D-Link WNA-1330 Quick Install Guide

Wireless Installation 

Considerations

The D-Link wireless adapter lets you access your network using a wireless 

connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless 

network. Keep in mind, however, that 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 (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The 

key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1.  Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link adapter 

and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can 

reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position 

your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2.  Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that 

is 1.5 feet thick (.5 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 devices so that the signal will travel 

straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better 

reception.

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  3-6  feet  or  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 in not in use.
