Extending the Range of the WLAN Radio Network
This chapter describes how to extend the range of your WLAN
radio network using the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater.
4.1
Prerequisite
The FRITZ!WLAN Repeater must be connected with your WLAN
base station.
4.2
Choosing the Best Location for FRITZ!WLAN Repeater
Choose an appropriate location and plug the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater into an electrical outlet there.
The WLAN connection to your WLAN base station is re-estab-
lished automatically after connecting the repeater to the out-
let. The settings of the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater remain intact if
you disconnect the device from the power mains.
Please note the following when choosing a location:
•
The best location is halfway between your WLAN base
station and the devices the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater should
integrate into your wireless network.
If there is no electrical outlet at this location, test differ-
ent other locations.
•
The LEDs
display the quality of the radio signal
the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater receives from the WLAN base
station. The better the received radio signal, the better
the radio signal sent by the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater.
•
Make sure to keep sufficient distance from potential
sources of interference like microwave devices, electric
devices with large metal housings, radiators or walls.
For instructions on connecting the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater with
your WLAN base station, see the chapter
