CHAPTER 2 Hardware installation This chapter covers plugging in the Wireless Router, and connecting the router to a WAN, LAN, and wireless LAN (WLAN). Setup Considerations When setting up the Router be sure to note the following points: • Optimize the performance of the Router by ensuring that the distance between access points is not too far. In most buildings, the Router operates within a range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and structure of the walls. • Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install another access point to circumvent this problem. • Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with transmission. • Do not place the Router near (within 4 feet) electrical devices that generate RF noise, such as microwave ovens, monitors, and electric motors. - 10 -

Hardware installation
This chapter covers plugging in the Wireless Router, and connecting the router to a WAN, LAN, and wireless LAN
(WLAN).
Setup Considerations
When setting up the Router be sure to note the following points:
•
Optimize the performance of the Router by ensuring that the distance between access points is not too
far. In most buildings, the Router operates within a range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness
and structure of the walls.
•
Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal. If there is interference in transmitting
through a wall, it may be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install another access point
to circumvent this problem.
•
Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing struts that interfere with transmission.
•
Do not place the Router near (within 4 feet) electrical devices that generate RF noise, such as micro-
wave ovens, monitors, and electric motors.
