Operating Distance Tips
The range of your wireless connection is significantly determined by the physical
placement of the access point.
To optimize the results, place your wireless access point:
Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected PCs have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
Away from sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz / 5.8GHz cordless
phones. • Away from large metal surfaces.
Putting the antenna in a vertical position provides best side-to-side coverage. Putting the
antenna in a horizontal position provides best up-and-down coverage.
If using multiple access points for 2.4GHz 802.11g mode, it is better if adjacent access points
use different radio frequency Channels to reduce interference. The re commended Channel
spacing between adjacent access points is 5 Channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6
and 11).
