meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick.
At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position
Access Points and Adapters so that the signal will travel straight through
a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - A solid metal door or
aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position the
DWL-810+, the Access Points, and computers with wireless adapters so
that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other
materials.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that may generate extreme RF noise.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, the DWL-810+ transmits and
receives data over the air, eliminating the need for a wired connection.
4. Getting
Started
Setup #1:
This example illustrates an
Ad-Hoc
setup. Simply connect the DWL-810+
(
refer to the Quick Installation Guide
) to your Ethernet-capable network
device
(in this case, a gaming console
) and you will be able to connect
wirelessly with other gaming consoles also connected to DWL-810+’s.
