Wi-Fi tips
Wi-Fi routers allow you to access your internet system using a
Wi-Fi connection from essentially any place within the functional
range of the wireless network. Nevertheless, the number, depth and
position of walls, ceilings, or additional partitions that the wireless
signals must travel through may limit the range and strength of the
signal. Normal signals vary depending on the material types and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
1. Be sure to have a minimal number of walls and ceilings between
the router and other network devices. Each barrier can reduce
your adapter’s range by 1-3 meters (3-9 feet).
2. Be sure to have a straight line, free of any partition, between
network devices. Even a wall that seems rather thin can block
a signal of 1 meter (3 feet) if the wall angle is shifted by only 2
degrees. To achieve the best reception, place all the devices
so that the Wi-Fi signal travels straight through (900) a wall or
partition (instead of at an angle).
3. Construction materials make a dierence. A solid metal door,
or aluminum nails, can be very dense and may have an adverse
eect on a Wi-Fi signal. Try to position access points, wireless
routers, and computers so that the signal travels through drywalls
or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel,
metal, walls with insulation, water tanks (aquariums), mirrors, file
cabinets, brick, and concrete may reduce your wireless signal.
4. Keep your iTero product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters)
from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless
products such as ceiling fans, remote lights, and home security
systems), your wireless connection may severely degrade or
entirely drop. The base of many wireless devices transmits an
RF signal, even if the device is not in use. Position your other
wireless devices as far as possible from your scanner and router.
6. In your area, there may be more than one active wireless
network. Each network uses one or more channels. If the channel
is near your system channels, the communication may gradually
decline. Ask your IT department to check this, and if required,
change the channel numbers used by your network.
