Locate Your Router Properly
Wireless Performance Consideraons
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Adjust your wireless devices so that the
signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the
more signal you will lose. Keep the number of obstrucons to a minimum. Each obstrucon can reduce the range of
a wireless device. Posion the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstrucons between
them�
Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor environment, try to posion the
wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal,
solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal�
Antenna orientaon can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to
determine the best antenna orientaon for your wireless devices.
Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also impact your signal. Posion your wireless
devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors�
Any device operang on the 2.4GHz frequency will cause interference. Devices such as 2.4GHz cordless phones or
other wireless remotes operang on the 2.4GHz frequency can potenally drop the wireless signal. Although the
phone may not be in use, the base can sll transmit wireless signal. Move the phone’s base staon as far away as
possible from your wireless devices.
Adjust the wireless power seng on your router if you have more than one wireless network. Covering only the range necessary.
Covering more than necessary may cause wireless interference and slow down the networks�
