Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What are the requirements for wireless networking?
A. It is important to view the characteristics of the entire network and not just each
individual node. The theoretical distance between wireless network devices is 100
feet inside of a building, and 300 feet outdoors.
A number of factors can impact the practical limit of the network. Contact your
service provider or consult the documentation for your wireless network devices for
more information.
Q. Where is the best location for my wireless network devices?
A. You can use a large variety of wireless network devices with your residential
gateway. These include computers, PDAs, etc. On the wireless network, all devices
impact the characteristics of the network, because each device transmits a wireless
signal.
Contact your service provider or consult the documentation for your wireless
network device for more information on selecting the appropriate wireless network
devices for your home or office network.
You should work with your service provider to choose the best location for your
wireless network devices. Consider these recommendations:
Distance from the wireless residential gateway to the wireless network devices.
Do not place the wireless residential gateway near metallic surfaces that may
block the wireless communications path. Wireless communication is “line-of-
sight” through non-metallic walls. However, the more structures (walls) the
signal must pass through, the weaker the received signal.
Do not place wireless network devices near a microwave oven. When operating,
microwave ovens can interfere with wireless transmissions.
Do not place your wireless network devices near 2.4 GHz wireless telephones
because these telephones may also cause interference with your wireless
network.
