For a DSL home gateway that supports Wi-Fi, its wireless coverage is subject to the number,
thickness, and positions of walls, materials, ceilings, or other objects that radio signals
traverse. Besides, material types and background radio frequency (RF) noise also affect the
coverage. You can maximize the coverage of a wireless network using the following methods:
1.
Decrease the number of walls and ceilings between DSL home gateway and other network
devices. A wall or ceiling reduces the coverage of a wireless network by 1–30 m. Install the DSL
home gateway at a proper place to avoid walls or ceilings if possible.
2.
Observe the straight-line rule when installing network devices. The distance for which signals
have to traverse at a 45° corner of two 0.5-m thick walls is about 1 m. Install the devices at places
where signals can directly traverse walls or ceilings to better receive signals.
3.
Be aware of that building materials have different impacts on the wireless network coverage. A
metal door or aluminum wall may limit the coverage of a wireless network. Materials and objects
such as fiberglass (FRP) products, metal products, insulative walls, filing cabinets, bricks, and
concrete weaken radio signals. If possible, install access points, wireless routers, and computers
far away from these materials.
4.
When connecting DSL home gateway to a wireless network, keep it far from the following devices.
–
Electronic devices or components that produce RF noises (keep the DSL home gateway 2-m
away from such a device.).
–
2.4 GHz wireless mobile phones or X-10 devices (such as microwave ovens, home security
systems, bluetooth devices, and refrigerators) that greatly weaken or even eliminate radio
signals. Even if a 2.4 GHz wireless mobile phone is not connected to a wireless network, the
phone base still sends signals that interfere the wireless network.
