The distance capabilities of your wireless network equipment directly affect your signal quality. Distance
capabilities are usually stated in terms of outdoor, open field reach. However, this reach is greatly
diminished indoors by walls, doors, construction techniques and appliances that may block the radio
signal. A wireless network adapter that tests outdoors at 200 feet could, in an indoor environment, provide
20 feet in one direction and as little as 5 or 10 feet in another direction. Factors such as building materials,
floor plans and furnishings can greatly impact the signal range, quality and rate of data transmission. The
extent to which your signal is affected varies greatly depending on your environment.
Wireless network products powered by D2D technology will provide better performance than other
products because they can achieve open field distances of up to one mile, (when a D2D enabled adapter
is used in conjunction with a D2D enabled base station). The D2D adapter alone provides 3 to 7 times the
distance of other leading brands. This is sufficient to reach all rooms in most homes or small offices.
