Wireless Installation Considerations
The VW200 wireless router let your network using a wireless connection from virtually
anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the number,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must
pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of
materials and background RF noise in your home or business.
1. Router should be placed at the position with good CDMA signal.
2. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the VW200 and other
network devices to a minimum-each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s
range from 1~30 meters. Position your devices so that the number of walls or
ceilings is minimized.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs
may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless
routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with
insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will
degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 1~2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X – 10 (wireless products such
as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection
may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone
base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base
transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use.
