POSITION YOUR ROUTER
The gateway lets you get access of your 2.4Ghz WiFi and ZigBee network from virtually anywhere within the
operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance of range of your wireless
connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the
thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, place
your gateway:
•
Near the centre of the area where your computers or sensor devices operate, and preferably within the line
of sight to your wireless devices.
•
Keeping the number of walls and ceilings between the gateway and your devices to a minimum.
• Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that might cause
interference includes ceiling fans, microwaves, computers, the base of a cordless phone, or a 2.4Ghz
cordless phone.
• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminium studs. Large expanses of
other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your
wireless signal.
