1.6 Installation Considerations

l

Beware of the walls and ceilings. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless cover range

form 3-90 feet. Properly position your Access Points, Residential Gateways, and computers

so that the number of walls or ceilings residing between Access Points and clients is

minimized.

l

Building materials make a difference – A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a

negative effect on signal coverage range. Try to properly position Access Points and

computers with wireless adapters so that there would be less obstacles existing between

them.

l

Keep your wireless LAN devices away from microwaves, cordless phones and child

incubators. It is likely that the latter will cause interferences to the operation of your wireless

LAN devices.
