Optimizing the Wireless Network Connection
Use the following tips to ensure that the adapter is functioning at its best:
■
Make sure the antenna is screwed into the adapter before starting configuration. The
adapter will not get reception without the antenna.
■
Place the wireless adapter in a central location and away from walls and metal objects that
may block reception.
■
Use a wireless repeater to extend the range of your wireless adapter.
■
Avoid using cell phones or other wireless electronics nearby.
