follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the D-Link access point and other network devices to a minimum.
Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapterโ€™s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that
the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

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.
