Manual Giga Connect Box
Factors that affect wireless range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Increases range
Adding a wireless extender to the network
Decreases range
Metal or concrete walls between the Giga Connect
Box and other devices
Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets
between the Giga Connect Box and other devices
Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones,
microwave ovens, or other wireless networks)
Note: Set the transmit power level to High to increase the range. Set it to Medium or
Low to decrease the range proportionately.
Note: You may decide to decrease the range of your wireless network, as long as the
decreased range is sufficient for your needs. By limiting your network’s range, you
reduce interference with other networks and make it harder for unwanted users to
find and connect to your network.
Connect the Giga Connect Box
Warning:
Risk of injury or equipment damage.
Connecting the Giga Connect Box to the home’s existing telephone wiring should only
be performed by a professional installer. Physical connections to the previous
telephone provider must be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must
not be any voltage. Cancellation of telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so
may result in loss of service or permanent damage to the Giga Connect Box.
