ONT supporting Wi-Fi (such as HG8247H), a wireless network coverage is subject to
the number, thickness, and positions of walls, materials, ceilings, or other objects that
radio signals traverse. Besides, metarial type and background radio frenquency (RF)
noise also affect the coverage of a wireless network. You can maximize the coverage
of a wireless network using the following methods:
1.
Decrease the number of walls and ceilings between HG8247H and other
network devices.
Each wall or ceiling reduces the coverage of a wireless network by one to 30
meters. Install HG8247H at a proper place to avoid walls or ceilings whenever
possible.
2.
Observe the straight line rule when installing network devices.
The distance for which signals have to traverse at a 45° corner of two 0.5 meter-
thick walls reaches approximately one meter. To better receive signals, devices
should be installed at places where signals can directly traverse walls or ceilings.
3.
Note the impact of building materials on the wireless network coverage.
A metal door or aluminum wall may limit the coverage of a wireless network.
Install access points, wireless routers, and computers, so signals can traverse
walls or open passageways. Materials and objects such as FRP products, metal
products, insulative walls, filing cabinets, bricks, and concrete weaken radio
signals.
4.
When connecting ONT (such as HG8247H) to a wireless network, keep it far
from the following devices:
- Electronic devices or components that produce RF noises (keep a distance of
more than 2 meters between such a device and HG8247H.)
-
2.4 GHz wireless mobile phones or X-10 devices (such as microwave ovens,
home security systems, blue-tooth devices, and refrigerators) that greatly weaken
or even eliminate radio signals. Even if a 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phone is not
connected to a wireless network, the phone base still sends signals that interfere
the wireless network.
