3. Building Materials make a difference: Buildings constructed using metal framing or doors can reduce

effective range of the device. If possible, position wireless devices so that their signal can pass through drywall

or open doorways, avoid positioning them so that their signal must pass through metallic materials. Poured

concrete walls are reinforced with steel while cinderblock walls generally have little or no structural steel.

4. Position the antennas for best reception: Play around with the antenna position to see if signal strength

improves. Some adapters or access points allow the user to judge the strength of the signal.

5. Keep your product away (at least 1-2 meters) from electrical devices: Position wireless devices away from

electrical devices that generate RF noise such as microwave ovens, monitors, electric motors, etc.
