Tuning Wireless Performance
This chapter discusses steps to tune wireless performance. These steps can
optimize wireless performance in many cases.
First, note that placement of your MG7540 can be very important. Make sure it is
not too close to other wireless devices like Bluetooth transmitters (e.g. for
headsets), or a neighbor’s wireless router. For example, in an apartment an
MG7540 could be only feet away from a neighbor’s device on the other side of a
shared wall.
There are also optimizations you can make by using the MG7540’s Configuration
Manager.
Log into the Configuration Manager as described in chapter 4. In summary, you
type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar of your browser, go to that address, enter
the Username admin and Password motorola , then click the Login button.
This will bring you to the Basic Status and Settings page. When the Basic Status
and Settings page comes up, click the Advanced button at the top right.
Remember that you can go back to the Basic Status and Settings page at any time
by clicking the Motorola ‘M’ logo at the upper left of the page.
To optimize wireless performance, check channel usage of neighboring devices.
This is more likely to be an issue in the 2.4 GHz band than in the 5 GHz band, but
we will show you how to check both bands. You can do this by looking at the
wireless Scan Results table.
