This Chapter covers the physical installation of the Wireless Access Point.

Requirements

Requirements:

x TCP/IP network

x Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors

x Installed Wireless network adapter for each PC that will be wirelessly connected to the

network

Procedure

1. Select a suitable location for the installation of your Wireless Access Point. To maximize

reliability and performance, follow these guidelines:

x Use an elevated location, such as wall mounted or on the top of a cubicle.

x Place the Wireless Access Point near the center of your wireless coverage area.

x If possible, ensure there are no thick walls or metal shielding between the Wireless

Access Point and Wireless stations. Under ideal conditions, the Wireless Access Point

has a range of around 150 meters (450 feet). The range is reduced, and transmission

speed is lower, if there are any obstructions between Wireless devices.
