Wireless Basics (continued)

Installation Considerations

The D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G650X lets you access your network, using a wireless

connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however,

that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the

wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending

on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or

business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices

or appliances that generate RF noise.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DWL-G650X and other network

devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your DWL-G650X’s

range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of

walls or ceilings is minimized.

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick

(.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At

a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that

the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for

better reception.

Building materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum

studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and

computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or

open doorways and not other materials.
