What You Need before You Begin
You need to consider the following guidelines and requirements before you can set up your
wireless access point. See also System Requirements on p

Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the location of the
wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power
consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant
performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the
wireless access point. For complete performance specifications,
