with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the effective range will decrease if such materials are
between the devices. For more information, see the link to “Wireless Communications” in
Appendix B.

and verify wireless connectivity. If this is an addition to an existing wireless network, you will
need to identify the wireless network and wireless security settings that are already defined.
