2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every
environment is unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is
hard to determine the exact operating range of MAP-3100 in a specific location without
testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The bundled antenna of MAP-3100 is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing
straight up, then smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal
reception is definitely weak in some certain areas, such as location right down the
antenna.
Moreover, the original antenna of MAP-3100 can be replaced with other external
antennas to extend the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want
to use, and make sure it can be used on MAP-3100.
