Before You Begin
Please read this guide carefully before installing and using the device. The
operating distance range of your wireless connection can vary significantly
depending on the physical position of the wireless devices. Factors that can
weaken signals by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal
appliances or obstructions, and walls. Typical ranges vary based on the types
of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or office.
In order to optimize the performance of TL-WA850RE, please follow the
instructions below to achieve an ideal location (please make sure it is always
within the wireless coverage of the wireless router).
● Half-way Between - Generally, the ideal location for TL-WA850RE is half-
way between the Wireless router and Wireless Client. If the wireless
signal is not satisfactory, you may place TL-WA850RE somewhat nearer
to the Wireless router.
● No Obstacles and Spacious - Clear obstacles in the way between TL-
WA850RE and Wireless router. It’s better to locate it in a spacious place,
such as near the corridors.
● No Interference - Choose a location away from Bluetooth devices and
other household electronics, such as cordless phone, microwave, and
baby monitor, etc., to minimize signal interference.
