1.4 Wireless Performance

The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating coverage of

WAP-6200.

1. Site selection

To avoid interferences, please locate WAP-6200 and wireless clients away from transformers, microwave

ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial equipments. Keep the

number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength may be

seriously reduced. Place WAP-6200 in open space or add additional WAP-6200 as needed to improve the

coverage.

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

WAP-6200 in a specific location without testing.
