2 Before you Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the ENGENIUS ECB300 is essential to maximize
the ECB300’s performance. Avoid placing the ECB300 in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or wardrobe.
2.1 Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices cannot be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the
environment that the device is deployed in. These could be the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other
objects that the ECB300’s wireless signals must pass through. Here are some key guidelines to allow the ECB300 to have
optimal wireless range.
 Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the ECB300 and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall
and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in lower signal strength.
 Building materials makes a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect
on the signal strength of the ECB300. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through a drywall
and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets,
and/or brick can also lower your wireless signal strength.

Interferences can also come from other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise. The most usual
types are microwaves and cordless phones.
