Placement Guidelines
Table 3 describes the rear ports and Adapters.
Placement Guidelines
The Ruckus MediaFlex Router will automatically adjust, within limits, to room conditions. You can achieve
better signal reception by following the below placement guidelines:
Establishing a good general location
Your 2825 should be placed:
• Near the center of the room, if possible.
• On a shelf or other elevated location where other wireless networking devices are within line-of-sight
access.
• Away from other sources of electromagnetic interference (for example, microwave ovens, and cordless
phones).
• Away from large metal surfaces, pictures or mirrors, metal bookcases, displays, racks, etc..
• Away from large furniture or other physical obstructions, particularly metallic materials.
Using the Signal Quality LED to Fine-Tune the Placement
Wireless environments are sensitive to the physical arrangement of both electronic devices and furniture in
a room. You can observe the Signal Quality Indicator LED to determine the best location. The Signal Quality
indicator LED is described in
Table 2— “LED Indicators and Meanings” on page 13 .
Refer to the troubleshooting section on page 19 if video quality deteriorates after an installation.
If “Minimum Acceptable” or “Marginally Acceptable,” air quality is indicated, you can adjust the location
of the 2825 and other devices until a steady green LED indicates “good” signal quality.
