3DHD Home Theater Adapter WNHD3004 User Manual • Identify critical wireless links. If your network has several wireless devices, decide which wireless devices need the highest data rate, and locate the router near them. Many wireless products have automatic data-rate fallback, which allows increased distances without loss of connectivity. This also means that devices that are farther away might be slower. Therefore, the most critical links in your network are those where the traffic is high and the distances are great. Optimize those first. • Choose placement carefully. For best results, place your router: - Near the center of the area in which your devices will operate. - In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls). - Avoid obstacles to wireless signals. - Keep wireless devices at least 2 feet from large metal fixtures such as file cabinets, refrigerators, pipes, metal ceilings, reinforced concrete, and metal partitions. 5-4 Customizing Your Wireless Network v1.0, November 2010
