirectlinebetweennetworkdevices.Awallthatis1.5feetthick
(.5meters),ata45degreeangleappearstobealmost3feet(1meter)thick.
Ata2degreeangleitlooksover42feet(14meters)thick!Positiondevices
sothatthesignalwilltravelstraightthroughawallorceiling(insteadofatan
angle)forbetterreception.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal  a solid metal door or
aluminumstudsmayhaveanegativeeffectonrange.Trytopositionwireless
devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes
throughdrywalloropendoorwaysandnotothermaterials.

Keepyourproductaway(atleast36feetor12meters)fromelectricaldevices
orappliancesthatgenerateRFnoise.
