3DHD Home Theater Adapter WNHD3004 User Manual Positioning Your Unit The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your unit. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal must pass through might limit the range. Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or an inability to wirelessly connect to the home theater adapter. For best results, place your WNHD3400: • Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices will operate, preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices. • Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for other devices. • In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings between the wireless access point and your other devices to a minimum. • Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless signal. • If placing 2 WNHD3004 devices with a direct line of sight between them, do not place them closer than 10 feet, as the antennas are tuned for this optimum distance. For information on connecting the WNHD3004 to a router or connecting a wireless device to the WNHD3004 Access Point, see "Access Point Mode WPS Setup" on page 2-2. 1-4 Getting Started v1.0, November 2010
