Dell 2300 Wireless Broadband Router - Manual (Page 15)

What is the practical coverage of the Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router?
The coverage of each Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router micro cell varies with physical objects and
interference in the coverage area. The rated coverage is 1500 feet for line of site, open area, optimal conditions, and minimal
throughput. Realistically, in a common home, office, or business environment, each Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband
Router micro cell has approximately a 150 to 250 foot coverage, while maintaining optimal throughput.
The coverage of the system is virtually unlimited. By design, the coverage of the system is extended via multiple access
points (Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Routers) arranged into an overlapping micro cell coverage arrangement,
similar to the cellular telephone system. This allows for virtually unlimited range via roaming, maximum throughput,
redundancy, minimized interference issues, and increased communication reliability.
Does the signal travel through walls
Yes, the signal travels through many barriers including glass, cement, wood and brick.
What devices cause interference?
The Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router and workstation adapters operate in the unlicensed 2.4 gigahertz (GHz)
band. Other items operating in this frequency range that may cause interference include microwave ovens and 2.4 GHz
portable phones. PCS or analog cellular phones do not operate at 2.4 GHz and do not cause interference. Proper placement
of access points usually eliminates interference problems created by other 2.4 GHz devices.
Can I roam to another subnet with the Dell TrueMobile 2300?
In order to roam to another subnet, consider implementing a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) and have all access points
located on one VLAN.
