About Wireless (Radio) Connections
Your base station communicates by radio transmission. Radio waves travel in all
directions, and can be transmitted through walls and floors. This section on wireless
connections provides important information about wireless performance.
Placement of Wireless Components
The following placement recommendations will help you achieve the best wireless
range, coverage, security, and connection speed from your wireless devices:
O
Place the base station near the center of your intended wireless network area. This
will minimize the possibility of eavesdropping by neighboring wireless networks.
O
Place wireless components in direct line of sight to one another, if possible.
O
Place wireless components on desks or shelves when possible (instead of on the
floor) to avoid obstacles and achieve better reception on the upper stories of
buildings.
O
Avoid placing wireless components in a way such that large, solid objects block the
direct path between them. Building components, such as fireplaces, concrete or
masonry walls and floors, metal framing, UV window film, and metallic paint will
reduce radio signal strength.
