Appendix A - Wireless Basics

Where is wireless used?

Wireless technology is expanding everywhere not just at home or ofce. People like the freedom of mobility and it’s

becoming so popular that more and more public facilities now provide wireless access to attract people. The wireless

connection in public places is usually called “hotspots”.

Using a D-Link Cardbus Adapter with your laptop, you can access the hotspot to connect to Internet from remote

locations like: Airports, Hotels, Coffee Shops, Libraries, Restaurants, and Convention Centers.

Wireless network is easy to setup, but if you’re installing it for the rst time it could be quite a task not knowing where to

start. That’s why we’ve put together a few setup steps and tips to help you through the process of setting up a wireless

network.

Tips

Here are a few things to keep in mind, when you install a wireless network.

Centralize your access point or Access Point

Make sure you place the bridge/access point in a centralized location within your network for the best performance. Try

to place the bridge/access point as high as possible in the room, so the signal gets dispersed throughout your home.

If you have a two-story home, you may need a repeater to boost the signal to extend the range.

Eliminate Interference

Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, wireless speakers, and televisions as far away as

possible from the bridge/access point. This would signicantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause

since they operate on same frequency.
