NL1901ACV Enhanced Hybrid 4G LTE Gateway – User Guide
UG01063 v. 1.0 December 2018
Installation and configuration of the
NL1901ACV
Placement of your NL1901ACV
The wireless connection between your NL1901ACV and your WiFi devices will be strong when they are in close
proximity and have direct line of sight. As your client device moves further away from the NL1901ACV or solid
objects block direct line of sight to the gateway, your wireless connection and performance may degrade. This may
or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try
moving the computer to a position between three to five meters from the NL1901ACV in order to see if distance is
the problem.
– While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning;
if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this check list may help
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NL1901ACV, please try the
following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the NL1901ACV on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible.
This may mean placing the NL1901ACV on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NL1901ACV near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the
NL1901ACV (2.4GHz/5GHz).
Avoiding obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NL1901ACV near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects
that can inhibit wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not
blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the NL1901ACV).
Cordless phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless
phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your NL1901ACV and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band (check
manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NL1901ACV.
